HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 183)

When defragmenting is complete, a dialog box appears prompting you to take all partitions
online.
7. Click Yes to take all partitions online.
8. Click Close to close the Partitions Defragmentation dialog box.
Canceling Defragmentation
Depending on the size of the library, defragmenting partitions can be a time-consuming process. If
needed, you can click Close on the Partitions Defragmentation dialog box to cancel the defragmentation
operation at any time. When prompted, click Yes to confirm the action.
After you cancel defragmentation, the library finishes moving the current magazine (and any media
it contains), then defragmentation stops. If you cancel defragmentation, no tapes will be stranded,
and all media will still be assigned to the correct partition. You can resume defragmentation at a later
time by clicking Start on the Partitions Defragmentation dialog box.
Recovering After Defragmentation is Interrupted
If a defragmentation operation fails (for example, if a power interruption occurs or the robotics go
offline), no tapes will be stranded, and all media will still be assigned to the correct partition.
However, it is possible that some media which was in the process of being moved will remain in the
I/E station. In this case, simply import the media into the library. The media will automatically be
moved to a magazine in the correct partition. For more information about importing media, see
Importing Cartridges Into Partitions .
Cycling Library Power
If library firmware seems to be at fault, or the robot will not move, or a circuit board has gone down,
try recycling power to the library. Cycling library power involves shutting down the library, powering
it off, and then powering it on. For more information, see
Shutting Down/Rebooting the Library .
Using Sift Sort
The Sift Sort Export functionality is to facilitate bulk movement of cartridges from their standard slot
locations to either a specific storage area within the library or to the load port elements I/E station
(the default setting will be the left upper storage area within the library). The default mode of operation
of the SSE will be to put or relocate cartridges in sort order within the library, based on slot # or other
logical grouping. This facilitates quickly locating similar cartridge IDs and easier visualization of
daily/weekly/monthly tapes (if a barcode nomenclature is implemented).
