Automated Mode

Automated mode is the normal operating mode of the tape library. The
controlling software instructs the robot to move the cartridge among the storage
cells, drives, and CAP without operator intervention. Your tasks may include:
• Monitoring the tape library operator display for messages
• Importing a cartridge through the CAP
• Exporting a cartridge through the CAP
• Replacing a cleaning cartridge
Refer to

Manual Mode

Manual mode occurs when the tape library is offline. Your tasks may include:
• Opening the tape library doors
• Moving the robot
• Locating a cartridge
• Removing a cartridge from the hand
• Mounting a cartridge into a drive
• Dismounting a cartridge from a drive
• Returning the tape library to online status

Auto Clean Feature

Drives occasionally need to be cleaned to prevent read/write errors.
The Auto Clean feature is enabled when your tape library is initializing and
detects cleaning cartridges in the reserved cells. When a drive requires cleaning
while Auto Clean is enabled, the robot will receive a software message telling it
to retrieve a cleaning cartridge and place it into the drive.
If Auto Clean is not enabled, you must manually import a cleaning cartridge for
the drive that requires cleaning. The "Clean Drive" request appears on the
operator panel's display.
