Reset Library

Topics | How To |

Overview

You can use the Reset command when you wish to unmount all the media mounted in the drives, and reset all the drives so that they are ready for use. The reset library option is especially useful when you have stuck tapes in the drives. Note however, that the reset library operation is library dependant and hence not the same for all the library models.

Reset library causes the system to perform the following operations:

• The library status is marked as offline
• Within the library, all the media mounted in its drives are unmounted
• In some situations an inventory process may be triggered, and once the inventory process is completed, the library status is marked back as online.

Reset library operation will fail if there are jobs running on this library.
