Is it possible to shutdown the SL150 Tape Library cleanly?

How to power off SL150 library.
 

Solution

The following documents should help.
The latest SL150 Documents are found here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35103_06/index.html
The users guide is located here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35103_06/en/E24606/html/toc.htm

To cleanly power the Library Off, do one of the following:

1.If you have physical access to the library, press the power switch on the upper left quadrant of the front panel of the base module.
2.If you are working remotely, log in to the browser-based user interface under the Operator, Service, or Administrator role, click on the power-button icon in the top left corner of the interface.
3.Select Power Down Library from the context menu (remote interface) or popup dialog (local operator panel interface).
A Power Down Library confirmation dialog appears.

The SL150 features are documented in the SL150 Users guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35103_06/en/E24606/html/toc.htm

The SL150 is capable of automatically coming up after a power outage if this was not cleanly powered down.

Restarting the Library Following a Power Outage:

The SL150 Modular Tape Library System is designed to recover automatically if power is interrupted.  If someone inadvertently unplugs the power cord or throws a circuit breaker at the wall panel or if building power is lost altogether, the library returns to its last power state once line power is restored.  If the library was ON before the outage, it will be ON afterward.  If OFF, it will be OFF afterwards.
If the library was powered ON at the time of the outage, the library will boot up normally as soon as power is once more available.  But, if the library was powered OFF when the outage occurred, the library does not automatically restart.  When power is restored, the library powers up and runs just long enough to check its previous power state.  Since it was OFF at the time of the outage, it powers itself OFF after a few seconds.
Restarting a library that was off prior to a power interruption is thus exactly like restarting any other library that is off.  See "Power the Library On" on page 7-2.
