A dialog box appears notifying you that partitions that do not have a free
I/E station slot cannot be defragmented and will be skipped.
5 Verify that the I/E station in each partition has at least one free slot,
and then click Yes.
A dialog box appears notifying you that all partitions must be taken offline
before defragmenting can begin.
6 Click Yes to take all partitions offline.
The partitions defragmentation operation starts. A progress bar at the top
of the Partitions Defragmentation dialog box displays the percentage
complete for the operation.
When defragmenting is complete, a dialog box appears prompting you to
take all partitions online.
7 Click Yes to take all partitions online.
8 Click Close to close the Partitions Defragmentation dialog box.
Canceling Defragmentation 5
Depending on the size of the library, defragmenting partitions can be a
time-consuming process. If needed, you can click Abort on the Partitions
Defragmentation dialog box to cancel the defragmentation operation at
any time. When prompted, click Yes to confirm the action.
After you cancel defragmentation, the library finishes moving the current
magazine (and any media it contains), then defragmentation stops. If you
cancel defragmentation, no tapes will be stranded, and all media will still
be assigned to the correct partition. You can resume defragmentation at a
later time by clicking Start on the Partitions Defragmentation dialog box.
Recovering After Defragmentation is Interrupted 5
If a defragmentation operation fails (for example, if a power interruption
occurs or the robotics go offline), no tapes will be stranded, and all media
will still be assigned to the correct partition. However, it is possible that
some media which was in the process of being moved will remain in the
I/E station.
