Abstract
Embodiments for predetermining optimal demount position for demounting data storage cartridges in an automated data storage library by a processor. A selected demount position may be predetermined, while performing one of a plurality of robotic movements by an accessor, for each mounted data storage cartridge for demounting data storage cartridges in the automated data storage library such that each predetermined selected demount position is stored in a lookup table of predetermined selected demount positions for a subsequent demount operation. The idle time of the accessor during a demount operation may be reduced.
