Setting the magazines

This setting is used to report the number of tape cartridges (storage elements) and the element address to the SCSI host. This setting must match the physical configuration in order for correct information to be reported. This setting only affects the information reported to the SCSI host and does not affect the access to magazine slots from the front panel or On-board Remote Management.

Those interfaces are based on the physical configuration.

When configured for both magazines, the autoloader always reports 16 tape cartridges to the SCSI host. This allows the removal and reinstallation of magazines without affecting what is reported to the host. When configured for left or right, the autoloader always reports eight tape cartridges to the SCSI host.

The element addresses vary depending on which magazine is configured. If left or right is selected, and both magazines are physically installed, the front panel and On-board Remote Management lets you access the other magazine, but the SCSI host does not have access to it.

To set the Magazines option:

1From any page, click Configuration. The Configuration screen opens.

2Scroll to Magazines. The Magazines options are shown. A check mark appears after the currently enabled mode.

3To leave the Magazines mode unchanged, press ESC.

- OR -

To change the Magazines configuration, scroll to the setting you want, click the appropriate check box, then click Submit. These settings include Both, Right, and Left.

The message “This will require a power cycle and ISV configuration change. Enter To Continue” is displayed. To continue with the change, press Submit. The message “Please power cycle the tape autoloader and reconfigure the ISV app.” displays.
