EK–TL891–UG. A01 4–5
4.2.3 Set Library Mode
This option enables you to set the library robotics operating mode to Random,
Sequential DLT0, Sequential DLT1, or Sequential Split. Random is the normal
operating mode which affords complete host control of the library robotics. The
Sequential modes are locally controlled modes. Sequential DLT0 begins with any
cartridge loaded into DLT0. The Base Module monitors the status of DLT0, and
when the cartridge is unloaded by the host, it loads the next cartridge in
magazine numerical order. This operation continues to cycle until all of the
cartridges have been loaded. Sequential DLT1 is the same, except that the
cartridges are loaded into DLT1. Sequential Split mode provides two
simultaneous sequential modes. Cartridges 0 through 4 are loaded sequentially
into DLT0; cartridges 5 through 9 are loaded sequentially into DLT1.
4.2.3.1 Set Sequential Configuration
NOTE
Sequential Split mode requires two drives. The
default is Random.
To operate the TL891 in Sequential Mode, the following configuration
parameters must be established:
•
Library Mode
- change from Random (default) to Sequential DLT0.
•
Sequential Mode
must remain at
Normal
(default).
•
Test Unit Ready (TUR)
- change from Standard (default) to Custom
.
To establish these parameters for Sequential Mode operation, proceed as follows:
