Figure: CD/DVD Drive Properties dialog box

 

Name In this field, you can see the name of the DVD medium.
Path In this field, you can see the drive letter with which the DVD drive is to be addressed.
Position in jukebox This field shows the specification of the internal physical position of the DVD drive in the jukebox.
A jukebox contains four installation bays, for example. The Storage Manager instructs the jukebox to place the volumes in one of the four drives. The various different drive letters are assigned numbers for internal communication between the Storage Manager and jukebox which each correspond to a drive. You have to enter these numbers into the Position in jukebox field.
Spin up....seconds This field indicates the number of seconds after which a DVD which has just been created is read, at the latest. If the time specified in this field is overshot, the Storage Manager reports an error.
Cool-down time...seconds This field contains the time, in seconds, which elapses after a read error occurs until a new read attempt is started.
