In
Random
mode, you (or the backup software) can specify which
cartridge you want to use and where you want it to go. You will probably
use this mode the most.
The
Sequential
mode supports certain backup applications that do not
manage media. During backup, when one cartridge is read or written to
the end of the tape, the autoloader automatically returns that cartridge to
its slot and loads the cartridge from the next higher numbered slot to the
tape drive to be read or written to. This continues until the backup
software stops accessing the drive or until all the cartridges have been
sequentially accessed. The autoloader does not move the media until the
host requests the tape drive to unload the tape via a SCSI unload
command.
In
Sequential Cycle
mode, which is an option of the
Sequential
mode, the
autoloader automatically starts over with magazine slot 1 when the last
cartridge is used (slot 16 or highest filled slot). If this change mode is not
set, the autoloader stops when the last cartridge available has been used.
In
Sequential Cycle
mode, the autoloader continues to cycle until a user
stops it.
To set the

1 From any page, click the

Note: In
Sequential
mode, the medium changer does not appear in
the
Device Manager
. The medium changer will reappear in
Device Manager
if you return the system to
Random
mode. This
is to allow for operating systems that do not support multiple
LUNS.
Note:
You must perform a system reset before the new mode
takes effect, or you can use the front panel to power cycle
your machine.
