ACL Application Programmer’s Guide acl_setparam_library
-retry_on_reset
Specifies that the utility perform one retry automatically when a failure is caused by a SCSI
Bus Device Reset of the ACL.
ARGUMENTS
-help [ help_type ]
Displays help on stderr and invalidates all other options, cancelling any other actions. Valid
keywords for the optional help_type specification are:
output and revision.
-aclparam <
aclparam_spec>
Specifies new values for the configuration parameters settings you want to change. You must
provide an -aclparam <aclparam_spec> argument except when using the -help argument.
The -aclparam <aclparam_spec> argument comprises a four element specification ordered
as follows: -aclparam :AutoEject:AutoImport:AutoAuditOverride:BarcodeRequired:. Each
element must be delineated by separator characters and included in the specification even if
left empty. (An empty element is ignored and the corresponding configuration parameter is
not changed).
AutoEject An integer value of 1 or 0, sets the Auto Store Enable configuration
parameter to on or off, respectively.
When the Auto Store Enable configuration parameter is set to off,
the initiator must use the acl_move_tape or acl_move_volume
utility to remove a tape cartridge from the tape drive (after the drive
ejects the tape cartridge in response to a tape drive Unload
command).
When the Auto Store Enable configuration parameter is set to on,
the ACL automatically returns any tape cartridge ejected by the
drive to the location from which it was loaded (or, if this is
unknown, to an empty storage bin).
AutoImport An integer value of 1 or 0, sets the Auto Import Enable
configuration parameter to on or off, respectively (8XX).
The ACL detects the presence of a tape cartridge wen it is inserted
into an IMEX bin. When the Auto Import Enable configuration
parameter is set to on, the ACL automatically transfers the cartridge
to the next available storage bin.
When the Auto Import Enable configuration parameter is set to off,
this functionality is suppressed and the initiator must use the
acl_move_tape or acl_move_volume utility to transfer the
cartridge to a storage bin (or tape drive).
