Chapter 4 Running Your Library
Shutting Down or Restarting the Library
Scalar i500 User’s Guide

To turn the library back on, turn on the power switch on each power
supply, press the front power switch again, and then follow the login
procedure.
Restart
shuts down and restarts the library’s operating system and
firmware. When performing a restart, the library finishes all active
commands received from the host application and does not process any
new commands. The library shuts down all partitions and restarts them
during the reboot. In addition, the library performs an inventory of
cartridges, tape drives, and slots during a reboot. Restarting takes
approximately 5 minutes for the control module and longer for the 14U
and 23U library configurations.
If the “Not Initialized” message appears on the operator panel after the
restart process is complete, the library did not properly initialize. View
the
All RAS Tickets
screen to find the problem that is preventing the
library from properly initializing. See
Viewing RAS Tickets
on page 324
.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the web client, select
Operations > System Shutdown
.
• From the operator panel, select
Operations > Shutdown
.
Caution:
If you do not perform a shutdown before you physically
power off the library, loss of library configuration data
could occur.
Note:
The Restart operation should not be performed concurrently
by multiple administrative users. You can access the screen,
but you cannot apply changes while another administrative
user is performing the same operation.
