Magstar 3494 Tape Library Operator Guide
The library manager console provides information about many of the failure and
exception conditions reported to the host. It also provides overall status about the
operation of the library. This section shows several windows you can use for
problem determination. See "Using the Library Manager" on page 88 for details
about the windows. The windows are described in the order to follow when you are
determining the source of the problem.
Action
1. Remove the cartridge from the convenience output
station.
2. Place a new cleaner cartridge of the same type, with
a bar-code label that matches one of the cleaner
masks, in the convenience input station.
1. Remove the cartridge from the output station and
repair or replace it.
2. Clear the item from the Intervention Required pop-up
window. See Table 20 on page 292 for details.
Either add volumes of the appropriate media type to the
library or perform a scratch cycle though your tape
management system to convert volumes to scratch in the
library.
1. Issue a library request to eject the volume from the
library and apply a new cartridge external label, if it
has not already been ejected.
2. Place the cartridge in the convenience input station.
3. Clear the item from the Intervention Required pop-up
window. See "Operator Intervention" on page 199 for
details.
Refer to "Library Manager Failure in a DFSMS/MVS
Environment" on page 261 for recovery procedures.
CBR3784I will indicate when the switchover has
completed.
Any outstanding mount requests (CBR4196D) can be
responded to and any new requests to the library can be
submitted. Refer to "Start the Library Manager and Host
Recovery Procedure (DFSMS/MVS Environment)" on
page 263 to recover from inserts or ejects that may have
been in progress at the time of the failure.
