Replacing the Control Module
These instructions explain how to remove a control module and replace it
with a control module field replaceable unit (FRU). You may need to
replace the control module if its chassis is severely damaged. Typically,
however, only certain customer replaceable units (CRUs) or FRUs within
the control module need to be replaced.
There are some configuration settings to take into account when
replacing the control module.
• If you have applied one or more license keys to the original control
module, you will need to replace each license key and apply it to the
new control module. For more information, see
Adding or
Upgrading Licensable Features
on page 80.
• A partition with all resources in the removed module will be present
with no slots or drives. This partition can only be deleted.
The best practice before removing the control module is to:
• Using your I/E station, export all the tape cartridges from your
library.
• Delete all partitions.
• Delete all cleaning slots.
• Set the number of I/E station slots to six.
There are no restrictions on where the control module can be installed in
the library configuration. However, the recommended placement of the
control module for library configurations up to 32U is on top of all
installed expansion modules. The recommended placement of the control
module for 41U library configurations is on top of three expansion
modules and below the top expansion module.
