摘要:
Drives of a data storage library are concurrently configured. A processor transmits library configuration data separately to each drive, initializes a first configuration process state, with a time-out period, for each drive. A drive responds with a status response, the first process state is updated to “completed”. A request for drive unique information is transmitted to the responding drive, advancing the process to a second state, with a time-out period. A drive responds with the information, and the second process state is updated to “completed”, and the received information is stored.
