RESETTING THE LIBRARY

Powering the library off and back on to reset the tape drive(s) cause the tape
drive to perform a power-on self-test and to rewind a loaded tape to the
beginning.

If you need to power the library off, first unload the cartridge from
the tape drive(s), if possible. If you power the library off and back
on while a cartridge is in a tape drive, the tape drive may have to
perform a lengthy format recovery process.
If a cartridge is loaded in a tape drive when the library is powered
off and back on, the tape drive rewinds the tape but does not eject
the cartridge. Make sure that it is safe to overwrite the tape before
performing a backup so that you don’t lose previously recorded
data. If necessary, unload the cartridge as described on page 131.
Before resetting, make sure that the library or tape drive is not
communicating across the bus. The reset may disrupt
communications on the bus.
