    Inserting Media Using the Insert/Eject Station Processing Media Two methods of inserting storage cartridges into the library are listed below: • Using the Insert/Eject Station on page 6 • Manually Inserting Cartridges on page 7 Using the Insert/Eject (I/E) Station to insert cartridges does not disrupt library operations.

  • Page 231: Manually Inserting Cartridges

    Issue the Move Media command from the Operator Panel. Refer to Move Media Dialog on page 5-39. The Accessor moves the cartridge to the requested storage cell location. There are two levels of access control. The first level is a mechanical key lock.

  • Page 232: Ejecting Media

    Removing media from the library is accomplished by using the I/E Station. Alternately, the cartridge could be manually removed from a specific storage cell location by the operator. Using the I/E Station to remove cartridges does not disrupt library operations. To remove cartridges through the I/E Station, follow this procedure.

  • Page 233: Manually Removing Cartridges

    Using the key, unlock and open the library door. Step 3 Step 4 Remove the cartridge from the desired storage cell. Step 5 Close and lock the door. Step 6 Place the library in the READY state. Refer to Mode Dialog on page 5-10.

    You select the drive, the library automatically cleans the drive and moves the tape back to its storage position. Disadvantage: Library storage slots are used for cleaning tapes. If you need space in the library, use manual cleaning without library tapes.

  • Page 244: Immediate Autoclean

    If AutoClean is enabled, the library puts the cartridge it is moving into a storage slot, but does not report to the host that the move is complete. Instead, the library selects the cleaning tape and inserts it into the drive.

  • Page 245: Library Delayed Autoclean

    Disadvantage: This procedure extends the time to move media from a drive to a storage position. Some drives can take more than 5 minutes to clean. If the host application cannot wait that long, the move operation that contained the cleaning operation fails.

  • Page 246: Host Controlled Cleaning

    Host Controlled Cleaning Use this procedure if host drive cleaning cannot be disabled. The host application is responsible for defining, using, and tracking cleaning tapes. Library AutoClean must be disabled. The host must not share the library controlled cleaning tapes because the library does not track host-directed cleaning, and consequently, does not increment the use counter.

  • Page 247: Enabling Library Autoclean

    Figure 6-4 22 June 2004 The host should not share Scalar 1000 controlled cleaning media. If a host uses the Scalar 1000 firmware controlled cleaning media, the Scalar 1000 firmware will not update cleaning media usage information. Use this procedure to set autoclean. For further information, refer to Drives Dialog on page 5-93.
  • Page 248 Note Use the Delayed option for routine or normal downtime because the Scalar 1000 will go NOT READY for the duration of the cleaning operation. 6-24 Processing Media It is recommended that the host extend the timeout period normally associated with waiting for a dismount response.
