Powering off the library
CAUTION: Always perform the shutdown procedure before powering off the library. Shutdown
prepares the library operation system and firmware for when you physically turn off power to the
library. If you do not perform library shutdown before you power off the library, loss of data could
occur. See
“Shutting down/rebooting the library” (page 101) .
To power off the library:
1. After starting the shutdown process, wait for the LMC display to turn dark.
2. To turn off power to the library, press the Power button on the indicator panel.
3. On the power distribution units, set the circuit breaker switch to the down (O) position.
Powering on the library
To power on the library:
1. Make sure that you wait 5 minutes after powering off the library before you power it on.
CAUTION: Waiting 5 minutes is important because the power supply discharges for several
seconds after you power off the library. If you attempt to power on the library too soon, the
power supply will fault.
2. On the power distribution unit(s), set the circuit breaker switch to the up (I) position.
3. To turn on power to the library, press the Power button on the indicator panel.
The library begins to boot up. Within five minutes, the LMC display appears on the library
OCP. A library with only a few drives usually will be fully powered on and ready for use
within 10 minutes. However, if a library is large with a high number of drives, it can take
more than an hour for the library to fully power on, complete its discovery process, and become
ready for use. During the power-on process, the Robotics Enabled indicator flashes. When the
library is fully up and ready to receive commands, the Robotics Enabled indicator turns solid
green.
Locking/Unlocking the I/E station
The ESL G3 I/E stations have multiple open and close sensors. When you are finished accessing
the I/E station, make sure the station door is fully closed.
There are three reasons the I/E station door locks:
•
The library imports or exports a cartridge from the I/E station door. While the library is
attempting to import or export a tape from a given I/E station slot, only the associated I/E
station door is locked in the closed position. All other I/E station doors remain accessible. On
a Get command from an I/E station slot, the associated I/E station door remains locked until
the media has been successfully moved to its destination. This allows the media to be returned
to the I/E station slot in the event of a Put error.
•
A user has requested that the I/E station door be locked.
•
The application software has locked the I/E station as part of the normal tape movement
process.
