StorageTek 6 manual

•To remove cartridges from rows on panel(s) to facilitate hardware (e.g., cabling) changes:

1.Use the SET utility to freeze the panel, preventing any additional cartridges from being moved to it. This prohibits new cartridge home cell locations from being allocated on the frozen panel.

2.Use the MOVe utility or the MOVe or EJect commands to move all cartridges off the panel rows being changed.

MOVe Flsm(aa:ll) Panel(pp) TLsm(aa:ll)

Because the panel has been frozen, cartridges cannot be moved to it, and the rows will remain empty. The StorageTek CSEs will make the hardware changes required.

3. After the hardware changes are complete, unfreeze the panel, if it is still frozen.
