Recovery Moves
Note – This feature is available starting with SL500 firmware version 1026 and SL Console version 2.40.
Using the recovery move diagnostic function, you can move a cartridge from one location to another. For example:
■You can return a cartridge to its original location from a CAP cell, drive, or another storage cell location.
■You might decide to group cartridges by data type or to move them closer to their assigned drives.
■You can eject a cleaning or diagnostic cartridge that has expired.
■You can enter a new cleaning or diagnostic cartridge and move it to a reserved storage cell.
A cartridge currently in a storage cell can be moved only to a CAP, a reserved cell, or another storage cell, not to a drive. A cartridge currently in a drive, CAP, or reserved cell can be moved to any other unoccupied location in the library. See the following procedures for complete details:
■“Move a Specified Cartridge by VOLID” on page 89
■“Move a Cartridge From a Specified Location” on page 93
Before moving any cartridge, it is helpful to generate a Cartridge Summary Report, which lists the contents of library storage cells. See “List Library Cartridges” on page 88 for details. This report helps you determine where cartridges are currently located and which storage cells are unoccupied.
