HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 120)

CAUTION:
Waiting 5 minutes is important because the power supply discharges for several seconds after
you power off the library. If you attempt to power on the library too soon, the power supply will
fault.
2. On the power distribution unit(s), set the circuit breaker switch to the up (I) position.
3. To turn on power to the library, press the Power button on the indicator panel.
The library begins to boot up. Within five minutes, the LMC display appears on the library OCP.
A library with only a few drives usually will be fully powered on and ready for use within 10
minutes. However, if a library is large with a high number of drives, it can take more than an
hour for the library to fully power on, complete its discovery process, and become ready for use.
During the power-on process, the Robotics Enabled indicator flashes. When the library is fully up
and ready to receive commands, the Robotics Enabled indicator turns solid green.
Locking/Unlocking the I/E Station
The ESL G3 I/E stations have multiple open and close sensors. When you are finished accessing the
I/E station, make sure the station door is fully closed.
There are three reasons the I/E station door locks:
• The library imports or exports a cartridge from the I/E station door. While the library is attempting
to import or export a tape from a given I/E station slot, only the associated I/E station door is
locked in the closed position. All other I/E station doors remain accessible. On a Get command
from an I/E station slot, the associated I/E station door remains locked until the media has been
successfully moved to its destination. This allows the media to be returned to the I/E station slot in
the event of a Put error.
• A user has requested that the I/E station door be locked.
• The application software has locked the I/E station as part of the normal tape movement process.
Administrative users can lock or unlock the I/E station doors using an option from the Operations
menu.
To lock or unlock the I/E station:
1. From the View menu or in the Managed Views region of the LMC, click the name of the physical
library.
2. Click Operations > I/E Station.
NOTE:
The I/E Station # column lists the I/E station number for each door. All single door I/E stations
are numbered starting with 1 at the control module. All double door I/E stations are numbered
with a number and a letter, such as 2A and 2B, the module number (1-8), with A as the left I/E
station and B the right I/E station.
3. To change the state of the I/E station doors, do one of the following:
• To lock an I/E station door, in the appropriate Action column, click Lock.
• To unlock an I/E station door, in the appropriate Action column, click Unlock.
4. To return to the main console, click Close.
