HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Tape Library - Manual (Page 62)

Operation 62
Drive and Slot Numbering Lets you specify whether SCSI elements in the library displays
with either zero based or one based. Note that this only affects
the GUI touch screen, not the actual SCSI element addresses. The
default is Zero Based.
Library Mode Lets you set the robotics operating mode to Random, Sequential
Drv0, Sequential Drv n (two or more drives), or Sequential Split.
Sequential Drive n and Sequential Split require two or more
drives in the library. Sequential mode is not available with
multi-module configurations. The default is Random.
Sequential Mode Sequential Mode is locally controlled. Sequential operations
begin with any cartridge loaded into Drive 0. The library
monitors the drive status, and when the host unloads a cartridge
from the drive, it returns the cartridge to the magazine, and then
loads the next cartridge in magazine numerical order. This
operation continues until all cartridges have been loaded, or
until an empty slot is encountered. Two options are available:
Normal (same as Library Mode above) and Recirculate. Instead
of stopping after the cartridge in the last slot for the drive has
been unloaded by the host, Recirculate mode continues the
operation by loading the first cartridge for the drive.
Recirculation will continue until an empty slot is encountered, or
the operator unloads the tape using the GUI touch screen.
LCD Contrast Adjust The LCD contrast controls let you increase or decrease the
contrast of the LCD display. The incremental steps are set by
adjusting the LCD Contrast Adjust option from the Library option.
Incremental steps can range from 0 to 31 depending on your
preference. The default is 16.
Mail-Slot Mode Lets you enable or disable the mail slot(s) in a library. For the
two-drive models, the default is Mail Slot Enabled. For the
four-drive models, the default is Both Mail Slots Enabled.
Barcode Label Size Lets you limit the length of the bar code label. Possible settings
are 1 through 8. The default is 8.
Barcode Label Assignment Lets you specify the alignment of a bar code label. The options
are Left or Right. When used in conjunction with the Barcode
Label Size option, this option strips unwanted trailing characters
(left alignment) or leading characters (right alignment). The
default is Left Align.
Barcode Label Check Digit Lets you specify whether to enable or disable the verification of a
check digit character in the bar code label. The default is
Disabled.
