Restoring Library Configuration
Use the
Restore
command to restore a library using a configuration
image that is saved on a remote file system.
If library configuration has occurred since the last time the image was
saved, those changes will be lost when the older configuration is
restored. The restore operation will succeed, but you will then need to
reconfigure the library, including the partitions and mappings.
Therefore, it is important to save the local rescue and/or remote restore
image periodically, especially following hardware configuration
changes.
Caution: Be cautious if you plan to use a saved library configuration
image that is out of date. You might restore configuration
information that you do not want, such as former
passwords, partitions, mappings, and hardware
configurations.
1 Log on as an administrator from the remote client. The Restore
command is not available from the library’s touch screen. Click the
CONFIG button on the LMC toolbar. The Save and Restore Library
Configuration dialog box appears.
Alternatively, make sure that you are viewing the physical library
(from the View menu, click the name of the physical library), then
click Tools > Save/Restore .
2 Click Restore .
Note:
If the library is not offline, you receive a message that asks
you whether you want to take it offline. Click
Yes
.
