5Tape Drive Operation
The application software automatically controls the tape drives to
perform backup and restore operations. You do not need to
intervene in the cartridge processing; however, you may need to
perform the following tasks:
Monitoring the tape drive LEDs
Cleaning the tape drives
Displaying information about tape drives
Ejecting a cartridge manually
Note: You cannot control the tape drives from the operator
panel. However, you can perform diagnostics on the tape
drives across the 9-pin or 25-pin serial port. (See Chapter 7
for information about diagnostics.)
