Operating in Automated Mode
Automated mode is the normal operating mode of the library. When the library is active and the robot is mounting and dismounting cartridges, monitor your operator console and the library operator panel for messages and respond appropriately.
When a tape library is active, you also might need to:
■Monitor the operator panel for status messages
■Export cleaning cartridges
■Import cleaning cartridges
■Import cartridges into the library through CAP
■Export cartridges from the tape library through the CAP
■Replace a cleaning cartridge
■Manually clean a drive
■Review the FSC log
■Run diagnostic tests
The following section describes how to perform these activities.
Monitoring Status Information
You can monitor CAP, library, remote user, and drive status information through the library status screen (see Figure 27 on page 95). This is the main screen on the operator panel. It displays after initialization is complete and also when you press the [MENU] button while viewing the Main Menu.
You also can monitor drive information, CAP magazine status, the cleaning cartridge usage count, and the library’s “personality” information through operator panel menus.
