Library Information

SCSI reservations

The SCSI Reservations screen indicates if the library or its elements are reserved for exclusive use by a host computer. The library and its elements are reserved and released through SCSI commands (RESERVE and RELEASE).

You may want to view SCSI reservations if you are operating the library in a multi-host environment and you want to determine which elements are reserved by which host. Multiple hosts can reserve different elements within a single library. For example, one host may reserve cartridge slots 1 through 10 for its exclusive use, while a second host may reserve slots 11 through 20. To view SCSI reservations:

1.Select SCSI Reservations from the SCSI Menu. The Unit Reservation screen appears.
