50 Performing Basic Tasks and Operations
Changing Physical Library Modes
You must take a physical library offline in these situations:
• Before removing and replacing a drive in the library.
• Before performing maintenance on the library.
Use this procedure to change the library mode for a physical library.
1 From the menu bar, select Operations→ Library Management→ Physical→ Library Mode.
The Operations - Physical Library Mode screen appears and lists the physical libraries attached to
the Pathlight VX. For each library, the serial number, library type and current mode (online or offline)
are listed.
2 Select the physical library or libraries for which you want to change the mode and click Apply.
A dialog box prompts you to confirm the library mode change for the selected libraries.
3 Click OK to confirm the library mode change.
The Progress Window appears, which contains information on the status of the library mode change.
• If Success appears in the Progress Window: The library mode was changed for the selected
physical library or libraries.
• If Failure appears in the Progress Window: The library mode was NOT changed. To view the
troubleshooting procedures, click View Recommended Actions. To view the error details, click
Error Log for information on why the library mode was not changed. To change the library mode
of a physical library, repeat Step 1
through Step 3.
4 Click Close to close the Progress Window.
Renaming a Physical Library
Pathlight VX applies a default naming convention to physical libraries when they are created, naming them
lib1, lib2, and so on. Use this procedure if you want to rename a physical library.
1 From the menu bar, select Operations→ Library Management→ Physical→ Rename Library.
The Operations - Rename Physical Library screen appears. All physical libraries attached to the
Pathlight VX are listed along with their serial numbers.
2 Select the physical library you want to rename and click Next.
The Rename Physical Library - Physical Library screen appears where Physical Library is the name
of the selected library.
Note
Once the Progress Window appears, you cannot cancel or stop this
action. However, you can close the window by clicking the X in the upper-
right of the screen, but confirmation of success or failure is not shown.
