Chapter 7 Managing Libraries
Changing the Library State
Changing the Library State
This function allows you to change a library’s logical state to online or offline. Logical state means the library could be online, but StorNext treats it as offline.
To physically take a SCSI library offline, use the library’s front panel. To take a network library physically offline, use the library's controller software.
1From the SNSM home page, choose Library > Library State from the Admin menu. The Change Library State screen appears.
Figure 129 Change Library

3Select the new state for the library you selected.
4Click Apply to change the library’s state.
5When the Status screen informs you that the library state was successfully changed, click OK.
6If desired, repeat steps 2 - 5 to change the state for additional libraries.
