Move complete time
Move Complete Time is measured from the time the autoloader receives a move
command to the time it returns status to the initiator indicating that the move
is complete. The average time required for the autoloader to move the cartridge
slot into position in front of the tape drive and either insert or remove the
cartridge from the tape drive is less than 45 seconds.
Reliability
The mean cycles between failures (MCBF) for the autoloader’s robot is 250,000
cycles. This value does not include failures attributable to the tape drive or
cartridges.
During one full cycle, the cartridge loader completes the following actions:
1 Picks the cartridge from a cartridge slot.
2 Places the cartridge in the tape drive.
3 Removes the cartridge from the tape drive.
4 Replaces the cartridge in the cartridge slot.
