Resetting the library
If the library has encountered an error and is still not operating
after you have tried the corrective action for the error, you may
need to reset the library. A reset causes the library and the tape
drives to perform their power-on self tests. Unless configured
otherwise, tape drives will rewind the tape after a reset, but will
not eject the data cartridge.
Note: If the library is performing a cartridge move operation
when it is reset, it completes the move operation before it
performs the power-on self-test.
To reset the library, you can use one of the following methods:
Press
>5HVHW@
on the operator panel, then press
>(QWHU@
at the
confirmation screen (or press
>(VFDSH@
to cancel).
Perform a power-on reset by powering the library off, then
back on.
Perform a remote hardware reset by plugging a cable into the
remote reset port on the back of the library and press a reset
button on the cable. (See Appendix A for more information.)
Note: The library, tape drives, or the entire SCSI bus can also be
automatically reset by the host.
When the library is reset, both the library and tape drives perform
power-on self-tests. Then the Main Screen appears on the LCD.
CAUTION
Before resetting the library, make sure the library
or tape drives are not communicating across the
SCSI bus. Resetting the library and tape drives
may disrupt communications on the SCSI bus.
