Physical Mode
If you are an XLS administrator, you may occasionally need to operate the XLS in
physical mode
. In physical mode, you interact with X-Link from a physical library
perspective. When you interact with the XLS in physical mode:
•
You can view and control all resources in the library, whether or not they have
been assigned to a logical library.
•
You specify physical addresses for each cartridge slot, I/O port slot, or tape drive.
•
All logical libraries must be offline.
5.4.3
Putting the XLS in Physical Mode
If you need to perform a task that could change the internal state of the physical library,
you must put the XLS in physical mode. When you put the XLS in physical mode, the
following occurs:
•
The XLS completes any current or pending operations for the software
applications, then it takes all defined logical libraries offline.
•
The XLS returns Check Condition status to any new requests by the software
applications, indicating that it is not ready.
•
An event is logged in the event log and a message is sent to designated users.
•
The tape drives remain accessible to the software applications and can continue
reading and writing data.
To put the XLS in physical mode, follow these steps:
1.
If necessary, press the
Home
button in the upper right corner of any page to
return to the Home page.
2.
Access the Service portlet (see
Section 5.3 on page 5-7
).
