Shutting Down/Rebooting the Library

Always perform the shutdown process before you remove power from the library. Shutdown prepares
the library operation system and firmware for when you physically turn off power to the library.
Shutdown makes sure that the library finishes all active commands received from the host and prevents
the processing of any new commands. It also shuts down all partitions. Shutdown can only be
performed from the OCP.

Reboot shuts down and restarts the library operating system and firmware. When performing a reboot,
the library finishes all active commands received from the host application and does not process any
new commands. The library shuts down all partitions and restarts them during the reboot. In addition,
if automatic inventory is enabled, the library performs an inventory of cartridges, tape drives, and
slots during a reboot. Reboot can be performed from the OCP or a remote client LMC.

CAUTION:

Before shutting down or rebooting the library, make certain there is no I/O activity on any of the
partitions.

To shut down or reboot the library:

1.

Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View menu or in the Managed
Views region of the LMC, click the name of the physical library.

2.

Select Operations > System Shutdown.
The System Shutdown dialog box appears.
