Note:
Each column has a spring loaded mechanism that pushes the cartridges into Tier 1. Moving a
second cartridge into a column moves the first cartridge into Tier 2. Cartridges cannot be moved directly
from Tier 1 in one column to Tier 2 in another column in a single move operation (intermediate move
operations are required).
Note:
Cartridges cannot be moved to the accessor with this command. However, cartridges can be
moved from the accessor with this command if the library was powered OFF with a cartridge still held in
the accessor.
Unloading the drive
Select Manage Library > Unload Drive and click Unload to unload the tape cartridge from the tape
drive head.
Unload when library is in Random mode: The cartridge in the drive is unloaded from the tape head
mechanism, but is still retained inside the tape drive housing. The
Move Cartridge
command moves the
cartridge from the drive to another location. Moving a tape cartridge from a drive to another location
both unloads and moves the cartridge in a single action.
Unload when library is in Sequential mode: The cartridge in the drive is unloaded from the tape head
mechanism, and returned to the cartridge home position
Cleaning the drive manually
Select Manage Library > Clean Drive to clean a drive manually. Select a cleaning cartridge to use (from
the magazine or from the I/O station), and click Clean.
The cleaning cartridge is returned to its home position when the drive cleaning is finished.
Taking the library online and offline
Select Manage Library > Library State to take the library online or offline. Check the library status, and
click the button that is displayed to change the library status.
It is sometimes necessary to take the library offline before library servicing functions are completed. Once
these operations are finished, it is necessary to bring the library back online.
Note:
The tape drive is always online, even when the library is offline.
