Configure Operating Mode - Quantum rdx8000 Quick Start Manual

CONFIGURE OPERATING MODE

The RDX 8000 can be configured for a variety of applications by using one of
the two operating modes shown here. The operation mode selected will apply
to all eight slots of the RDX 8000.
Mode 1—Tape Library: The unit appears to the host application as an 8-slot
library (autoloader, media changer) containing one generic LTO tape drive.
This mode requires all cartridges to be reformatted before use. See User
Manual for instructions on formatting.
Mode 2—JBOD: The unit appears to the host operating system as
8 individual drives, each with a separate drive letter.
Apply Mode Settings
The RDX 8000 is preconfigured for JBOD mode. To set a different operating
mode, select the tab CONFIGURE > Device. At the lower right, select the tab
Device. To set System Mode, use the pull-down menu and select Tape Library.
Assign a new System Name if required, and click Submit to apply the changes.
A confirmation dialog will verify that the settings have been changed.
