ChangeComponentState
Component state changes allow for timely maintenance and
diagnostics of a library component. When a library component
is taken from the online (ON) state to the offline state
(OFF), it is not available for usual FileServ operations. After
the specialized operations are performed, the component must
be returned to the online status.
The fschstate command allows the user to report or to
change the state of a drive component or storage subsystem.
The fschstate command can be executed when FileServis
active or nonactive. Only storage subsystems can be changed if
FileServ or VolServ is inactive.
Drive component changes require both FileServ and VolServto
be active. Valid states are:
