If the save rescue operation does not succeed, a message appears that describes the error that
occurred.
Restoring Library Configuration
Use the Restore command to restore a library using a configuration image that is saved on a remote
file system.
If library configuration has occurred since the last time the image was saved, those changes will be
lost when the older configuration is restored. The restore operation will succeed, but you will then
need to reconfigure the library, including the partitions and mappings. Therefore, it is important to
save the local rescue and/or remote restore image periodically, especially following hardware
configuration changes.
CAUTION:
Be cautious if you plan to use a saved library configuration image that is out of date. You might
restore configuration information that you do not want, such as former passwords, partitions, mappings,
and hardware configurations.
To restore library configuration:
1. Log on as an administrator from the remote client. The Restore command is not available from
the library OCP.
2. 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.
3. Click Tools > Save/Restore.
The Save and Restore Library Configuration dialog box appears.
4. Click Restore.
NOTE:
If the library is not offline, you receive a message that asks you whether you want to take it offline.
Click Yes.
5. Using the file chooser dialog box, locate the restore image file on the remote file system.
6. When you have located the file and are ready to proceed, click Open.
