Fastor2 Slot Sequence with BaclupExec v9.1

I need to know how to get BackupExec to force the ADIC Fastor2/SDL320 autloader to select slots sequentially. The device comes from the factory set for Random slot access. ADIC says the switch to Sequential should come from the software but I can't find anything in BackupExec or on the Support site indicating how to make it happen. Partitionaing is NOT a viable option since it does not ensure sequential tape use within the partition.

Kinda labor intensive, but if you re-label the tapes after loading them, starting with slot 0 and working up, BackupExec will use them in that order

We are already aware of how to force BackupExec to label/erase tapes in sequential order and we do use it as a work around but it's fairly tedious. Overall, I have to say the suggestion does NOT resolve my issue.

Hello,

We suggest you to partition the library:
