client, a message appears that indicates that the LMC server is reconnecting to the client. After
it reconnects, the LMC server performs a discovery.
If the restore operation succeeds, a message appears that indicates that the operation
succeeded.
If the restore operation fails at any point, the library generates an event that contains details
about the failure. Perform a revert or rescue operation to return the library to a stable
configuration.
7. After the restore operation has completed on the library, close and restart the remote client.
8. If you have not done so already, make sure that the robotics are enabled and bring the library
back online so that data input and output can continue.
Rescuing library configuration
Use the Rescue command to restore a library using the configuration rescue image that is saved
locally on the library file system.
CAUTION: Be cautious if you plan to use a saved library configuration image that is out of date.
You might restore configuration information that you do not want, such as former passwords,
partitions, mappings, and hardware configurations.
If library configuration has occurred since the last time the image was saved, those changes will
be lost when the older configuration is restored. The restore operation will succeed, but you will
then need to reconfigure the library, including the partitions and mappings. Therefore, it is important
to save the local rescue and/or remote restore image periodically, especially following hardware
configuration changes.
To rescue library configuration:
1. Log on as an administrator from the remote client. The Restore command is not available from
the library OCP.
2. Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View menu or in the Managed
Views region of the LMC, click the name of the physical library.
3. Click Tools
→Save/Restore.
The Save and Restore Library Configuration dialog box appears.
4. Click Rescue.
NOTE: If the library is not offline, you receive a message that asks you whether you want
to take it offline. Click Yes.
5. At the prompt, make sure that all data input and output has stopped. Click Yes to continue.
When the system determines that it can reconfigure the library using the saved image, a
message dialog box appears that informs you that the library will reboot itself. The reset could
take minutes to complete. If you are near the library and can see the library OCP, normal
behavior is when two working messages appear and the OCP goes dark when the LMC
