Managing Media

Scanning Media in a Device

List Cartridge List Cartridge Memory, available for Cartridge Memory enabled drives,

Memoryis equivalent to a standard Data Protector scan, with the difference that the information is retrieved from Cartridge Memory instead of tape. It does not require the loading or unloading of tape and is faster.

However, using this method to synchronize the repository with the IDB is not recommended. Use the standard scan instead. You can perform a Cartridge Memory list for a specific slot. Refer to Figure 4-6.

NOTE

Certain media management operations (such as initialize, scan, enter,

 

and eject) can be performed during backup or restore. Therefore, Data

 

Protector uses “advisory locking” to ensure that backup or restore will

 

not fail if the device cannot be locked. Other operations (such as backup,

 

restore, import, and copy) require device locking to proceed with backup

 

or restore.
