StorNext User’s Guide 181
Changing the Library State
This function allows you to change a library’s logical state to online or
offline. Logical state means the library could be online, but StorNext treats
it as offline.
To physically take a SCSI library offline, use the library’s front panel. To
take a network library physically offline, use the library's controller
software.
1 From the SNSM home page, choose Library > Library State from the
Admin menu. The Change Library State screen appears.

successfully changed, click OK.
6 If desired, repeat steps 2 - 5 to change the state for additional
libraries.
