Enabling tape drives for host access is part of the Host Access feature. See About Host Access for details about this feature.
Tape drives must be enabled for host access before you can map hosts to them.

NOTE: If you disable a tape drive that was previously enabled and mapped to hosts, the tape drive can be accessed by all hosts. However, the library keeps track of the mapped connections, so that if you re-enable the tape drive later, the connections you had before are reinstated. |
