42 Operation

Online and Offline Modes

Your library can operate in an online or offline mode. Typically, the library is in the online mode. When you

access the Command, Setup, or Tools menus from the operator panel, a message notifies you that the

library is going to offline mode and you must verify that you want the library to operate in offline mode before

proceeding. When the library is offline, the SCSI host has limited access to the library. The host can retrieve

information from the library but cannot execute any new commands that change the state of the library, such

as writing data or moving media. Commands in progress are completed before the library goes offline.

Taking the library offline does not interrupt data streaming to or from the drive, although an offline drive

cannot span tapes because the library cannot serve commands from the host or drives. All status

information is available in offline mode. Entering the Main menu automatically returns the library to the

online mode.

Inserting and Removing Media

Your Scalar 24 has been designed to make media insertion a simple and accurate process. There are three

ways to insert and remove media from the Scalar 24:

• Remove the magazines and load it with tapes.

• Load the magazines with tapes and use the Bulk Load feature in the Command menu. For more

information, refer to Bulk Load

on page 102. To remove media, you can unload the tapes from the

rear slots to the magazines by using the Bulk Unload feature in the Command menu. For more

information, refer to Bulk Unload

on page 103.

•Use the Import/Export features in the Command menu to load tapes from the I/E slot. For more

information, refer to Import Media

on page 92 and Export Media on page 96.

CAUTION

• Do not manually insert or remove media to or from the rear

slots. If you choose to do so, and the picker is blocking the

slots, use the Position Picker command to move the picker. Do

not move the picker manually or you may damage it.

• Do not directly insert media into the picker. If media is inserted

into the picker incorrectly, it may damage the picker.
