Shutting Down, Restarting, Turning Off, and
Removing Power
It is important to shut down the library properly before turning off the
library or completely removing library power.
Caution:
You should always perform a shutdown before turning off
the library or completely removing power. Otherwise, the
following could occur:
– The library may not complete closing all data and log
files.
– If you turn off power or unplug the power cord while
writing to tape, the data on the tape could become
corrupted.
– If you unplug the power cord, the robot may become
frozen in the middle of an operation and unable to move
once library power is restored, possibly requiring a
service call.
The steps for shutting down, turning off, and completely removing
library power are:
1
Make sure the connected host applications are not sending
commands to the library and that all library operations have
stopped.
2
Shut down the library using the operator panel or Web client (see
Shutting Down the Library
on page 107).
3
Turn
OFF
the library by pressing the power button on the front
panel (see
Turning Off the Library
on page 111).
4
Remove library power by disconnecting the power supply cord from
the power supply on the back of the library. If there are two power
supplies, remove the cords to both. See
Completely Removing
Library Power
on page 111.
Shutting Down the
Library
Shutdown shuts down the library’s operating system and firmware,
closes data and log files, and retracts the picker so that a tape cartridge
or the picker fingers are not stuck part way into a tape drive or
