Configure the Library Step 5 of 6: Configure the Mailslot, Reserved Slots and Volume Label Format

Configure the mailslot type, number of reserved system slots, and volume label format.

Note:

Code versions before 2.0 will not include an option for mailslot configuration.

1. Configure the mailslot.

   Note:

   Refer to the ACSLS documentation for release levels which support the Expanded Mailslot Configuration.

   Select the mailslot type from the list that corresponds to your configuration:

   • Standard Mailslot (4 slots)
   • Expanded (19 slots)
2. Set the system reserved slots.

   System reserved slots are storage slots in the SL150 library typically used to house cleaning tapes or diagnostic tapes. Use the System Reserved Slots list to select the desired number of slots (see Determine the Required Number of Reserved System Slots).

   • No reserved slot
   • 1 reserved slot
   • 2 reserved slots
   • 3 reserved slots
3. Set the volume label format. Use the Volume Label Format list to select the desired number of slots and then tap Next.

   To accommodate various cartridge labeling schemes, the SL150 library supports labels eight to 14 characters long and provides a label windowing feature that lets you specify how the labels should be interpreted by the host application. See Label Format Types for a description of the format types.
