Chapter 3
Initializing and Resetting the Library
Powering on the library causes it to initialize components and perform an
Initial Program Load (IPL). During initialization, the library prepares the robot
for operation and audits any cartridges in the storage and reserved cells.
During an IPL, the library loads the operating code and automatically verifies
some configuration values, such as drive locations and drive types.
Re-initializing the Library
You will have to re-initialize the library in the rare instance when a robotic
component malfunctions. Before re-initializing the library, perform any
necessary manual operation tasks (see Manual Operation on page 121).
To re-initialize the library, make sure that all drives are powered on and
perform one of these actions:
■ Power off and power on the library (also causes an IPL)
■ Open and close the front door
Resetting the Library
You will have to reset the library when:
■ You are directed to do so by your system administrator or a service
representative
■ You have to change the library configuration (for example, when you have
to change the library’s SCSI ID)
To reset the library after it is already powered on, make sure that all the drives
are powered on and press the [RESET] button on the operator panel.
