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.

1. Select a drive from the Drives table or Cell Map (shift-click and ctrl-click to select multiple drives).
2. From the Actions drop-down (or right-click menu), select Go Online or Go Offline.
