Automatic Media Discovery
Overview TheMediaAutoDiscoveryfeatureisabackgroundprocessthat
loadsMLM‐enabledcartridgesinto aTS11x0technologydriveoran LTO‐4
orlatergenerationdriv e,recordstheMLMinformationtothecartridgeMAM,
addsthecartridgetotheMLMdatabase,andreturnsthecartridgetoits
originallocation.Theprocessisperformedbythelibraryindependentlyfro m
thestoragemanagementsoftware.  MediaAutoDiscovery mustbeenabled
