Chapter 4 Configuring Your Library
Working With Partitions
Scalar i2000 User’s Guide 114
The Product ID setting controls the product ID string that is returned in a
standard SCSI INQUIRY response. The library can report that it is a Scalar
24, Scalar 100, Scalar 1000, Scalar i2000, or Scalar 10K. This feature can
enable the library to be used with host applications that do not yet include
the Scalar i2000 in a list of recognized devices. In addition, the various
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating systems maintain a list of recognized
devices. If the Scalar i2000 is not in an operating system’s list of recognized
devices, the library will appear as an “unknown” device in device lists.
You might prevent the library from being listed as “unknown” by setting
Product ID to a library other than Scalar i2000. This setting does not cause
any library operational changes other than the SCSI INQUIRY response.

The Partitions - Step 3:Choose Policy Settings dialog box appears.
8 Configure the following settings:
•For Media Type Checking, select either Enable or Disable. This
setting is enabled by default.
•From the Media Checking Policy drop-down list, click either
Required or Not Required.
•From the Return Media Identifier drop-down list, click either Suffix,
Pass Through, Prefix, or Disabled. Depending on which setting you
choose, you can control the use of the media type identifier in the
volume serial number that is returned to the host.
For more information about how media policies work, see Understanding
Partition Media Policy Settings on page 107.
•For Automatic Drive Cleaning, click either Enable or Disable. This
setting is enabled by default.
Enabling automatic drive cleaning allows the library to initiate drive
cleaning each time a drive requests a cleaning operation. For automatic
drive cleaning to function, you must first configure drive cleaning for the
library. For more information about configuring drive cleaning, refer
Configuring Drive Cleaning on page 179.
After a media volume serial number has been
reported to a host, changing the Return Media
Identifier setting could cause the host to not
recognize media within the library.
