Managing Import/Export Volumes

This section contains information on managing Import/Export volumes in VTS

systems that are Import/Export capable.

Manage Unassigned Volumes

This panel will be automatically presented when the library is in Import mode and

volumes of J-type media have been input into the library via the Convenience

Input¤Output Station. This panel allows the operator to move Exported Stacked

Volumes in the Unassigned category to the Import category. This is an essential

step during a VTS import operation. The operator can also move other physical

volumes (J-type, HPCT) to the Insert category or eject them from the library. The

ªUnassignedº volumes are presented in the list box titled ªUnassignedº.
