Performing Library Diagnostics

Resetting a Tape Drive The Drive Reset operation power cycles the tape drive while the tape
drive remains in the drive sled in the library. You may want to perform a
reset if a tape drive does not come ready or it is not behaving properly
(for example, if a tape is stuck in the drive and will not unload).
The reset may take several minutes. After the reset operation completes,
the tape drive is rebooted and reconfigured. This takes about 60
seconds. Wait 60 seconds before performing further drive operations.
You may perform a tape drive reset from either the operator panel or
the Web client. If you use the Web client, you must enter Diagnostics,
which logs out all users of the same or lower privilege level (see
Performing Library Diagnostics on page 259).
Operator Panel
1 Select Actions > Tape Drive > Reset.
2 Select the tape drive you want to reset and push Reset.
Once the operation completes, the operator panel displays a
message stating that the operation completed, and there will be
diagnostic tickets if it failed.
3 Press OK.
4 Check to see if the library generated diagnostic tickets.
Web Client
1 Enter Diagnostics (Tools > Diagnostics, then click OK to take
partitions offline and log out all other users of the same or lower
privileges).
2 Select Drives > Drive Tests > Drive Reset.
3 If the tape drives are assigned to more than one partition, select the
partition in which the tape drive(s) you want to reset are located.
Select Unassigned if the tape drive(s) you want to reset are not
assigned to a partition. Click Next.
4 Select the tape drive(s) you want to reset.
5 Click Apply.
6 The test runs. When complete, a “success” or “failure” message
appears.
