•
Automatic drive unload When enabled, the library issues unload commands to drives when
host applications issue move media commands to the library. When disabled, the library
requires host applications to issue unload commands to the drives. Automatic Drive Unload
is enabled by default.
NOTE:
With library firmware 680H and later, automatic drive unload is always enabled
and it has been removed as a setting that can be configured.
•
Logical SN addressing Specifies whether the library should use logical serial number addressing
for all drives in the library.
NOTE:
The Logical SN Addressing area is available only to CSEs. You cannot enable or
disable logical serial number addressing for drives. If a CSE enables this feature, the library
assigns logical serial numbers to all drives in the library. Specifically, the library assigns a
logical serial number to a drive in a specific location. This is not the serial number of the
particular drive. If a drive is replaced by another drive in the same library location, the logical
serial number remains the same. From the host's perspective, the replacement drive is the
same as the original one.
•
IPv6 Specifies whether the library will support the configuration of IPv6 network settings. Select
Enable in the IPv6 area to enable the Network Configuration dialog that you can use to
configure the settings for an IPv6 network connection. IPv6 is disabled by default.
NOTE:
Enabling IPv6 adds a submenu to the Network Configuration command on the Setup
menu that you use to display the IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration dialog.
•
Extended I/E Recognizes the extended import/export feature. Enables extended import/export
slot configurations. Extended I/E slots allow designating of normal storage magazines, not
associated with a physical I/E station, as import/export storage. Extended I/E is disabled by
default.
NOTE:
Extended I/E allows the user the capability to increase the number of I/E slots
presented to the client host.
•
FIPS Specifies whether drives within partitions using library-managed encryption (LME), such
as ESKM and KMIP, will be placed into FIPS compliant mode. Enabling the FIPS feature has
serious ramifications for service, support, and future library configuration, and it is an option
that should only be enabled if all of these ramifications are understood.
CAUTION:
Enabling the FIPS feature is a one-time and irreversible configuration option.
NOTE:
FIPS compliance is only supported with LTO-5 and LTO-6 in the ESL G3.
See
“Enabling Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)” (page 49)
for more information
on FIPS.
