Use LSMs as Scratch Loaders in a Mixed ACS

In an environment where massive cartridge input is required or a lot of cartridge movement occurs, 9360 (WolfCreek) or 9310 (PowderHorn) LSMs can be used to simulate scratch loaders intermixed with 4410 LSMs to improve library performance.

1. Specify the following operator command:

MNTD SCRDISM(ARCHIVE)

2.Run scratch redistribution frequently.

3.Eject cartridges when necessary from the archive device (4410 or 9310).

Figure 28 shows a 9360 used as a scratch loader.
