Magstar 3494 Tape Library Operator Guide | IBM guide

Pending Operations shows the number of pending operations for the following requests:

	v	Mounts and demounts
	v	Ejects and inserts
	v	Audits
	v	Cleans
	v	Exports
	v	Imports

When an operation is pending, it is in progress, queued, or blocked. If you need more speci®c information about a pending operation, select the appropriate queue. (See ªUsing the Queues Pull-Downº on page 137.)

Library sequence numbers shows the unique identi®cation numbers for each logical library within the physical 3494. Numbers are displayed for non-VTS libraries, and for each VTS library which exists in the 3494 tape library. These numbers are assigned at the plant of manufacture and set during the teach operation.

Tape subsystem IDs shows the unique identi®cation numbers for the tape subsystems installed in the 3494. The host software uses this information to determine the con®guration.

Capacity shows the total and empty number of storage cells in the library. It also shows the total and empty number of high-capacity output facility cells.

Home Cell Mode shows where the accessor will return a cartridge after processing. In Fixed mode, the cartridge will be returned to the cell from which it was originally retrieved. In Floating mode, the cartridge will be returned to a cell determined by the library manager.
