LIBRARY APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM INITIALIZATION METHOD AND LIBRARY CONTROLLER

摘要

A library apparatus includes an initialization processing unit and an operation processing unit. The initialization processing unit, when accepting an initialization request to initialize a storage medium to which a wireless communication device is added, the wireless communication device including an IC chip with management information and including an electronic paper with a display unit for displaying the management information, stores a label name of the storage medium and data in the management information, the label name being acquired through the initialization request, and the data being written to a block used as an index label of the storage medium. The operation processing unit, when loading the storage medium into a drive, writes the data that the initialization processing unit has stored in the management information corresponding to the storage medium to the block used as the index label of the storage medium.

1. A library apparatus comprising:
an initialization preparing unit configured to, when accepting an initialization request to initialize a storage medium to which a wireless communication device is added, the wireless communication device including an IC chip with a storage unit for storing management information and including an electronic paper with a display unit for displaying information stored in the management information, store a label name of the storage medium and data in the management information, the label name being acquired through the initialization request, and the data being data to be written to a block used as an index label of the storage medium, to thereby perform a preparation for initialization of the storage medium; and a first initializing unit configured to, when loading the storage medium into a drive, write the data that the initialization preparing unit has stored in the management information corresponding to the storage medium to the block used as the index label of the storage medium, to thereby perform the initialization of the storage medium.
