If a partition is in use, the
Online/Offline
button is grayed out.
•
Set the button to
Online
to take either the physical library or a partition (depending on the current
view) to an online state, which is the normal operating condition. In this mode, the robotics are
enabled and all host commands are processed.
•
Set the button to
Offline
to take either the physical library or a partition (depending on the current
view) to an offline state. If only the physical library is taken offline, the library’s partitions will not
process robotics commands, even though they are online. If only a partition is taken offline, neither
the physical library nor the other partitions are affected.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
•
From the web client, select
Operations > Partitions > Change Mode
.
•
From the operator panel, select
Operations > Partition Mode
.
Configuring Cleaning Slots
Cleaning slots are used to store cleaning cartridges that are used to clean tape drives. The
Setup Wizard:
Cleaning Slot Configuration
screens prompt you to enter the number of cleaning slots (if any) you want
to designate for your library. You can also access the
Cleaning Slot Configuration
screens directly on the
operator panel and web client.
The
Setup Wizard
default configuration settings include zero dedicated cleaning slots. Configuring at least
one cleaning slot enables the library’s AutoClean feature. When AutoClean is enabled, the library allows
you to import and export cleaning cartridges. When a tape drive needs cleaning, it notifies the library. If
AutoClean is enabled, the library automatically cleans the tape drive using a cleaning cartridge loaded in a
cleaning slot.
Cleaning slots are not assigned to specific partitions. They are shared by all partitions within a library. Each
partition can access cleaning cartridges located in the dedicated cleaning slots.
The maximum number of cleaning slots that can be configured is equal to the number of unassigned slots,
up to a maximum of four. For example, if only two slots are available in the library, the maximum number of
cleaning slots is two. To disable AutoClean, configure zero cleaning slots.
If the library has been previously configured, the number of cleaning slots that are currently configured
appears on the screen. If you decrease the number of cleaning slots from what was previously configured,
the extra slots become available for use.
Administrative users can configure cleaning slots during the initial library configuration and at any time after
that, as long as unassigned slots are available. If no slots are available in the library, you must modify or
delete a partition to free up slots. For more information see
Modifying Partitions
on page 36 and
Deleting
Partitions
on page 37.
Note
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.
Note
When changing the partition mode from online to offline, all host application
commands in progress at the start of the mode change are completed.
Note
If you configure zero I/E station slots, you will not be able to import or export
cleaning cartridges. You will need to bulkload these cartridges. See
Configuring
I/E Station Slots
on page 40 and
Bulkloading
on page 59.
