46 Operation

Online and Offline Modes

Your library can operate in an online or offline mode. Typically, the library is in the online mode. When you

access the Command, Setup, or Tools menus from the operator panel, a message notifies you that the

library will go to offline mode and you must verify that you want the library to operate in offline mode before

proceeding. When the library is offline, the SCSI host has limited access to the library. The host can retrieve

information from the library but cannot execute any new commands that change the state of the library, such

as writing data or moving media. Commands in progress will be completed before the library goes offline.

Entering the Main menu automatically returns the library to the online mode. All status information is

available in offline mode.

Inserting and Removing Media

Your Scalar 24 has been designed to make media insertion a simple and accurate process. There are three

ways to insert and remove media from the Scalar 24:

• Remove the magazines and load it with tapes.

• Load the magazines with tapes and use the Bulk Load feature in the Command menu. For more

information, see Bulk Load

on page 103. To remove media, you can unload the tapes from the rear

slots to the magazines by using the Bulk Unload feature in the Command menu. For more

information, see Bulk Unload

on page 104.

•Use the Import/Export features in the Command menu to load tapes from the I/E slot. For more

information, see Import Media

on page 93 and Export Media on page 97.

The magazines and rear storage slots are designed to prevent the cartridges from being inserted incorrectly.

The magazines and rear storage slots also include cartridge locks that prevent media from falling out of the

slots when the magazines are inverted or the library is transported. To remove the tapes from the rear slots

and the magazine, lift up on the green lever to release the locking mechanism.

The rear storage slots contain sensors that detect the presence of cartridges and automatically update

library inventory when cartridges are inserted or removed. Sensors also detect the presence/absence of the

magazines and the inventory is updated when the magazines are inserted or removed.

A tape drive is reading data from a cartridge.

A tape drive is writing data to a cartridge.

A tape drive is erasing data from a cartridge.

A tape drive is locating data on a cartridge.

CAUTION

Do not manually insert/remove media to/from the rear slots. If you

choose to insert/remove media directly to/from the rear slots and the

picker is blocking the slots, use the Position Picker tool to move the

picker. Do not move the picker manually or you may damage it.

Note

Media barcode labels can be viewed through the magazine window.
