Set SCSI: This setting enables you to 1) enable or disable the library robotics SCSI bus parity checking, and 2) set the SCSI addresses of the drives and the library robotics. The defaults are: parity enabled; Library Bus ID = 0. The designators DLT 0 through DLTn refer to the first through nth drives, counting from top to bottom.

Set Library Mode: This option enables you to set the library robotics operating mode to Random, Sequential DLT0, Sequential DLT1, or Sequential Split. Random is the normal operating mode which affords complete host control of the library robotics. The Sequential modes are locally controlled modes.

Descriptions of Configuration Options
Table 3-2 summarizes the configuration settings for the MiniLibrary System.
The items available on the Configuration Menu are as follows:
Set Data Format:
This setting enables you to 1) set the data format to Auto
Selection, THZ01, THZ02, DLT2000, DLT2000XT, DLT4000; or DLT7000;
and 2) Auto Selection, enable, disable data compression. Compression can not
be enabled when either THZ01 or THZ02 format is in use. This setting applies
to the next or currently loaded cartridge only. An unload command returns to
the default. This setting does not display the current format of the loaded tape.
Use the Show Status Menu for this purpose. The default for density and
compression is Auto Selection.
Set SCSI:
This setting enables you to 1) enable or disable the library robotics
SCSI bus parity checking, and 2) set the SCSI addresses of the drives and the
library robotics. The defaults are: parity enabled; Library Bus ID = 0. The
designators DLT 0 through DLT
n
refer to the first through
n
th drives, counting
from top to bottom. The actual designator used by the system depends on the
number of drives in the system and the placement of the module in the system.
Set Library Mode:
This option enables you to set the library robotics
operating mode to Random, Sequential DLT0, Sequential DLT1, or Sequential
Split. Random is the normal operating mode which affords complete host
control of the library robotics. The Sequential modes are locally controlled
modes. Sequential DLT0 begins with any cartridge loaded into DLT0. The
MiniLibrary Base Module monitors the status of DLT0, and when the
cartridge is unloaded by the host, it loads the next cartridge in magazine
numerical order. This operation continues to cycle until all of the cartridges
