Use the System Shutdown screen to shut down or restart the
library.
- Shutdown - Shuts down the library's operating system and firmware. When
performing a shutdown, the library finishes all active commands received
from the host application and does not process any new commands. It
shuts down all
partitions.3
and lowers the robot to the "shipping" position on the floor of the library. To finish the shutdown, you must
access the physical library and press the power switch on the front of the
library.
Always perform a shutdown before removing power from the library. To completely
remove power from the library, you must turn off the power switch on each
power supply located at the back of the library. Power is completely removed
from the library when the blue LED on each power supply turns off.
caution.1
If you do not perform a shutdown before you physically
power off the library, loss of library configuration data could occur.
- 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.1 and restarts them during the reboot.
In addition, the library performs an inventory of cartridges, tape drives,
and slots during a reboot.
To shut down or restart the library:
- Do one of the following:
- Select Shutdown to shut down the library.
- Select Restart to restart the library.
- Select Apply. A reboot takes approximately 5 minutes for 5u.3
and longer for a larger configuration.
Note: If the "Not Initialized" message appears on the operator
panel after the reboot is complete, the library did not properly initialize.
View the All Open ras.2 screen to find the problem that is preventing
the library from properly initializing.
Note: At any time, select Cancel to exit the System
Shutdown screen.
