Setting the Change Mode You can set the autoloader to either Random or Sequential. The default change mode is Random. 5 In Random mode, you, or the backup software, can specify which cartridge you want to use and where you want it to go. The Sequential mode supports certain backup applications that do not manage media. During backup, when one cartridge is read or written to the end of the tape, the autoloader automatically returns that cartridge to its slot and loads the cartridge from the next higher numbered slot to the tape drive to be read or written to. The autoloader does not move the media until the host requests the tape drive to unload the tape via a SCSI unload command. Note: In Sequential mode, the medium changer does not appear in the Device Manager. The medium changer will reappear in Device Manager if you return the system to Random mode. This is to allow for operating systems that do not support multiple LUNS. In Seq Cycle mode, which is an option of the Sequential mode, the autoloader automatically starts over with magazine slot 1 when the last cartridge is used (slot 16 or highest filled slot). If this change mode is not set, the autoloader stops when the last cartridge available has been used. In Seq Cycle mode the autoloader continues to cycle until a user stops it. 68 SuperLoader 3 Autoloader User's Guide Chapter 5 Administration Setting the Change Mode To set the Change Mode: 1 From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter. 2 From the Configuration menu, scroll to Change Mode, and then press Enter. 3 Do one of the following: · · To leave the mode the same, press Escape.
