Chapter 1 Library Operating Modes An operating mode is the manner in which a tape library and the controlling software (also referred to as the customer's server software) interact. A library can operate in either automated mode or manual mode. Automated Mode Automated mode is the normal operating mode of the tape library. The controlling software instructs the robot to move the cartridge among the storage cells, drives, and CAP without operator intervention. Your tasks may include: I Monitoring the tape library operator display for messages I Importing a cartridge through the CAP I Exporting a cartridge through the CAP I Replacing a cleaning cartridge Refer to Library Operation on page 93 for the procedures. Manual Mode Manual mode refers to the tape library being inactive. Your tasks may include: I Opening the tape library doors I Moving the robot I Locating a cartridge I Removing a cartridge from the hand I Mounting a cartridge into a drive I Dismounting a cartridge from a drive Refer to Library Operation on page 93 for the procedures.
