Empty slots
Empty slots are slots that contain no cartridges; all the fields are empty.
Tape drive row: A library consists of two devices; a tape drive and changer device. This
location refers to the tape drive element of the library. It is normally only populated when the
backup application on the host is writing to or reading from the library.
Mail slot row: This location refers to the slot that is used for importing and exporting data to
a physically attached tape drive. It is not used with HP StoreOnce products.
Numbered slot row: This slot is empty after a Delete operation or after the backup application
has moved data to the mail slot for export.
Once a numbered slot is empty, the Create button may be used to create a new, blank cartridge.

To create a cartridge (administrators only)

NOTE: You can only create a cartridge in an empty slot.
Click on the Create button. There is a new right-hand column, Add Cartridge. Slots that are empty
have a checkbox in this column.
You can select individual slots by clicking in the appropriate checkboxes. When you have selected
the slots where cartridges should be added, click Create.
Alternatively, click Create all to create a blank cartridge of the size/emulation type selected when
the library was first configured in all empty slots.
Description
GUI and CLI (padded with space characters) regardless of the size selected. However,
if the Number of Barcode Characters is set to 6, only the rightmost 6 characters will be
made visible to the backup software, i.e. barcode 1ABCDEFG will truncate to BCDEFG.
(Truncated barcode characters are shown in brackets in the Cartridges tab.)
This checkbox indicates whether the slot is included in a replication mapping configuration.
It cannot be edited from this page.
This shows the actual used capacity in MB or GB.
This defaults to the appropriate capacity for the drive emulation type selected on the Devices
tab. This value may be changed if the Used Size is Blank, see below. The maximum value
allowed is 3200 GB.
This is a check box that allows you to enable (checked) and disable (unchecked) write
protection, see below.
This tells you when the cartridge was last written to and is useful when identifying data for
copying or exporting.
