*

@

displayed if both of these conditions are true:

•a VOLATTR exists for an ECART, ZCART, helical, or STK1 cartridge (anything other than a Standard cartridge), and

•the cartridge external media label has not been verified by the LMU.

Errant, Scratch, Selected Fields

A flag of ‘‘Y’’ (yes) under the Errant (Err), Scratch (Scr), or Selected (Sel) headings indicates that the volume is currently in that status.

A volume in Errant (Err) status shows the volume’s home cell in the Cell Loc column.

Under the Selected heading, a flag of “Y” indicates that the volume is currently selected, that is, being mounted, dismounted, ejected, or moved. A flag of “M” indicates that the volume is currently mounted. The Selected column on the totals report includes both selected and mounted volumes. The volume’s home cell appears in the Cell Loc column.

External Label Field

Under the heading External Label (Ext Lbl), ‘‘R’’ indicates that the volume has a readable external label. A flag of ‘‘U’’ (unreadable) means that the cartridge has an external label which the camera system is unable to read. ‘‘N’’ indicates that the cartridge has no external label.

Cartridge Usability (CLN USE) Field

An ‘‘N’’ indicates a cartridge which is not usable, for example, a spent cleaning cartridge that is not usable because it has exhausted its cleaning surface. An ‘‘M’’ means that a cleaning cartridge has exceeded its maximum usage set by the VOLATTR MAXclean or MNTD MAXclean value.
