Opening and closing library door

Before opening a library door, you must issue the Open Door command from the WebUI. NetVault Backup puts a software lock on the library door to prevent anyone from opening the door without issuing the Open Door command. If you do not issue this command, NetVault Backup does not know when tapes are added, removed, or rearranged, and it may attempt to load non-existent media.

To open a library door from WebUI:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the library. Click Open Door.
The library goes offline when you open the door.
3
To bring it back online, click the library and click Close Door.

Opening and closing entry/exit ports

To open or close entry/exit ports, follow these steps:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the applicable library.
3
Click Open Entry/Exit.
4
To close the port after placing the media, click Entry/Exit Closed. If you have placed a cleaning media item in the port, click Entry/Exit Closed with Cleaning Media to move the media item to a cleaning slot in the library.
5
To bring it back online, click Close Door.

Exporting tapes to entry/exit ports

To export a tape to an entry/exit port:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the applicable slot.
3
Click Export.

Restarting ACSLS or NDMP libraries

If an ACSLS or NDMP library encounters a network problem, use the following procedure to restart the library. The Restart method restarts the network and socket connections by removing them and adding the library again.

To restart an ACSLS or NDMP library:

In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the library. Click Restart Library.
