Chapter 5: Performing Library Operations
Unlocking the I/E Station
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 113
Caution: These methods are not recommended except in case of
emergency where it is vital that library operations be
stopped immediately. If you do not first perform a
shutdown as described in the sections above, the following
could occur:
– The library may not complete closing all data and log
files.
– If you turn off power or unplug the power cord while
writing to tape, the data on the tape could become
corrupted.
– If you unplug the power cord, the robot may become
frozen in the middle of an operation and unable to move
once library power is restored, possibly requiring a
service call.
Taking the Library
Offline
Some maintenance activities require that the entire library be taken
offline. To take the library offline, change the mode of all partitions from
online to offline. See Taking a Partition Online or Offline on page 59 for
instructions.
Unlocking the I/E Station
The I/E station is locked during normal library operation. To access the I/
E station you must first unlock it. Once unlocked, you have 30 seconds
to open the I/E station before it locks again.
Note: If you want to open more than one I/E station, such as when
importing multiple tape cartridges, unlock and open both I/E
stations before you close either of them. Otherwise, if you
open and close one at a time, you must wait for the robot to
complete inventory on the one being closed before it can open
the other one.
