Setting up a Mail Slot
Some of the available host software enables the system administrator to limit
access to the library as a whole while permitting insertion into or removal
from the library of one or more tape cartridges when needed. This feature is
commonly called a mail slot. It is implemented using SCSI Import/Export
elements.
In the MiniLibrary system, you can designate the magazine of any Base
Module as the mail slot magazine. When you do so, the entire magazine is
withdrawn from the list of storage elements. You can designate any number of
mail slots from one slot up to the full size of the magazine. To configure a
mail slot, use the following procedure.
1.
As shown in Figures 3-25 through 3-27 in the preceding procedure,
navigate from the Default Screen through the Main Menu to the
Configure Submenu.
2.
Scroll down on the Configure Submenu until you see ‘Set Mail Slot’,
