NAME

acl452 - The ACL 4∕52 Automated Tape Library

AVAILABILITY

SUNWsamfs

DESCRIPTION

The ACL 4∕52 tape library supports 48 DLT tape cartridges and 4 DLT tape drives. The library has a 4 slot import∕export unit that may be used to import or export media into the library. These import∕export slots may also be used as storage slots thus extending the storage capacity to 52 slots.

CONFIGURATION

The ACL 4∕52 should NOT be configured with auto-clean or auto-load when running StorageTek QFS and Oracle HSM software. Auto-load may be used during initial loading of cartridges as long as the StorageTek QFS and Oracle HSM software is not running.

IMPORT AND EXPORT MEDIA

To import media, the door on the ACL 4∕52 must first be opened. To open the door, issue the export (1m) command, then push the OPEN button on the ACL 4∕52 front panel. The door should open and you may place media in any of the slots. You may then close the door by pressing the CLOSE button then manually closing the door when the ACL 4∕52 display indicates that it is ready. The StorageTek QFS and Oracle HSM software will not recognize the new media until the import (1m) command is issued. Anytime you close the door, you must issue the import function.

To export media, use the move (1m) command to move media into the import∕export unit then issue the export (1m) command. Push the OPEN button on the ACL 4∕52 front panel to open the door.

If the door is already open, you must close the door and issue the import command before attempting to move media into the import∕export unit.

The slot numbers for the import∕export unit are 48, 49, 50 and 51.

Note: After opening or closing the door, the ACL 4∕52 goes offline until it has re-initialized. This will cause delays since the library must become online before any commands may be issued.
