5.1.1.1. Operator PVR Specific Configuration Window
Field Descriptions
Cartridge Capacity. The total number of cartridge slots in the library dedicated to this HPSS PVR. This
may or may not be the total cartridge capacity of the library; a site might use part of the library for some
other HPSS PVR or for some non-HPSS application. The PVR uses the Cartridge Capacity field and
the Cartridge Alarm Threshold field to determine when to send an alarm that the total cartridge
threshold has been exceeded.
Cartridge Alarm Threshold. The percentage of the Cartridge Capacity at which the PVR will send an
alarm.
Shelf Tape Check-In Retry. The number of seconds the PVR will wait before asking the robot if a
requested shelf tape has been checked-in. The PVR will continue checking at this interval until the tape is
checked-in. This field applies only if the Support Shelf Tape checkbox is selected. The retry value must
be 30 or greater.
Shelf Tape Check-In Alarm. The PVR will periodically log alarm messages when a requested shelf tape
has not been checked-in. This field specifies the number of minutes between alarms. This field applies
only if the Support Shelf Tape checkbox is selected. The alarm value must be 2 or greater.
Dismount Delay. When Defer Dismounts is checked, this value is used by the PVL to determine the
number of minutes that dismounts are delayed after the last data access.
Characteristics. Flags for the PVR:
• Defer Dismounts. If ON, the PVL will delay the dismounting of a tape cartridge until the
drive is required by another job or until the Dismount Delay time limit is exceeded.
• Support Shelf Tape. If ON, the PVR and the PVL will support the removal of cartridges
from the tape library using the shelf_tape utility.
