<h1 class="topictitle1">Tape library operating modes</h1>
|

|
<div><p>This topic provides a description of the tape library
|
||
|
|
operating modes.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Most tape library devices support three basic modes of operation. The terminology
|
||
|
|
that is used to describe these operational modes varies with the type of tape
|
||
|
|
library, but the concepts are the same. The operating modes are the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Manual mode</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When a tape library is in manual mode it behaves like a stand-alone tape
|
||
|
|
device. You must load all cartridges manually. See Set up a tape library as
|
||
|
|
a stand-alone device for more information about using a tape library as a
|
||
|
|
stand-alone device.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Automatic cartridge loader mode</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When a tape library is in this mode it behaves like a stand-alone tape
|
||
|
|
device with an automatic cartridge loader. When a cartridge is unloaded, the
|
||
|
|
next cartridge is loaded until all cartridges have been used.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Library mode</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>In library mode, a tape library provides full tape automation.</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<p>See the operator's manual for your tape library for specific information
|
||
|
|
for configuring these modes on your tape library.</p>
