Glossary
A
audit
A part of the tape library IPL sequence that catalogs all tape cartridge
locations. This data is retained in the MPC card memory.
Host audit—A host request to catalog the tape cartridges of a tape library by
SCSI element or tape library number, panel, row, column.
automatic mode
A relationship between a tape library and all attached hosts. Tape libraries
operating in automatic mode handle cartridges without operator intervention.
This is the normal operating mode of a tape library that has been placed
online to all host CPUs.
C
cartridge
The plastic housing around a cartridge tape. A plastic leader block is attached
to the tape for automatic threading when loaded in a transport. The spine of
the cartridge contains a Tri-Optic label listing the volume identification
number.
cartridge access port
(CAP)
An assembly allowing an operator to enter or eject cartridges during
automated operations.
cartridge drive
A device that reads from or writes to a magnetic tape.
catalog
The inventory of all tape cartridge storage locations in a 20/700 tape library;
this inventory is by SCSI element or tape library number, panel, row, column.
cell
A slot in the tape library that is used to store a tape cartridge.
command line
interface (CLI)
For firmware 2.20 and lower—the SER1 port on the MPC card. For firmware
3.00 or later, the CSE port on the MPC card. For MPB firmware only, the CSE
port on the Master library’s door frame.
