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.)
1From the SNSM home page, choose Library > Config Library from
the Admin menu. The Configure Library screen (figure126 on
page1 83) appears.
2Click Rescan to begin the rescan process.
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.
