Reverting Library Configuration 6
In the event that either a restore or rescue operation fails before
completion and the library becomes unstable, the Revert command
provides a way to roll back any library configuration changes that might
have occurred during the operation. The Revert command is unavailable
if no revert image is saved. On a new library, no revert image exists until
a restore or rescue operation is attempted for the first time.
1 Log on as an administrator from the remote client or from the
library’s touch screen.
2 Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View
menu, click the name of the physical library.
3 Click Tools > Save/Restore.
The Save and Restore Library Configuration dialog box appears.
4 Click Revert.
5 At the prompt, check whether all library data input and output has
stopped. To continue, click Yes.
When the system determines that it can reconfigure the library using
the saved image, a message dialog box appears that informs you that
the library will reboot itself. The reset 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.
As the MCB reboots, the I/O blades, MCB, LMC server, and robotics
control unit (RCU) change to the configuration settings stored in the
rescue image. Each I/O blade is also reset.
When the LMC has restarted, reconnected, and completed its
discovery operation, a message appears that indicates that the library
has been restored to its previous configuration.
If the operation succeeds, a message appears that indicates that the
library has been restored to its previous configuration.
Note
If the library is not offline, you receive a message
that asks you whether you want to take it offline.
Click Yes.
