Used Size:
The Location column identifies each element of the library that is available
to hold a cartridge. There are three types of element:
• Mail slot: which is a dedicated slot that is used to hold a cartridge that
is ready for exporting to or importing from physical tape. Cartridges are
normally moved into the mail slot by the backup application on the host
machine, but there is also aMove Cartridge drop-down menu in Edit
mode.
• Tape drive: which is populated when there is activity on a cartridge. You
can also move a cartridge into a tape drive by using the Move Cartridge
drop-down menu in Edit mode.
• Slot n: which is one of the standard library slots
A bar code is an 8–digit, alphanumeric, unique identifier for a cartridge
within the HP D2D Backup System. Bar codes are shared with the backup
application, if requested. The backup application may also choose to assign
its own internal identifier to the cartridge but, if it does so, it cannot assign
this identifier to the Cartridge bar code.
Bar codes are generated automatically but may be edited by the user. If you
choose to edit the bar code:
• It must be unique and must not start with the letters "CLN" or "DG" be-
cause these are reserved designations for cleaning and diagnostic cart-
ridges.
• It should be a minimum of 4 characters. Valid ASCII characters are A-Z,
a-z, 0–9, space and hyphen. Anything less than 8 characters will be
appended with space characters.
This shows the actual used capacity in MB or GB. If this is Blank, the cartridge
may be deleted using the delete icon, see below. Non-blank cartridges
cannot be removed so the Remove button will not be shown. Only Blank
cartridges can be removed from the mail slot.
