Note	When you reconfigure the library, you may also need to
	reconfigure your backup software. For more information, consult
	the documentation provided with your software.

Main Menu -> Administration -> Change Configuration -> Mailslot

Note	Before changing the mailslot configuration, verify the slots that
	will become the mailslot are empty and not the original location
	of a tape in a drive.

Use the following steps to configure the mailslot option.

1.In the Configure Mailslot menu, a message will remind you to check the storage slot and mailslot configurations in the backup software. Select [OK].

2.The next screen will describe the prerequisites for configuring the mailslot. Verify these prerequisites have been met, then select [OK].

3.The display will indicate the current mailslot setting. Select the number of mailslots desired (0 slots, 1 slot, 1 magazine, or 2 magazines). See Table 13 on page 94 for information about each option.

A confirmation screen automatically displays the success or failure of the change and reminds you to reconfigure the backup software.

4.Select [Done] to exit.

Caution Do not change the mailslot setting without reconfiguring your backup software. The backup software must reflect the mailslot setting to assist in tracking tape exchanges and the current location of all tapes. Verify that your backup software supports and reflects the mailslot configuration that you select.
