Random — In random mode, the library allows the server's (host's)
application software to select any data cartridge in any order.
Sequential — In sequential mode, the library's firmware predefines the
selection of the cartridges. After initialization, the firmware causes the library
to select the first available cartridge found (counting from the lowest
Column/Tier position through the highest cartridge position in your library)
for loading into the drive.
• Loop — Sequential mode with loop mode ON loads the cartridge in the
lowest Column/Tier cartridge position after the cartridge in the highest
Column/Tier cartridge position has been filled and sent back to its home
position. This allows endless backup operations without user interaction.
• Autoload — Sequential mode with autoload mode ON loads the first
available cartridge (the lowest Column/Tier cartridge position that
contains a cartridge) automatically if the library powers ON with an empty
drive.
