9.
In the World Wide Name field, enter a worldwide name for the tape device, if
required.
10. In the Barcode reader list, select one of these options to indicate whether a barcode
reader is present:
■ yes
Select this option to indicate that the tape library has a barcode reader.
■ no
Select this option to indicate that the tape library does not have a barcode
reader.
■ default
Select this option to indicate that Oracle Secure Backup should automatically
determine the barcode reader using information reported by either the tape
library, the external device file, or both.
11. In the Barcode required list, select yes or no. If you specify yes, then Oracle Secure
Backup refuses to use any tape that lacks a readable barcode.
By default, Oracle Secure Backup does not discriminate between tapes with
readable barcodes and those without. This policy ensures that Oracle Secure
Backup can always solicit a tape needed for a restore operation by using either the
barcode or the volume ID.
12. Set whether the tape library should use automatic cleaning.
13. In the Unload required list, select yes or no to specify if an unload operation is

14. Select an ejection type. Your choices are:
■ Automatic
Whenever a volume becomes eligible to be ejected from the tape library,
Oracle Secure Backup moves that volume to an export element and notifies
the backup operator that it is available there. If no export elements are
available, then Oracle Secure Backup requests operator assistance.
■ On demand
Whenever a volume becomes eligible to be ejected from the tape library,
Oracle Secure Backup marks the volume to that effect. A media movement job
then waits for the operator to reply to the job. The operator replies to the job
through the job transcript. When the operator replies to the job to continue,
Oracle Secure Backup ejects all such volumes through export elements.
■ Manual
No automation is used to eject volumes from the tape library. The backup
operator determines which storage elements contain volumes ready to be
