CHAPTER 3 - CONFIGURING THE LIBRARY
4. Use the Barcode Label Alignment Reported To Host drop-down menu to
configure the library to report from the left or right end of the barcode label to
the host application when reporting fewer than the maximum number of
characters.
For example, when reporting only six characters of the barcode label 12345678, if
alignment is left, the library reports 123456. If alignment is right, the library
reports 345678. The default is left.
5. Use the Encryption Mode drop-down menu to select the type of encryption used
by the partition. To disable encryption, select Controlled by Backup Application.
Note:
This field is only visible if you are logged in as a security user or if the security user
has configured permission for the administrator user to configure encryption used
by a partition using the Expert Partition Wizard. See
page 58.
6. If desired, select Auto Clean to configure the library to automatically clean a
tape drive when it requests cleaning using a cleaning tape stored in the partition
or in an unassigned slot.
7. If desired, select LTO7 + Multi-initiator SCSI Conflict Detection.
LTO-7 and later generation tape drives track which hosts (SCSI initiators) send
commands to the drive. When LTO7 + Multi-initiator SCSI Conflict Detection is
enabled for a partition, the library monitors the initiator lists for all of the LTO-7
and later generation drives in that partition. If the library detects more than a
one host system connecting to any of the tape drives in this partition, the library
generates an LTO-7 Multi-initiator SCSI Conflict Detection warning event. The
event lists all of the host WWNNs for the given tape drive, so the administrator
can remove access to any host that should not be sending commands to the
drive.
Notes:
The LTO7 + Multi-initiator SCSI Conflict Detection setting only appears if
l
one or more LTO-7 or later generation drives are detected in the library.
Do not enable this feature if your storage architecture requires multiple hosts
l
sending commands to any drive in the partition.
