Figure 27: Identity > Library page
You can see, but not modify, the following:
• Serial Number — the electronic serial number for the device. This electronic serial number will usually
match the serial number printed on the library label. The library label is printed on the pull-out tab under
the drive on the back of the library.
When the library is configured into multiple logical libraries, the serial number includes the serial number
on the device and the logical library number.
• Product ID — how the library identifies itself to the host computer.
• Currently Installed Library Firmware x.xx / y.yy
◦ x.xx is the version of the library controller firmware.
◦ y.yy is the version of the robotics firmware.
• Bootcode Firmware Revision
• Barcode Reader — version of barcode reader in the device.
• Library Mode
◦ Automatic — if the device receives media changer SCSI commands, it will switch from Sequential to
Random mode.
◦ Manual — the device will stay in the current mode until an administrator configures another mode.
◦ Random — the device will not automatically load and unload tapes. Instead, it will wait for commands
from the backup software or the OCP to load and unload tapes.
◦ Sequential — the library will automatically unload the tape in the drive when the host software sends an
unload command to the drive and then automatically load the tape from the next highest sequentially
numbered full slot.
◦ Loop — in Loop mode, the library will load the tape from the lowest numbered full slot after the tape
from the highest numbered full slot is unloaded. If Loop is not listed, the library will stop automatically
loading and unloading tapes after the tape from the last full slot is unloaded.
