Library Configuration 5
The library’s save and restore capabilities enable you to save a remote or
local copy of configuration settings for the library’s drives, I/O blades,
and partitions, including the allocation of drives, storage magazines, and
I/E station magazines to each partition. If the library’s current
configuration becomes lost or unstable, you can use the LMC to apply the
locally or remotely saved configuration image, which eliminates the need
to reconfigure the entire library to bring it back to its original state.
The Save and Restore Library Configuration dialog box enables you to:
• Save a library’s configuration settings as a remotely or locally stored
image
• Restore, revert, or rescue the library by applying a remotely or locally
stored image of a library’s configuration settings

As a result of restore, rescue, or revert operations,
the library shuts down. You must have physical
access to the library to bring the library back up.
If you are performing a restore, rescue, or revert
operation using remote access, the library will
remain shut down until the library is directly
powered back on.
