Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User's Guide
Details on changing the tape drive mode include:
• The online/offline state follows the tape drive slot, not the particular
tape drive (if the tape drive were to be moved to a different slot in
the library).
• You can select only tape drives in partitions to which you have been
given access.
• If you change the mode of a control path tape drive to offline, a
caution dialog displays asking you to confirm the mode change. For
information on control path tape drives, see
Paths on page 66.
You can change the tape drive mode from both the operator panel and
the Web client.
