Solution 1330987.1 : SL3000 - Must Use "config check" not Power Cycling to Reconfigure Walls and Upgrades

Applies to:

Sun StorageTek SL3000 Modular Library System - Version: Not Applicable and later [Release: N/A and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Must Use "config check" not Power Cycling - When adding features or during initial installation of the SL3000 it may be necessary to force the machine to reconfigure all the walls and upgrades.

Solution

In the past with older code you needed to use the "power off, open door, closed door, power on" sequence to force a reconfiguration. In FRS-2.35 code the CLI "config check" command with a reboot could be used to force the reconfiguration. In FRS-3.0 code the power cycle option no longer works and you must use the CLI "config check" command to cause a reconfiguration.

NOTE: Due to the way some data is kept in cache before it is written to non-volatile memory, do not power cycle the SL3000 after entering the "config check" command. Instead, use the CLI or the SLConsole to reboot the subsystem. If you try a reset with a power cycle, the reconfiguration may not occur as the config check that was entered may not have time to be written to the database.
