StorageLibrary T40 Installation and User Guide 45
Once the prompt on the FPI appears to select a logical library partition, the user is requested to add
that tape to the cleaning/system partition. After completion of requested user input, the library initiates
a move of the tape to the selected drive to perform the cleaning operation. The manual cleaning
operation returns the media back to the I/E station slot.
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/Off-line
Taking a library online makes it accessible to host applications via the Storage Area Network (SAN).
Taking a library off-line 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 Off-line
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 off-line, click Off-line.
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 front panel, select Operations > Eject Magazine
As long as at least one magazine is present in the library, the library continues to operate normally.
Removing the Magazine from the Unit
The following illustration shows the correct way to remove the magazine from its bay.
Note
You cannot remove the magazine if the unit is password protected or locked by
host software through a Prevent Medium Removal SCSI command.
When ejecting the magazine it automatically pops out a few inches. With one hand, grip the handle on
the outer side of the magazine bezel and hold the other hand under the magazine. Pull the magazine
carefully out and keep it in level with the library. If the magazine is filled with cartridges be aware of
the weight of the magazine. Keep one hand underneath the magazine to prevent the back of the
magazine to fall down when it leaves the magazine bay. See
Figure 17 Removing the Magazine from
the Library.
