Restarting the Library Following a Power Outage

The SL150 Modular Tape Library is designed to recover automatically if power is
interrupted. If someone inadvertently unplugs the power cord or throws a circuit
breaker at the wall panel or if building power is lost altogether, the library returns to
its last power state once line power is restored. If the library was ON before the outage,
it will be ON afterward. If OFF, it will be OFF afterwards.
So, if the library was powered ON at the time of the outage, the library will boot up
normally as soon as power is once more available. But, if the library was powered OFF
when the outage occurred, the library does not automatically restart. When power is
restored, the library powers up and runs just long enough to check its previous power
state. Since it was OFF at the time of the outage, it powers itself OFF after a few seconds.
Restarting a library that was off prior to a power interruption is thus exactly like
restarting any other library that is off. See

Auditing

A library audit checks each slot in the library for tape cartridges, reads the label of
each tape cartridge found, and then checks the slot address and label in its internal
database. The library updates any slot/label combinations that have changed and
adds records for newly entered cartridges. The duration of the process varies based
upon the size of the library. A 30-cartridge library takes about seven minutes, for
example.
At any time, you can identify the resident cartridge and library address for an active
slot by placing the cursor over the cartridge icon and reading the fly-over text:
The Tape label property displays the value read from the label during the audit or
■
the value [UNREADABLE].
An [UNREADABLE] value means that the cartridge is unlabled, the label has
been misapplied or damaged, or the label uses an incompatible format.
The address within the library or partition is expressed as module number, side, row
■
number, and column number (for example, 1,Left,1,2).
