AutoEject Reports whether the Auto Store Enable configuration parameter is
on (1) or off (0, default).
When the Auto Store Enable configuration parameter is set to off,
the initiator must use the aclMoveCartridge() or
aclMoveVolume() function 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 storage bin from which it was loaded (or, if this is
unknown, to an empty storage bin).
AutoAuditOverride Reports whether the Auto Audit Override configuration parameter
is on (1, default) or off (0).
The ACL has an internal database that it keeps up to date. When
powered on with a tape cartridge in the drive, however, the ACL
cannot read the barcode ID of that cartridge until it is unloaded from
the drive.
When the Auto Audit Override configuration parameter is set to off,
the ACL automatically executes a barcode read when it does not
have a barcode ID stored for the tape cartridge it unloads from the
drive. When the Auto Audit Override configuration parameter is set
to on, this functionality is suppressed.
BarcodeReqEnable Reports whether the Barcode Required Enable configuration
parameter is on (1) or off (0, default).
When the Barcode Required Enable configuration parameter is set
to on, the ACL will not accept a tape cartridge that does not have a
readable barcode ID; i.e., the ACL will not transfer the cartridge to
a drive (2XX, 4XX) or from an IMEX bin (8XX). When the
parameter is set to off, the ACL accepts all tape cartridges without
regard to barcode ID.
AutoImport 8XX – Reports whether the Auto Import Enable configuration
parameter is on (1) or off (0, default).
The ACL detects the presence of a tape cartridge when it is inserted
into an IMEX bin. When the Auto Import Enable configuration
parameter is set to on, the ACL automatically transfers the tape
cartridge to the next available Storage Element, starting from
address 1000.
