Each data transfer element represents an Ultrium tape drive within the library. Storage elements 1
to 24 represent the 24 configured slots within the library. Storage element 25 represents the
import/export slot of the library, also known as the Mail Slot in the HP StoreOnce Backup System
Web Management Interface.

Loading a cartridge into a library tape drive

To load a cartridge into the tape drive, the mtx load command should be used. For example,
to move a cartridge from slot 2 to the first tape drive the command would be:
# mtx f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 load 2 0

Unloading a cartridge from a library tape drive

To unload a cartridge and place it in a storage slot, the mtx unload command should be used.
For example, to unload a cartridge from the first tape drive and place it in to storage slot 2, the
command would be:
# mtx f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 unload 2 0

Backup and restore files using TAR

This section describes how to perform a simple backup and recovery of files to an HP StoreOnce
Backup System using the console applications; MTX and TAR. In the examples, the autoloader
robotics is controlled using SCSI device file /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 and the library drive
uses tape device file /dev/rmt/2cb. The file to be backed up and restored is the kernel.

Back up the kernel
