Air Cleaner User Manual

2. You can change the following fields from the screen above:
Write policy
Default=Sequential. Press Tab to select either “Parallel” or “Multi-copy”
write policy. You can also press F4 to list the three options and select
from the list.
Description
Default=Blank. Although this field is left blank at this time, a generic
description is provided if you do not enter a description. The default
description depends on the write policy:
Sequential Sequential Virtual Device
Parallel Parallel Virtual Device
Multi-copy Multi-copy Virtual Device
Enter a description to override the description above. You do not need
to include the physical device name in the description. Do not use
single (’) or double (″) quotation marks in this field.
Autoloader/Auto-eject?
Default=no. Press Tab for “yes” if this device, or these devices, are
autoloaders. If you set this field to autoloader, the user does not receive
prompts to change the volumes.
Device name(s)
Default=Blank. Enter the device names to include in the list (preceded
by /dev), or press F4 to list the available tape drives and select the
drives using F7. If this device is an autoloader, you can enter only one
device name.
If the write-policy is set to Parallel or Multi-copy, you must enter more
than one device name in this field. If the write-policy is sequential,
entering only one device name treats this device no differently than a
single tape drive, unless you also indicate that the device is an
autoloader.
