6.8.13.5.2 Configuration Requirements
HPSScanshare anAMLrobot withothertape managementsystems. If arobotis shared,caremust
be taken to make sure that a drive is not used by any other tape management system while that
drive is configured as unlocked in HPSS. This is important because HPSS can be configured to
periodicallypollallofitsunlockeddriveseveniftheyarenotcurrentlymountedor inusebyHPSS.
If a drive is being used by another tape management system, it must be configured as locked in
HPSS. For robots that have more than one arm (such as the AML/2), users should configure the
PVL Drive Information/Controller ID of each drive depending which arm is servicing it.
