Manual Clean
The FPI and RMI provide menu and command selections to perform manual drive cleaning
operations. Manual drive cleaning operations allow the selection of a drive to be cleaned, regardless
of the drive requesting cleaning or not. The library will automatically scan through the cleaning slots, if
any, and select the most used cleaning cartridge. If there are no cleaning slots or if there are no
cartridges in these slots, the library will scan the I/E station for a cleaning cartridge.
When the cleaning has completed, the cleaning tape is moved back to its source location.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are:
From the remote management interface, select Operations > Clean Drive
From the front panel, select Operations > Clean Drive
Taking the Library Online/Offline
Taking a library online makes it accessible to host applications via the Storage Area Network (SAN).
Taking a library offline makes it inaccessible to host applications via the SAN.
Taking a Library Online
1. Using the library s front panel or the remote management interface, select Operations > Change
Partition Mode.
2. For each partition that you want to take online, click Online.
3. Click Apply.
Taking a Library Offline
1. Using the library s front panel or the remote management interface, select Operations > Change
Partition Mode.
2. For each partition that you want to take offline, click Offline.
3. Click Apply.
Magazine Handling
The operator is allowed to eject any or all of the magazines in the library through the FPI. This feature
is not implemented in the RMI because there is no means to reinsert the magazine remotely.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are:
From the FPI, select Operations > Eject Magazine.
As long as at least one magazine is present in the library, the library continues to operate normally.
Using the Mail Slot
There is no hard stop on the import/export slot.
When the system is configured for 3 I/E-slots follow this instruction:
Open the lower left magazine until the three first magazine slots are accessible.
Stop pulling the magazine at the stop line indicated on the mail slot label. By exceeding the stop
line, the library cannot differ whether the whole magazine has been exposed or only the three first
I/E slots. Thus when you reinsert the magazine the library will need to take an inventory check on
all 12 slots instead of only the I/E slots.
