HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 200)

CAUTION:
As a result of restore, rescue, or revert operations, the library shuts down. You must have physical
access to the library to bring the library back up. If you are performing a restore, rescue, or revert
operation using remote access, the library will remain shut down until the library is directly powered
back on.
If you choose to reinstall the currently installed software package, the robotics control unit (RCU),
picker, and drive sleds are updated. Therefore, the library does not restart after the reinstallation
process completes. The reinstallation procedure should be run only under specific circumstances. For
more information, see
Rolling Back to the Previous Build Package .
NOTE:
Rollback and reinstallation of current package options are viable recovery steps during a failed
firmware upgrade. However, these features should not be used as troubleshooting tools.
