RDX 8000 User Guide
1.4.1 Mode 1 — RDX 8000 Tape Library:
As of firmware version 1.2, the unit appears to the host application as an 8 slot library (autoloader, media changer)
containing one to three generic LTO tape drive(s). The application controls which cartridge is “inserted” into one of the
available “tape drives”. This mode requires the use of a data management/backup applications which supports a library
(media changer) containing one to three tape drives.
Note that the RDX 8000 unit is emulating the LTO tape format to the host application including the actual file format
recorded on the RDX cartridge. RDX cartridges which are recorded in this mode are not write/read interchangeable with
standard RDX docks.
Use of this mode requires the user to pre-format the standard RDX media to the tape format mode. The RDX 8000 unit
identifies the current cartridge format via the OCP and RDX 8000 interfaces.
1.4.2 Mode 2 — RDX 8000 JBOD (default setting):
The RDX 8000 unit appears to the host operating system as 8 individual RDX cartridge drives, each with their own drive
letter.
Note that, depending on the host operating system, drive letters may only appear when an RDX cartridge is inserted into
a RDX 8000 slot. Removal of media via cartridge eject may cause the drive letter to disappear.
This mode may be used with Windows operating systems for standard disk operations or with data management/
backup application designed to operate with individual RDX storage units in a grouped configuration.
1.4.3 Mode 3 — RDX 8000 Disk Library:
The unit appears to the host application as an 8 slot library (autoloader, media changer) containing one to three RDX
cartridge drives. The application controls which cartridge is “inserted” into one of the available drives (same virtual
“movement” as in mode 1). This mode requires the use of a data management/backup applications which supports a
library (media changer) containing one to three RDX drives.
Alternately when in “Mode 3” the RDX 8000 will support user controlled cartridge “movement” under the “Manage/
Library” tab.
