Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

Scalar i500 User’s Guide

You cannot save the library configuration record from the operator panel.
The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the web client, select
Tools > Save Configuration Record
.
Saving and Restoring the Library Configuration
The library has many configurable items, such as tape drive IDs,
partitions, user accounts, Import/Export (I/E) stations, and cleaning
slots. In the event of a hardware failure or firmware upgrade, the save
and restore operations can be used to restore the library's configurable
items to a previous state.
Saving the Library
Configuration
8
This operation saves your current library configuration and library
firmware. Save your library configuration when it is in a known working
state. In the event of a hardware failure, the saved configuration can be
used to restore the configuration after hardware repairs are made. Before
initiating a firmware upgrade, you should save the library configuration.
You then have the option to restore the configuration after either a
successful or an unsuccessful upgrade.
The Save/Restore Configuration operation is available only on the web
client. The path to open the appropriate screen is:
• From the web client, select
Tools > Save/Restore Configuration
.
Note:
The Saving and Restoring operations should not be performed
concurrently by multiple administrative users logged in from
different locations. You can access the screens, but you cannot
apply changes while another administrative user is
performing the same operation.
Caution:
Always save the library configuration after modifying a
configurable item and before upgrading firmware. This
allows you to restore the most current settings if necessary.
