RSM supports two types of device configuration: autoconfiguration and manual configuration. Administrators can use the autoconfiguration feature of RSM only if the following statements are true:
Because not all library hardware units and system configurations support the RSM autoconfiguration feature, RSM provides a method for manually configuring library hardware units. However, administrators should not use this method unless it is absolutely necessary because manually configured devices do not recognize system configuration changes. Each time a change is made to a device in an RSM system that contains one or more manually configured devices, the administrator must repeat the manual configuration process.
