If the library or a tape drive has encountered an error and is not operating as
expected after you have tried the recommended corrective actions, you may
need to reset the library or the individual tape drive.
Resetting the library causes it to perform its power-on self-test and a full
cartridge inventory. If the library is performing a cartridge move operation
when it is reset, it completes the move operation before it performs the
power-on self-test.
Resetting a tape drive causes the drive to perform its power-on self-test and
rewind any loaded tape to the beginning.

Important
After a tape drive is reset, the drive rewinds the tape but does not
eject the cartridge. Make sure that it is safe to overwrite the tape
before performing a backup so that you don’t lose previously
recorded data.
Caution
Before resetting, make sure the library and tape drive(s) are not communicating
across the SCSI bus. The reset may disrupt communications on the SCSI bus.
