While in Online mode, the library manager is capable of receiving, queueing, and executing commands from attached hosts.

Whenever the Library Manager is brought Online, a check for Fast Ready Categories is made. If the library has a VTS installed and there are no Fast Ready Categories de®ned, a warning message is displayed (see Figure 46). The message simply warns that at least one Fast Ready Category should be de®ned. The warning message is automatically removed after one minute if the OK button is not selected. If a VTS is not installed or there are Fast Ready Categories de®ned, no warning message is displayed. See ªSet VTS Category Attributesº on page 166 for information on setting Fast Ready Categories.

Note: Notify your system administrator if you see this message.
