User Interface The operator panel is located on the front of the library and allows you to work locally on the library via the user interface. The Web client allows you to view and perform library functions from remote sites and is accessible through a browser.
Page 37: Support For Worm
Chapter 1: Description Licensable Features Support for WORM Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 tape libraries support WORM (write once, read many) technology. WORM allows non-rewriteable and non-erasable data to be written and provides extra data security by prohibiting accidental data erasure. The WORM feature is supported whenever you use WORM cartridges.
