Drive
This option enables a tape drive to be automatically
powered up after replacing a tape drive. The default is

Unload Mode This option selects the unload mode for library tape drives.
If the mode is implicit, the library unloads a tape drive
before attempting to move a cartridge from that tape drive.

UNLOAD command to a tape drive before each MOVE
MEDIUM command that removes a cartridge from that tape
drive. The default is implicit.
Total Reserved Slots This option enables you to remove a specified number of
slots from use. Some host software impose size limits on
library magazines for licensing purposes. The default is 0.
Auto Clean Mode This option enables you to establish an automatic cleaning
cycle. To use this option, reserve a slot for a cleaning
cartridge using the Total Reserved Slots option. The default
is enabled.
Drive and Slot Numbering This option enables you to specify SCSI elements in the
library displayed as zero-based or one-based numbers. This
only affects the touch screen, not the actual SCSI addresses.
The default is one-based.

to random or sequential. The default is random.
Sequential Mode This option enables you to select a normal or recirculate
frequency mode. The default is normal.
