Chapter 6 Running Your Library
Changing the Library’s State
Scalar i2000 User’s Guide 381
You can select the Online button to take either the physical library or a
partition, depending on the current view, to an online state, which is the
normal operating condition. In this mode, the robotics are enabled and all
host commands are processed.
You can select the Offline button to take either the physical library or a
partition, depending on the current view, to an offline state. If only the
physical library is taken offline, the library’s partitions will not process
robotics commands, even though they are online. If only a partition is
taken offline, neither the physical library nor the other partitions are
affected.
3 Select either Online or Offline, and then click OK.
4 If you selected Offline, a message appears that asks you whether you
want to continue. If you are sure that all backup applications are not
using the library, click Yes.
Online and Offline Functionality 6
Some library functions require the physical library or partitions to be in a
particular state (either online or offline) before they can be performed. If
you choose a function that requires the library or partition state to be
changed from its current state, you are prompted to do so.
Table 33 on page 382 summarizes the library functions that require the
physical library or partitions to be either online or offline.
