NOTE:
The Library assigns the WWNames used by Fibre Channel drives to the drive locations. When you
replace a tape drive, the WWName is re-assigned to the replacement drive.
The Library assigns SAS World Wide IDs to the drive locations. When you replace a SAS tape drive,
the World Wide ID is re-assigned to the replacement drive.
Removing and replacing a magazine
CAUTION:
Only remove a magazine manually in an emergency or if you need to remove the magazines from
both sides of the device. Failure to follow normal procedure can cause data loss and equipment
damage.
If possible, the magazines should be released using the OCP or RMI. HP recommends that you release
the magazines using the OCP or RMI; however, if the OCP process fails, or if a magazine needs to
be removed when the power to the device is off, you can release the magazines manually.
TIP:
The MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 have multiple magazines on each side. The Library will
release all of the magazines on a side at the same time. If you want to remove more than one magazine
from a side, pull the magazines that need to be removed out a few centimeters or inches immediately
after the Library releases them. You can then remove the magazines from the Library one at a time.
