Shutting Down/Rebooting the Library
Always perform the shutdown process before you remove power from
the library. Shutdown prepares the library’s operation system and
firmware for when you physically turn off power to the library.
Shutdown makes sure that the library finishes all active commands
received from the host and prevents the processing of any new
commands. It also shuts down all partitions.
Reboot shuts down and restarts the library’s operating system and
firmware. When performing a reboot, the library finishes all active
commands received from the host application and does not process any
new commands. The library shuts down all partitions and restarts them
during the reboot. In addition, if automatic inventory is enabled, the
library performs an inventory of cartridges, tape drives, and slots during
a reboot. For more information on automatic inventory, see
Setting Up
Policies for the Physical Library on page 180.
