Changing the Library’s State

• 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
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.

physical library or partitions to be either online or offline.
