Other information
Known Firmware Issues:
None.
Device Notes:
Please note the following device idiosyncracies.
1. This autoloader requires at least one tape cartridge installed in the
autoloader to come ONLINE within NetVault. NetVault will not be able
to bring this autoloader ONLINE with no tapes installed.
2. Do not use the front LCD panel of the autoloader to move, load or
unload tapes while NetVault has the device ONLINE. Such operations
can cause errors with NetVault. If NetVault is ONLINE, use NetVault
to move, load and unload tapes. To eject the magazine from the
autoloader, first select “Open Door” in NetVault and then use the Eject
Magazine button on the front of the autoloader.
3. When using a cleaning cartridge, you must configure a CLEANING
SLOT first in NetVault. Then install the cleaning cartridge in the pre-
defined CLEANING SLOT.
4. The autoloader and tape drive have the same exact INQUIRY and
firmware revision.
Cleaning Tape Support:
NetVault 6.5.3
– Supported.
Type
: Standard Cleaning Method for Seagate DAT72.
Cleaning cartridges must be placed in pre-defined Cleaning Slots
only. NetVault will auto-discover unexpected cleaning tape
cartridges however such operation will result in the cleaning
cartridge being unusable. The remedy for this condition is to
configure the slot with the cleaning cartridge installed as a
CLEANING SLOT by modifying the library in NetVault.
Emulation Mode:
None.
