acl_getparam_library ACL Application Programmer’s Guide
The -stdout argument supports the keywords listed below. Each field can display in verbose
or non-verbose style, depending on the keyword specified. Non-verbose style displays only a
value; verbose style replaces the value with a descriptive string. If the data for a particular
keyword is not available
, na displays instead of the value (or string) for that keyword.
%auto_store Displays the current setting of the Auto Store configuration
%v_auto_store parameter:
1 or Enabled indicates that the parameter is set to on.
0 or Disabled Indicates that the parameter is set to off.
When the Auto Store 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 configuration parameter is set to on, the
ACL automatically returns any tape cartridge ejected by the tape
drive to the location from which it was loaded (or, if the location
is unknown, to an empty storage bin).
%auto_audit_override Displays the current setting of the Auto Audit Override
%v_auto_audit_override configuration parameter:
1 or Enabled indicates that the parameter is set to on.
0 or Disabled Indicates that the parameter is set to off.
The ACL has an internal database which 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 parameter is set
to on, this functionality is suppressed.
%barcode_required Displays the current setting of the Barcode Required
%v_barcode_required configuration parameter:
1 or Enabled indicates that the parameter is set to on.
0 or Disabled Indicates that the parameter is set to off.
When the Barcode Required configuration parameter is set to
on, the ACL limits movement of a tape cartridge that does not
have a readable barcode ID:
A DST 412 ACL will not move the tape cartridge to a drive.
An DST 712 and 812 ACL will move the tape cartridge to a
drive or IMEX bin, but not to a storage bin.
