Configure the Drive Fast Load Setting

The fast-load setting defines how the drive handles replying to mount requests. If either the partition setting or individual drive setting is fast, then the library fast loads the drive.

  1. Click Drives in the left navigation area of the GUI.
  2. Select a drive in the table (or use shift-click and ctrl-click to select multiple drives).
  3. From the Actions drop-down (or right-click menu), select Drive Setting and then select Normal or Fast for Fast-Load Type.
    • Normal (default) – The library will reply to a mount request only after the selected tape is loaded and threaded in the drive.
    • Fast – The library will reply to a mount request after the selected tape is inserted into the drive, but before loading and threading completes.
