Rebooting components
CAUTION: Rebooting a component terminates any operations that the component might be
performing. To avoid loss of data, make sure that all backup jobs or other operations have
completed before attempting to reboot any component.
Rebooting a single component
NOTE: Depending on the library type, number of slots, tape cartridge locations, and whether
the tape cartridges have barcodes, rebooting a library can take 20 to 45 minutes. If you choose
to remotely reboot the library, allow sufficient time for the reboot to complete before attempting to
manage or configure the library. Components that can be rebooted as a single component are:
interface controllers, the interface manager, and tape drives.
To reboot a single component:
1. In the Library window, click the Operations tab.
2. In the left panel, select Reboot. The list of components appears in the right panel. If any
components need updating, Yes appears in the Reboot Required column.
3. In the right panel, select the component that you want to reboot, and then select
Actions→Reboot Selected Component.
4. Confirm that you want to reboot the component in the confirmation warning dialog.
Rebooting the Interface Manager and all controllers
To reboot the Interface Manager and all controllers:
1. In the Library window, click the Operations tab.
2. In the left panel, select Reboot. The list of components appears in the right panel. If any
components need updating, Yes appears in the Reboot Required column.
3. Select Actions→Reboot Interface Manager and All Controllers.
4. Confirm that you want to reboot all the components in the confirmation warning dialog.
Rebooting all components that require a reboot
To reboot all components that require a reboot (that is, all components that say Yes in the Reboot
Required column):
1. In the Library window, click the Operations tab.
2. In the left panel, select Reboot. The list of components appears in the right panel. If any
components need updating, Yes appears in the Reboot Required column.

enable the Actions menu.
4. Select Actions→Reboot All Required Components.

Moving tape cartridges
CAUTION: Whenever possible, move media using your backup application. The move media
functionality of Command View TL is provided as an alternate means of moving media if you
encounter a problem with your backup application or with the library. After using Command View
TL to move media, you must re-inventory the library from within your backup application so that
the library and backup application remain synchronized.
