The control path is configured with the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library you can later access the control path configuration screens directly:

From the RMI, select Setup > Partition/Drive

From the FPI, select Setup > Partitions

Configuring Autoclean

The library supports automatic cleaning of the drives. After a successful move medium command, but before responding with status to the host, the system requests status from the drive to determine if the drive requires cleaning. If Autoclean is enabled and a usable cleaning tape of the correct media type is available, a cleaning operation will be initiated. The library selects a cleaning tape, mounts it into the drive and waits for the drive to complete the cleaning operation. The drive automatically unloads the cleaning tape, the library returns the cleaning tape to its original location, and then returns the completion status to the host.

The Autoclean is configured with the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library you can later access the Autoclean configuration screens directly:

From the RMI, select Setup > Partition/Drive

From the FPI, select Setup > Setup Partitions & Drives

The legal values are enable and disable.

Configuring FPI Password

There are two user access levels in the library: Operator and Administrator. The FPI has two levels of password corresponding to the two access levels.

The Operator has access to all of the features in the Reports and Operations submenus. These features allow the Operator to check statistics and issue basic tape management functions. The Operator does not have access to any features that change settings in the library or run diagnostics. The Administrator has access to all features.

If a password is enabled, it is enabled for both the Operator and the Administrator. If the password is disabled, it is disabled for both the Operator and the Administrator. Enabling the password prompts the operator to set passwords for both the Operator and Administrator. The default for the library is password disabled.

The FPI Operator and Administrator passwords are configured from the FPI or RMI.

The FPI password is limited to a maximum of 4 numeric characters because of limitations on entering text through the FPI. The password text is masked when being entered through the FPI.

If the FPI passwords are enabled, the FPI interface requires that the Administrator password is entered before it allows access to the Change Passwords dialog.

Caution
