Table 3. Volume Categories (continued)
Category
(in hex)	Name	De®nition
FF12	Export-Pending	At the start of export operation processing, the VTS
	Category	assigns the logical volumes to be exported to this
		category to remove them from access by attached
		hosts. If the Library Export operation is cancelled or
		fails, any logical volumes assigned to this category are
		reassigned to the category they were in prior to the
		export operation. When a logical volume is assigned to
		the export-pending category, the original category
		information is preserved.
FF13	Exported Category	Once a group of logical volumes to export have been
		placed on a stacked volume and all processing for that
		stacked volume is completed, the VTS assigns the
		logical volumes to this category.
FF14	Import Category	Stacked volumes that contain logical volumes to import
		into the VTS are assigned to this category. When they
		are ®rst added to the library through the Convenience
		Input¤Output Station, they are placed in the Unassigned
		category automatically by the Library Manager. Prior to
		starting the import operation, the operator must
		manually move these volumes into the Import category
		via the Manage Unassigned Volumes panel, shown
		in Figure 129 on page 202.
FF15	Import-Pending	As part of import operation processing, the VTS
	Category	assigns the logical volumes being imported to this
		category. If the Library Import operation is cancelled or
		fails, any logical volumes assigned to this category are
		deleted from the library inventory.
FF16	Unassigned Category	J type cartridges are assigned to this category when
		the Convenience Input¤Output Station is in the Import
		Mode. Volumes remain in this category until the
		operator assigns them to either the Import Category or
		the Insert Category, or selects to eject them. Volumes
		are assigned to this category by the Library Manager
		when they are input via the Convenience Input¤Output
		Station. They are assigned to this category if the
		library contains one or more VTS subsystems that
		have Import/Export capability.
FF17	Export Hold Category	Exported stacked volumes are assigned to this
		category by the VTS. This is a ²limbo² category where
		export volumes are placed when the export operation
		is completed. The Manage Export Hold Volumes
		panel, shown in Figure 132 on page 206, is used by
		the operator to cause volumes in this category to be
		ejected.
