Description
Library Remains Offline After
Power-up Initialization
Library does not go online after power-up initialization. You
must select the Online option from the Menu screen on the
GUI touch screen. The default is Disabled.
Auto Power-Up
An Installed Drive After
Timeout
Enables a tape drive to be automatically powered up (after a
delay), after replacing a tape drive if you do not explicitly
power up the tape drive from the GUI touch screen. The
default is Enabled.
Unload Mode
Lets you determine whether a SCSI MOVE MEDIUM
command is interpreted as Implicit or Explicit. If Implicit, the
library unloads a tape drive before attempting to move a
cartridge from that tape drive. If Explicit, the host must issue a
SCSI UNLOAD command to a tape drive before each MOVE
MEDIUM command that removes a cartridge from that tape
drive. The default is Implicit.
Total Reserved Slots
Lets you remove from use a specified number of slots at the
rear of a magazine. Some host software imposes size limits
on library magazines for licensing purposes, and does not
operate with a library that exceeds the licensed size. The
default is 0.
Auto Clean Mode
Lets you enable an automatic tape drive cleaning cycle. To
use this option, you must have reserved a slot for a cleaning
cartridge using the Total Reserved Slots option. The default is
Disabled.
Drive and Slot Numbering
Lets you specify whether SCSI elements in the library
displays with either zero based or one based. Note that this
only affects the GUI touch screen, not the actual SCSI
element addresses. The default is Zero Based.
Library Mode
Lets you set the robotics operating mode to Random,
Sequential Drv0, Sequential Drv1, and Sequential Split for
the MSL5026/MSL5030. The MSL5052/MSL5060 is not
supported in sequential modes. The default is Random
(Sequential Mode Unavailable).
