Library functions

The library provides many specific functions, such as random or sequential operating mode, encryption, library sharing, path failover, and alerts and logging.

Encryption
All supported tape drives in this library support encryption.
Library sharing
The library can be configured into one or more logical libraries that can be shared by multiple applications.
Control path failover, Data path failover, and load balancing
The path failover feature ensures the use of a redundant communication path when the primary path fails.
Alerts and logging
The library sends alerts about the library and attached tape drives, and offers audit-logging to track user actions.
Random and Sequential Logical Library modes
A Logical Library can be configured in one of two modes: Random and Sequential.
