Offline Main Menu Operation
When the drive is Offline, the main menus shown on Figure 6-4 on page 6-7
are active. With Offline selected, press Menu (one or more times) to advance to
the Change Configuration (Chng CFG ?) Main Menu, where you will have
two choices:
•Press Select (Yes) to enter change configuration submenus which
display options to change drive configuration settings.
•Press Menu (No) to bypass, and advance to the next main menu.
Note: Fibre Channel interface drives provide for Port A and B Enable/Disable
selection before the Change Configuration Main Menu appears.
The Change Configuration submenus allow you to change drive configuration
settings. Options vary, depending on the type of channel interface in the drive.
The Drive Operations (Drv Menu ?) menu allows you to perform:
•Initial Program Load (IPL) from a tape (loads new firmware code into
the drive EEPROM from a code tape)
•Create a dump tape (format a tape cartridge to receive dump data)
•Create a code tape (copy firmware from drive EEPROM onto a tape)
•Create a data tape (format a tape cartridge to receive data)
•Rebuild Media Information Region (MIR)
•Run diagnostic routines.
Note: See the drive operations menu tree (Figure 6-10 on page 6-34) for
additional information.
Press Select (Yes) to enter submenus, or Menu (No) to bypass, and advance to
the next main menu.
The view-only Firmware Level and CSL Firmware Level Main Menus function
the same as they did for Online Main Menu Operation.
The Main Exit Menu, like it did for Online Main Menu Operation, provides a
choice to exit the menu system or loop-back to the Online/Offline Main Menu.
