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 A 1 (1 A 3 instead of 1 A 1 if the optional Dual Gripper feature is installed) and CE cartridge cell 1 A 20. 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 A 1 and 1 A 2 or 1 A 3 and 1 A 4 if the Dual Gripper Feature is installed. CE cartridge cells are in the service bays.
