10 Add the tape cartridges to the library’s modules using the I/E station
commands from the operator panel or Web client.
11 Open the host application and reinventory in order to synchronize its
logical inventory with the physical inventory of the library. Due to
the way the library logically addresses its tape drives and slots
internally, adding an expansion module will change the element
addresses, and this can affect proper communication to a controlling
host. See Understanding Logical Element Addressing
on page 35.
Because of this, you must refresh the configuration of any backup
application that manages the library to reflect the adjusted positions.
In addition, you may need to reboot the host server(s) or rescan the
bus to detect the changes.
Preparing to Remove or Replace a Module
Follow the instructions in this section before performing any of the
following procedures:
• Permanently Removing Expansion Modules From an Existing
Library on page 370
• Replacing the Control Module
on page 382
• Replacing an Expansion Module
on page 394
Caution: If a control module is replaced, all library configuration
data will be invalidated and requires a new library
configuration. Follow the instructions below to completely
export all tape cartridges and completely delete all logical
partition configuration and cleaning slot assignments.
Caution:
If an expansion module is removed or replaced, you must
follow the steps below to modify or delete all the affected
partitions before removing the module. Recreate the
partitions after the removal or replacement is complete.
