Setting behaviors (Configuration > Library behavior)
The library supports three behavior modes: Random, Sequential, and Automatic. The library
automatically detects the required mode from the series of SCSI commands it receives; however,
you can also change the mode. Choose the operating mode based on the capabilities of the
software controlling the tape cartridges. The library mode can be set independently for each
logical library. Access to this feature requires the administrator password.
Random mode: In Random mode, the device does not automatically load tapes into the tape
drive; it waits for commands from the software or operator to load and unload tapes. Random
mode is used with a full featured or a robotics-aware backup application and is the most common
mode of operation. Your backup software must support robotics, which might require an additional
software module.
Sequential mode: In Sequential mode, the device automatically loads and unloads tapes from
the drive. Sequential mode is used when the backup software is NOT robotics-aware or was
designed for standalone drives only.
In Sequential mode, the library will only use the lowest-numbered tape drive.
The operator begins the sequence by loading the desired tape into the tape drive. When a tape
is unloaded for any reason, the device automatically removes the tape from the drive, returns it
to its original slot, then loads the tape from the next available higher numbered slot.
If you change the SCSI ID, you might need to cycle power on the host server and
