You cannot perform any of the following operations while either a
FullScan or a QuickScan that uses Global Spare drives is running in a
partition.
Import cartridges into or export cartridges from the library
Use the BlueScale user interface to move a cartridge from one
location to another
Use the Global Spare drive being used by PostScan to replace a
malfunctioning drive in the partition
Change the library configuration settings
Create or modify partitions
Update BlueScale software or the drive firmware
If you need to perform any of these operations or if you need to reset
the library, you can pause the PostScan process for one hour (see Pause
the PostScan Process on page 297). The library returns any cartridges
currently being scanned to their original locations. After an hour
passes, the library checks the prerequisites for starting PostScan (see
Prerequisites for Starting a PostScan Operation on page 290) and when
met, restarts the PostScan operation on the tape that was being verified
at the time of the interruption.
Additional MLM Features
In addition to the features described in the previous sections, MLM
provides the following features (listed in alphabetical order):
Broadcast Capacity The Broadcast Capacity option changes the capacity
displayed on the General Status screen to show broadcast-centric hours of
programming used and hours of programming remaining instead of raw
capacity (see Configure How Storage Capacity Displays on page 280).
Database Management Management tools let you manually delete one or
more tape records from the MLM database when the tape is retired or
permanently exported from the library. You can also download the MLM
database as a comma-separated-value (CSV) file and open the file in any
software application that supports this type of file (for example,
spreadsheet software).
