Local fail-over to secondary master initiation

The fail-over operation should be initiated when it is determined that the primary master module is in a hard fault condition.

1.From the secondary master touch screen, select Menu.

2.Select Maintenance. The Secondary Master Maintenance screen will appear.

Figure 87. Secondary Master Maintenance screen

3.Select Fail-Over to Secondary Master.

The library will transfer control of the cartridge elevator to itself, power down the primary master, then reboot.

Remote fail-over to secondary master initiation

To configure the secondary master for remote fail-over, complete the following procedure:

1.If the library is connected to a network, use a Web browser to connect to the library’s fail-over URL, which uses the same IP address of the library’s Web TLC, but uses port 8008. For example, if the Web TLC address is 10.1.15.77, the fail-over URL will be http://10.1.15.77:8008.

2.Log in.

3.Select Fail-over to Standby Module.

4.Confirm that you want to fail-over to the standby module.

The secondary master will transfer control of the cartridge elevator to itself, power down the primary master, and then reboot.

Restoring normal operation

After the failed module is replaced, a procedure similar to the one described in the previous section can be invoked to restore the original operation. In order for the restore operation to take effect, the future master module must be connected as the inactive primary master.

Local fail-over to primary master

To configure the primary master for local fail-over, complete the following procedure:

1.From the secondary master touch screen, select Menu.

2.Select Maintenance.

3.Select Fail-over to Primary Master.

The secondary master will transfer control of the cartridge elevator back to the primary master and then reboot.
