Directly attached optical media libraries

 

One method of connecting optical media libraries is to directly connect the optical media library to your system. A multiwire cable connects the library to an IOP or I/O adaptor card. Directly attached optical media libraries support the following functions:

• Hierarchical file system (HFS) application programming interfaces (APIs).

• Most integrated file system commands.

• Many i5/OS^® save and restore commands.

• Other LAN-connected systems can access the optical media libraries by using the integrated file system.
