Configure: Library
Note: The Remove DCS No is available only on libraries with the DCS feature.
The library configuration items are in this menu:
v Mode:
– Random: In random mode, the library allows the server 's (host 's) application software to select any
data cartridge in any order.
– Sequential: In sequential mode, the library 's firmware predefines the selection of the cartridges.
After initialization, the firmware causes the library to select the first available cartridge found
(counting from the I/O station through slot 23) for loading into the drive.
Important: A Logical Library in Sequential Mode supports only one tape drive. If it contains more
than one drive, only the first drive in the Logical Library is used and the other drives are not
supported.
