Re-Inventory with Virtual Tape Servers
Prior to selecting “Re-inventory complete system”, VTS stacked volumes which are
mounted on the 3590 tape drives which are associated with the VTS must be
returned to 3494 Tape Library cartridge storage cells. This is achieved by setting the
VTS subsystems to the OFFLINE state before setting the 3494 Tape Library to the
OFFLINE state.
To prepare for “Re-inventory complete system”:
1. All logical libraries (Virtual Tape Servers and non-VTS logical libraries, if any)
must be varied offline at the attaching hosts.
2. Select Service menu from the Mode pull-down to allow access to additional
service functions.
3. From the Service pull-down, shown in Figure 106 on page 175, select VTS
Subsystem Management and Online/Offline to display the VTS Online/Offline
Panel (Figure 107 on page 176).
4. Set the VTS unit(s) Offline by performing the following steps:
a. Select VTS1-> Offline and wait for messages indicating Offline initiated
successfully and Offline completed successfully. If an error message is
displayed, contact your service representative.
b. If a second VTS is installed, select VTS2->Offline and wait for messages
indicating Offline initiated successfully and Offline completed successfully.
c. When all VTS units are offline, close the panel by selecting Cancel on the
Online/Offline panel.
5. Place the 3494 Tape Library in the Offline state using the Mode pull-down.
6. From the Commands pull-down, select Inventory and then select
Re-inventory complete system. When the inventory operation is complete,
return the tape library to the Online state using the Mode pull-down.
Note: Be sure to select Yes on the Save Logical Volumes Window (see
Figure 101 on page 171) when asked if you want to save the VTS logical
volumes.
7. From the Service pull-down, place all Virtual Tape Servers Online using VTS
Subsystem Management and Online/Offline displays.
8. Select Operator menu from the Mode pull-down to display only operator action
bar items.
9. Attaching hosts may vary libraries online.
