It's not a problem. Just do it.
If you start moving tapes around (including tapes in the drives) remember
to inventory the library.
The same second you open the library all activity from the robot will stop
(StorageTek doesn't want the newspaper writing about someone getting hurt
or even killed inside their libraries)
I have inspectet our library often. I even have a flashlight next to the
library (have asked StorageTek to put a switch and some light inside the
library. Using 10 USD on that feature at the plant would be nice.
It's safe to open the library even when NBU is running, but the robot it
self will not work (because of safeguards in the library)
I never close the masterserver just to do some stuff inside our library,
but I try to do it when I don't have backups running.
Mosly what I do is pulling tapes out of the drives that for some reason
faild to do so. A few times we have bulk removed or added a lof of tapes
and that can be a lot faster then using the CAP
But we have had hardly any problems with our tapedrives. They a rock solid.
We run NBU 4.5 PF5 on Windows.
