Manual Cartridge
Assignment
When manual cartridge assignment is enabled (the default setting), the
I/E Assign screen automatically appears on the operator panel once
cartridges are placed into the I/E station. The I/E Assign screen prompts
you to assign the cartridges to a specific partition or to the system
partition. The cartridges can then be used only by the assigned
partition.
When manual cartridge assignment is disabled, the I/E Assign screen
does not appear on the operator panel, and the cartridges in the I/E
station are visible to all partitions, as well as the system partition, and
can be used by any partition.
The manual cartridge setting is enabled by default. You can only change
this setting on the operator panel.
Understanding Host Application Notification
When manual cartridge assignment is enabled, SCSI Unit Attention 6/
2801 notifies the host application when the I/E station has been
accessed, allowing the host to automatically detect the presence of
media in the I/E station and update its I/E station status information.
When manual cartridge assignment is disabled, host notification via
SCSI Unit Attention 6/2801 depends on the number of configured
partitions:
If multiple partitions are defined, the host application is not notified
when the I/E station has been accessed. Media presence in the I/E
station is reported to any partition requesting it.
If a single partition is defined, the host application is notified when the
I/E station has been accessed. Media presence is reported to the sole
defined partition, as well as to the system partition, when either of
these partitions checks for changes in the status of the I/E station.
For information about using the host to perform tape operations, see
your host application documentation.
