Running Your Library
Shutting Down or Restarting the Library
Administrators can use the System Shutdown screen to shut down or restart the library. Some maintenance activities
require that the library be shut down or restarted.
The Shutdown command shuts down the library's operating system and firmware. When performing a shutdown, the library
finishes all active commands received from the host application and does not process any new commands. It shuts down all
partitions and lowers the robot to the "shipping" position on the floor of the library. To finish the shutdown, press the power
button on the front of the 5U Library Control Module.
Always perform a shutdown before completely removing power from the library. To completely remove power from the library,
you must turn off the power switch on each power supply. Power is completely removed from the library when the blue LED
on each power supply turns off.
To turn the library back on, turn on the power switch on each power supply, press the front power button again, and then
follow the login procedure.
Caution:
If you do not perform a shutdown before you physically power off the library, loss of library configuration
data could occur.
Restart shuts down and restarts the library's operating system and firmware. When performing a restart, the library finishes
all active commands received from the host application and does not process any new commands. The library shuts down all
partitions and restarts them during the reboot. In addition, the library performs an inventory of cartridges, tape drives, and
slots during a reboot. Restarting takes approximately 5 minutes for the 5U Library Control Module and longer for the 14U and
23U library configurations.
If the "Not initialized" message appears on the operator panel after the restart process is complete, the library did not
properly initialize. View the All RAS Tickets screen to find the problem that is preventing the library from properly
initializing. See
Viewing RAS
Note:
The Restart operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators. You can access the
screen, 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 Operations > System Shutdown.
•
From the operator panel, select Operations > Shutdown.
