Online repair is a feature that allows:
• Authorized service representatives to replace a faulty drive while the
library is active.
• Users to clear a drive cleaning error when the tape in the drive may be
damaged.
Under normal conditions, this option should only be used by an HP qualified
authorized service representative. However if an older, frequently-used tape
causes a drive cleaning message to be displayed more than once and the
administrator suspect the tape is damaged, the Online Repair option can be
used to clear the drive error message so the administrator can attempt to
recover data from the damaged tape.
CAUTION The library drive mechanism(s) are inactive while this option is in use.
