ENABLING MLM AND CONFIGURING GLOBAL SETTINGS
Overview This section describes enabling MLM on the library and
configuring the global MLM features. The global features are optional and
operate for every partition that is configured to use PreScan and PostScan
(see Enable and Configure MLM PreScan and PostScan on page 197).
Notes:  MLM is enabled by default. If you do not want to use MLM,
you must disable it.
 Disabling MLM also disables DLM.
User Privilege Requirements Only a user with superuser or administrator
privileges can enable MLM and configure the global MLM features.
Enable MLM and Configure Settings
Use the following steps to enable MLM and Media Auto Discovery and
configure the global settings for MLM. These settings affect all partitions in
the library.
Note: Enabling MLM automatically enables Drive Lifecycle
Management (DLM) as well. See Chapter 10 – Using Drive
Lifecycle Management, beginning on page 312 for information
about DLM.
1. Log into the library as a user with superuser or administrator
privileges.
Important
Before disabling (or re-enabling) Media Lifecycle Management, make sure that
none of the drives in the library contain a cartridge. Use your application software
to unload cartridges from the drives and return them to the slots in the library.
