Defining AML Ports

An AML port is an opening in the AML you can use to insert or remove volumes without opening the main AML door. They are sometimes called convenience ports or convenience access ports. You can define AML ports and assign storage locations to allow movement of volumes in and out of the AML. Each AML handles input and output of volumes differently. See the Robot Support Self-Service topic for your AML on our website for specific instructions on defining ports.

Note:IBM AMLs do not require a port definition. Only StorageTek AMLs define ports.

To define I/O ports for an AML, enter a 3 next to the AML name. The Automated Media Library Port Maintenance panel displays. Press F1 for help on this panel.
