Rescanning a Library
Whenever you add drive slots or media slots to your library, you should use the Rescan function to ensure that StorNext recognizes the new devices and can fully utilize them. (This function does not apply to vaults.)
Note: The rescan process disrupts any current activity because it places existing devices temporarily offline. Be sure to use the Rescan function after hours or during times of system inactivity when you are certain no StorNext operations will be disrupted.
1From the SNSM home page, choose Library > Config Library from the Admin menu. The Configure Library screen (figure 126 on page 183) appears.
2Click Rescan to begin the rescan process.
