will be combined into one table.
• 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 Mail Slots
through the last slot in your library) for loading into the drive.
NOTE: If a Logical Library in Sequential Mode contains more than one drive, only the first
drive in the Logical Library will be utilized.
• Autoload: Sequential mode with autoload mode ON loads the first available
cartridge (slot with the lowest numerical value that contains a cartridge)
automatically if the library powers ON with an empty drive.
• Loop: Sequential mode with loop mode ON loads the cartridge in the lowest
numerical slot after the cartridge in the highest numerical slot has been filled
and sent back to its home slot. This allows endless backup operations without
user interaction.
