Tape Libraries
Chapter 22-18
During an initialization or IPL (Initial Program Load), the library
automatically verifies and loads some configuration values, such as drive
locations, Auto Clean status, capacity, and drive types. Before the library
is fully operational, you must enter the remaining configuration values.
You can enter the values through the operator panel.
NOTE You may need to consult with your system administrator for additional
information.
Enabling Auto Clean
CAUTION It is recommended that you DO NOT enable Auto Clean as it may
interfere with the operation of backup software.
Enabling the Auto Clean feature allows the library to initiate drive
cleaning without operator intervention. The Auto Clean feature is
automatically enabled if you load even one cleaning cartridge into the
reserved cell area and then power-on or reset the library.
Powering-on the Library
powering-on the library supplies power to the library electronics and to
the drive column. It also initiates an initial program load (IPL).
