Running Your Library
There are three reasons the I/E station door locks:
•
The library imports or exports a cartridge from the I/E station door. While the library is attempting to import or export
a tape from a given I/E station slot, only the associated I/E station door is locked in the closed position. All other I/E
station doors remain accessible. On a "get" from an I/E station slot, the associated I/E station door remains locked
until the media has been successfully moved to its destination. This allows the media to be returned to the I/E station
slot in the event of a put error.
•
A user has requested that the I/E station door be locked.
•
If the I/E station slots are configured as storage slots, the door is always locked. When all I/E station slots are
configured as storage slots, you can use the Locking and Unlocking I/E station operation to unlock the I/E station in
the 5U Library Control Module. When the I/E station is unlocked, you can open the main access door on the 5U Library
Control Module. This, in turn, unlocks all remaining I/E stations in the library, allowing you to access all remaining
access doors in the library.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
•
From the Web client, select Operations > I/E Station.
•
From the operator panel, select Operations > Lock/Unlock I/E Station.
Manually Unlocking the I/E Station Door
While the recommended procedure is to unlock the I/E station door using the Operations > I/E Station Lock/Unlock
command,
you can, if necessary, unlock the I/E station door manually.
The process for manually unlocking the I/E station door includes the following steps:
1
Standing in front of the library, look for the small (0.25 inches in diameter) access hole on the front of the I/E station
door.
2
Insert a pencil-shaped object into the access hole and press inward.
If an I/E station is configured as storage, the station door will lock automatically when you close it, assuming that the library
is powered on. If you unlocked the door while the library was powered off, the door will lock automatically during power up.
Controlling FC I/O Blade Power
Administrators can turn on, turn off, or power cycle individual FC I/O blades in the library. Turning off or power cycling the FC
I/O blade will cause a temporary loss of communication with connected hosts. The screen will display a warning message
about the communication loss and ask you to confirm that you want to proceed.
The Setup - Blade Control screen allows you to perform the following operations on the selected FC I/O blades:
On the Web client:
Click On to turn on the FC I/O blade.
•
•
Click Off to turn off the FC I/O blade.
•
Click Cycle to power cycle the FC I/O blade. It takes approximately 3 minutes to power cycle a blade.
On the operator panel, select the option you want:
•
Power Cycle Blade
•
Power On Blade
•
Power Off Blade
Note:
This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different
locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is
performing the same operation.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
•
From the Web client, select Setup > I/O Blades > Blade Control.
From the operator panel, select Setup > I/O Blades > Blade Control.
