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.
When image file compatibility has been established, the library
reboots itself and continues with restoring the configuration. The
reset operation could take minutes to complete. If you are near the
library and can see the library’s touch screen, normal behavior is
when two “working” messages appear and the touch screen goes
dark when the LMC server restarts. From the remote client, a
message appears that indicates that the LMC server is reconnecting to
the client. After it reconnects, the LMC server performs a discovery.
If the restore operation succeeds, a message appears that indicates
that the operation succeeded.
If the restore operation fails at any point, the library generates a RAS
ticket that contains details about the failure. Perform a revert or
rescue operation to return the library to a stable configuration.
7 After the restore operation has completed on the library, close and
restart the remote client.
Note
If the library is not offline, you receive a message
that asks you whether you want to take it offline.
Click Yes.
Note
Because the management control blade (MCB)
determines the name of the restore image file, you
might not know the file name when you are
searching for it on the remote file system. The file
name always includes the library serial number,
date stamp, and time stamp, in that order and
separated by underscores.
An example file name might look like this:
213100020_2004-02-18_13.23.47.tar.gz
The serial number encoded in the image file must
match the library serial number. A serial number
mismatch will result in an message and the
operation will not continue.
