Library Manager Action ± Library Manager Recovery Begins (MVS/BLTS Environment)

Single Library Manager Con®guration: For a single library manager con®guration, do the following:

1.Contact host operations and inform them what has occurred at the library manager.

2.If a BTLS ERA=70 Library Manager Equipment Check occurred, the library manager automatically attempts to restart itself.

The library manager should begin initial program load (IPL) in about 5 minutes and may take up to 20 minutes to complete and become active. If, after 5 minutes, there is no change in the System Status messages, or an ªError recovery in progressº message is not displayed, do a manual restart. Do not power off the library manager. Press the CTL+ALT+DEL key sequence to restart the library manager.

This procedure may need to be repeated. If the library manager fails to begin IPL in 5 minutes, after the second attempt to recover call your next level of support.

3.If the failure did not cause the Library Manager to automatically restart, perform the CTL+ALT+DEL key sequence to restart the library manager.
