Teaching the Library
(Configuration and
Calibration) 5
The Teach command enables you to update the library’s stored
configuration and calibration information. Use this command after you
replace a library component or whenever you need to assess the library’s
physical configuration (such as the number of modules and I/E stations,
the locations of storage magazines and drives, and the types of media
used in the library) or the position and alignment of library components.
You can configure the library to automatically perform the full teach
routine (configuration and calibration) whenever the library’s power is
cycled. For more information, see
Setting Up Policies for the Physical
Library on page 136.
Running Configuration Teach 5
Starting the configuration teach process causes the library to assess its
contents, gathering information as follows:
•Number of modules
•Types of media
• Storage magazine locations
• Number of I/E stations and magazine type
• Types of drives
• Drive locations
If you change the library’s physical configuration in any of these areas,
you should initiate the configuration teach process (for example, when
you add or remove storage, remove storage to add another component, or
add an expansion module).
1 Log on as an administrator.
2 Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View
menu, click the name of the physical library.
3 Click Tools→ Teach.
The library automatically performs an inventory
after it completes the configuration teach process.
