3-38 Compaq StorageWorks TL881/TL891 Family MiniLibrary System Reference Guide The items available on the Configuration menu are: 1. Set Data Format: This setting lets you: a. Set the data format to Auto Selection, THZ01, THZ02, DLT2000, DLT2000XT, DLT4000, DLT7000, or DLT8000. b. Auto Selection, enable, and 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. 2. Set SCSI: This setting lets you: a. Enable or disable the library robotics SCSI bus parity checking. b. 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. 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. 3. Set Library Mode: This option lets you set the library robotics operating mode to Random, Sequential DLT0, Sequential DLT1, or Sequential Split. Random is the normal operating mode that 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 Base Module monitors the status of DLT0, and when the host unloads the cartridge, it loads the next cartridge in magazine numerical order. This operation continues to cycle until all of the cartridges have been loaded. Sequential DLT1 is the same, except that the cartridges are loaded into DLT1. Sequential Split mode provides two simultaneous sequential modes. Cartridges 0 through 4 are loaded sequentially into DLT0; cartridges 5 through 9 are loaded sequentially into DLT1.

Compaq StorageWorks TL881/TL891 Family MiniLibrary System Reference Guide
The items available on the Configuration menu are:
1.
Set Data Format:
This setting lets you:
a.
Set the data format to Auto Selection, THZ01, THZ02, DLT2000,
DLT2000XT, DLT4000, DLT7000, or DLT8000.
b.
Auto Selection, enable, and 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.
2.
Set SCSI:
This setting lets you:
a.
Enable or disable the library robotics SCSI bus parity checking.
b.
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.
3.
Set Library Mode:
This option lets you set the library robotics
operating mode to Random, Sequential DLT0, Sequential DLT1, or
Sequential Split. Random is the normal operating mode that 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 Base Module monitors the status of DLT0, and
when the host unloads the cartridge, it loads the next cartridge in
magazine numerical order. This operation continues to cycle until all of
the cartridges have been loaded. Sequential DLT1 is the same, except
that the cartridges are loaded into DLT1. Sequential Split mode provides
two simultaneous sequential modes. Cartridges 0 through 4 are loaded
sequentially into DLT0; cartridges 5 through 9 are loaded sequentially
into DLT1.
