DLTtape Mini-Library Usage
The IBM AIX operating system does not support DLTtape media changer device commands. Therefore, an installed
DLT2500/DLT2500XT/DLT2700/DLT2700XT/DLT4500/DLT4700 mini-library can not be utilized in random access
mode and can only be accessed in sequential mode. Refer to either the DLT2000/DLT2700 product manual, DLT2500
owner's manual, DLT2000XT/DLT2500XT/DLT2700XT or the DLT4000/DLT4500/DLT4700 product manual for
detailed description of these access modes.
