Magazine
• Left Magazine

Updating tape cartridge inventory
The Perform Inventory option lets you update the inventory status of the autoloader. The autoloader will
analyze each slot and drive to determine if cartridges are present or not.
1. From the Home screen, press Previous or Next until the screen displays Operations. Press
Enter
to select.
2. Press Previous or Next until the screen displays Perform Inventory. Press Enter to select.
3. While the inventory is in progress, the screen will display Inventory in Progress.
The autoloader will now check the drive and each slot for the presence of a cartridge in order to update
the inventory information.
NOTE:
This command is only needed if the inventory in the autoloader is different than the inventory displayed
on the front panel, which would not happen under normal conditions.
Resetting the autoloader
This option resets the autoloader and the tape drive within the autoloader and forces a new cartridge
inventory, clearing any current error condition.
CAUTION:
This option interrupts any current backup or restore operation and will cause the operation to fail. It is
primarily used if the autoloader is in an error state.
To reset the autoloader:
1. From the Home screen, press Previous or Next until the screen displays Operations. Press
Enter
to select.
2. Press Previous or Next until the screen displays Reboot Autoloader. Press Enter to select.
Activating OBDR mode
HP One-Button Disaster Recovery is a standard feature on all HP StorageWorks DAT autoloaders and
tape drives. However, it can only be used with specific configurations and will only recover the server to
which the tape drive is directly connected.
To check whether your system (hardware, operating system and backup software) is OBDR-compatible,
please refer to our World Wide Web site www.hp.com/go/connect .
