virtual tapes as they are used, from the first to the last virtual tape in the pool.
Note To manually disable autoloading, select a virtual tape drive (host device) on the
Virtual Media - Operation page and click Unmount.

pool to autoload indefinitely without user intervention. A pool can automatically cycle
back to the first virtual tape in the autoloader when the last virtual tape is unloaded. This
feature provides continuous and unattended operation for almost any application. If this
checkbox is not selected, the virtual tape drive is unmounted once it reaches the last
virtual tape in the pool.

all cartridges that are added to the pool. See
