O
PTION
Note: The autoloader option does not apply to tape library emulation modes. It
is only available for disk autoloader or tape autoloader configurations.
The following table describes RDX QuikStation behavior when this option is
turned off and when it’s turned on.
In cases where you do not want the cartridge to physically eject from the dock,
you can set the option to have cartridges continuously rotate through the slots.
This option eliminates the need to re-insert the cartridges into the RDX docks.
Table 5-5 Inquiry String settings
Inquiry String setting
Behavior
Original device
inquiry string (Default) The virtual tape library reports the device’s original
inquiry string. This is the inquiry string that a physical
version of the tape library reports. For example, the
device inquiry string for a Tandberg Data
StorageLibrary T24 is Magnum 224 (derived from the
library’s former name).
RDX QuikStation
inquiry string The virtual tape library reports “RDX QuikStation” as
the device inquiry string. This option is mainly used
for diagnostic purposes.

cartridges in the slots
Behavior
Off (Default) Physically ejects the cartridge from the RDX
dock when the virtual drive completes a
backup job. Once the cartridge is ejected, the
virtual autoloader loads media from the next
subsequent slot into the drive. It will load
cartridges from the slots sequentially and will
stop when it reaches the last slot, even if new
cartridges have been inserted.
On (checkbox is selected) Does not physically eject the cartridge from
the RDX dock when the virtual drive
completes a backup job. Instead, the
cartridges continuously rotate sequentially
through the slots.
