Cartridge Management Tasks

Drive

Reserved Slots

The following restrictions apply:

The destination location can be a drive only if the source is a CAP or reserved slot.

For you to move a a cartridge to a drive, the cartridge media type must be compatible with the drive type.

You cannot move a cartridge to a location that is already occupied.

Although not strictly enforced, it is recommended that only diagnostic or cleaning cartridges be moved to reserved slots.

7.In the Destination Location table, specify the library internal address of the destination location by making the appropriate selections in the following pull- down menus:

Library

Module

Row

Column

The following special selections are available on the pull-down menus:

Min—First element type—library, module, row, or column— in the library

Max—Last element type—library, module, row, or column— in the library

Caution – If the library is partitioned, make sure to keep the cartridge in the same partition it is currently allocated to. Moving a cartridge to a cell allocated to a different partition could result in a host treating the cartridge as scratch and overwriting the data. Moving the cartridge to an unallocated cell will result in the cartridge being inaccessible to all hosts.
