Set a Drive Online or Offline
Take a drive offline when servicing the drive or updating the drive firmware.
The library will not mount a tape to an offline drive. If you take a mounted drive
offline, the drive's state switches to "going offline" and then to "offline" once the
tape dismounts.
- Select a drive from the Drives table or Cell Map (shift-click and ctrl-click to select multiple drives).
- From the Actions drop-down (or right-click menu), select Go Online or Go Offline.
