Configuring and Testing the Tape
Library
This section covers these topics:
Overview of Configuration
This section describes how to configure and test the tape library and its associated
tape drives for operation. When the tape library is powered-on, it performs the
initialization of the robotic components.
Tape library firmware is factory-installed on all new tape libraries. It resides within a
Flash PROM chip on the MPC controller card. The tape library and tape drives must be
configured to enable full initialization, audit, testing, and online capabilities.
Tape Library Capacity
These capacity variations are available for the CTL700:
Overview of Configuration 5-1
Tape Library Capacity 5-1
Entering Configuration Data 5-3
Performing the Final Steps 5-11
Initialization Sequence 5-11
Testing the Tape Library 5-13
Model Capacity
CTL700 156 cells
CTL700M 618 cells
CTLUPG 462 cell upgrade
Note. The capacity of the tape library is automatically configured during Initial Program Load
(IPL). The firmware configures the size of the tape library based on the positions of the theta
stops.
