Disabling/Enabling
Manual Cartridge
Assignment 3
Administrators can disable or enable manual cartridge assignment. When
manual cartridge assignment is enabled (the default setting), the
Assign
I/E
screen automatically appears on the operator panel once cartridges are
placed into the I/E station. The
Assign I/E screen prompts you to use the
operator panel to assign the cartridges to a specific partition or to the
system partition.
When manual cartridge assignment is disabled, the
Assign I/E screen does
not appear on the operator panel, and the cartridges in the I/E station
remain unassigned until they are moved or imported into the library.
For more information on how manual cartridge assignment affects
importing of media, see Importing Media
on page 246.
You can disable manual cartridge assignment by clearing the
Manual
Cartridge Assignment
check box on the operator panel System Settings
screen. For more information on system settings, Configuring System
Settings on page 126.
Manual cartridge assignment cannot be configured from the Web client.
The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the operator panel, select
Tools > System Settings.
Understanding Host Application Notification
3
When manual cartridge assignment is enabled, SCSI Unit Attention
6/2801 notifies the host application when the I/E station has been
accessed, allowing the host to automatically detect the presence of media
in the I/E station and update its I/E station status information.
When manual cartridge assignment is disabled, host notification via SCSI
Unit Attention 6/2801 depends on the number of configured partitions:
• If multiple partitions are defined, the host application is not notified
when the I/E station has been accessed. Media presence in the I/E
station is reported to any partition requesting it.
