Ending Manual Mode

To end Manual mode, perform the following steps:
1. Leave the cartridges in the drives. The 3494 Tape Library moves them
automatically when it returns to Auto mode.
2. Close the front doors on the 3494 Tape Library.
3. Ensure that any mounts that have been started are not on the Manual Mode
display.
4. Press Ctrl + Esc to produce the task list.
5. Select the 3494 Tape Library Dataserver option on the task list with the
pointing device or press F3.
6. Select Mode from the Operator menu bar.
7. Verify Inventory Update is enabled before returning to Auto Mode. Enable
Inventory Update if it is disabled so that Inventory Update can reestablish
current location on all volsers.
8. Select the Auto... option on the Mode menu. The Mode Change Request
window opens to ask if you want to change the operating mode. Select the Yes
push button to change to Auto mode.
An Auto Pending message indicates that the transition to Auto mode is in
progress. The 3494 Tape Library returns to Auto mode after Manual mode.
When the transition to Auto mode is made, an inventory update is performed.
The Inventory Update operation must complete before the Auto activity
resumes.
