The Options pull-down selections are as follows:
Clean desktop
Removes any visible or minimized window from the screen. See “Using the
Operator Menu” on page 98 for the screen now displayed. Also repositions
all windows to their home positions.
Change power-on language
Displays a list of supported languages, which are selectable. The current
language is indicated by a check mark. If a language is selected, the user
is requested to confirm the selection. The new language becomes active
when the library manager is shutdown and restarted.
Using Manual Mode
Manual mode can be used as follows:
v A problem in the 3494 prevents automated operations.
v The service representative is performing scheduled maintenance activities.
The library manager allows the selection of Manual mode from the Mode pull-down
of the Operator menu. (See “Manual Mode” in “Using the Mode Pull-Down” on
page 99.)
When in Manual mode, the operator follows the instructions on the library manager
display and confirms as necessary when the instructions are completed. Mount and
demount requests issued to the virtual drives in a Virtual Tape server continue to be
processed by the library automatically and are not included in the actions displayed
for operator processing. If, in order to satisfy a mount to a virtual drive, a logical
volume needs to be recalled from a physical volume, the resulting mount for that
physical volume is included in the actions to be performed under manual mode.
Typical actions include physical cartridge mounts, demounts, and ejects (removing
cartridges from the library). A sample screen with pending actions is shown in
Figure 143 on page 230.
The library manager recognizes when a requested physical cartridge is successfully
mounted in the requested drive and automatically removes the mount request from
the list. Instructions to eject a cartridge are manually removed from the list when
you use the keyboard to confirm (respond) that the action is completed or has an
error.
A limited number of processed instructions can be viewed on the library manager
display to correct any mistakes. See Figure 146 on page 236.
See “Cartridge Storage Cells” on page 24 for a description of the From and To
locations used to find a cartridge for a mount.
