IBM Magstar 3494 Reserved Cartridge Storage Cells, Cartridge Storage Capacity

Reserved Cartridge Storage Cells
The library reserves certain cells within the library for functions that the operator
does not actively control.
In non-high availability models these locations are Error Recovery Cells 1 A1 (1 A 3
instead of 1 A1 if the optional Dual Gripper feature is installed) and CE cartridge
cell 1 A20. If both 3490E and 3590 tape subsystems are present, CE cartridge 1 A
19 is also reserved. These are used for error recovery cell and for service
cartridges. In high availability models, these locations are Error Recovery Cell 1 A1
and 1 A2 or 1 A 3 and 1 A 4 if the Dual Gripper Feature is installed. CE cartridge
cells are in the service bays.
