PLS200 Library Installation and Operation
SCSI Reservations
NOTE: The PLS200 in its role as a video data archive is never connected to multiple
hosts. The PLS200 software does not use the RESERVE and RELEASE
SCSI commands.
Use these screens to check if the library or its elements are reserved for
exclusive use by a host computer. Elements are reserved and released by the
application software using the RESERVE and RELEASE SCSI commands.
You may want to view SCSI reservations if you are operating the library in a
multi-host environment and you want to determine which elements are reserved
for operations under which host. Multiple hosts can reserve different elements
within a single library. For example, one host may reserve cartridge slots 1
through 10 for its exclusive use, while a second host may reserve slots 11
through 20.
To view SCSI reservations:
1. From the Library Info Menu, select SCSI Menu.
2. From the SCSI Menu, select SCSI Reservations. The library displays the
Unit Reservation screen.
