RESETTING A DRIVE
Overview You may occasionally need to reset a drive as part of a firmware
upgrade or for troubleshooting.
User Privilege Requirements Only a user with superuser or administrator
privileges can use the BlueScale software to reset a drive.
Perform the Reset
The following steps describe how to reset a drive using the Reset button on
the Drives screen.
1. Determine the BlueScale identifier for the drive you want to reset.
Note: Drives are identified according to their physical location in the
library. For example, DBA2/DRV4 refers to the upper right drive
in DBA2. See Drive Identifiers on page 57 for information about
identifiers.
2. Log into the library as a user with superuser or administrator
privileges.
3. Select Configuration > DLM (or Drives) to display the Drives screen.
4. Identify the drive that needs to be reset and click Reset. The library
power cycles the drive.
When the drive completes its POST and becomes ready, a status screen
displays, showing that the drive was reset.
Note: When the drive resets, the library posts system messages that the
drive disappeared and reappeared.
5. The drive is ready for use.
Drives can be reset using the Reset button on the Drives screen or using the Power
Drive On/Off utility. This utility should ONLY be run on a drive that is not assigned to
a partition. Do not use the advanced Power Drive on/off utility to reset a drive that
is assigned to a partition. Running this utility on a drive assigned to a partition
disables the host interface.
