5.10.1 Managing the
libr
ary
The “MANAGE/Library” function is available when the operation mode of the
RDX
8000 unit is set to “Tape Library”
.
In “Tape Library” mode, this feature allows the user to “manually move” tape formatted
RDX
cartridges from any
storage slot to the virtual tape drive(s). The virtual tape drive allows the cartridge to be visible to the host as an
emulated LTO tape within an emulated
LTO
tape drive and for the host to write or read data from the cartridge with
applications designed to support
LTO
tape drives. The “MANAGE/Library” function will only allow movement of
properly
formatted
(tape format) cartridges into the virtual drive. Cartridge format is indicated by the icon in the
image for each storage
slot
location. Disk formatted cartridges will appear with the exception mark (red exclamation
mark) to indicate an
abnormal condition.
The cartridge may be unloaded from the virtual drive by selecting the appropriate drive and then clicking on the
left
pointing arrow (unload drive) operator in the center. Also, selecting any other cartridge from the storage slot side
and choosing the load button will result in the automatic unload of the cartridge in the drive. The
RDX
8000 will only
store
cartridges back into their original storage slot location (it is not possible to ‘move” cartridges to a different
storage slot).
