Special cases
•
OCP contrast setting (MSL4048 and MSL8096) — each Library retains the setting it had before
extended mode was enabled.
•
Drive power — In the extended library, one of the tape drives is configured as the SCSI master
drive. The SCSI master drive can be in either Library.
When extended mode is disabled, the Library that hosts the tape drive that was configured as the
SCSI master drive in the extended library retains the drive power settings from the extended library.
Thus, if any tape drives in this Library were powered off, they will continue to be powered off.
In the other Library, all tape drives are powered on.
