StorageLibrary T40+ Series Installation and User Guide 67
Manual Clean
Both the front panel and the remote management interface provide menu and command selections to
perform manual drive cleaning operations. Manual drive cleaning operations allow the selection of a
drive to be cleaned, regardless of the drive has requested cleaning or not. The library will
automatically scan through the cleaning slots, if any, and select the most used cleaning cartridge. If
there are no cleaning slots, or if there are no cartridges in these slots, the library will scan the I/E
station for a cleaning cartridge.
When the cleaning has completed, the cleaning cartridge is moved back to its source location.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are:
• From the RMI, select Operations > Clean Drive
• From the FPI, select Menu > Operations > Clean Drive
Taking a Library Online/Offline
Taking a library online makes it accessible to host applications via the Storage Area Network (SAN).
Taking a library offline makes it inaccessible to host applications via the SAN.
Taking a Library Online
1. Using the library’s front panel or the remote management interface, select Operations >
Partition Mode.
4. For each partition that you want to take online, click Online.
5. Click Apply.
Taking a Library Offline
1. Using the library’s front panel or the remote management interface, select Operations >
Partition Mode.
6. For each partition that you want to take offline, click Offline.
7. Click Apply.
Magazine Handling
The operator is allowed to eject any or all of the magazines in the library through the FPI. This feature
is not implemented in the RMI because there is no means to re-insert the magazine remotely.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are:
• From the FPI only, select Menu > Operations > Eject Magazines
As long as at least one magazine is present in the library, the library continues to operate normally.
Using the Mail Slot
There is no hard stop on the import/export slot.
When the system is configured for 3 I/E-slots please observe the following procedure:
• Open the lower left magazine until the three first magazine slots are accessible.
Stop pulling the magazine at the stop line indicated on the mail slot label. By exceeding the stop
line, the library cannot distinguish whether the whole magazine has been exposed or only the
three first I/E slots. Thus when you re-insert the magazine the library will need to take an inventory
check on all 12 slots instead of only the I/E slots.
