Directly attached optical media libraries

One method of connecting optical media libraries is to directly connect the optical media library to your iSeries™ server. A multi-wire cable connects the library to an I/O processor or I/O adaptor card.

Directly attached optical media libraries support the following functions:

• Hierarchical File System (HFS) application programming interfaces (APIs).
• Most integrated file system commands.
• Many i5/OS™ save and restore commands.
• Accessable by other LAN-connected iSeries servers by using the integrated file system.
