Adding, Removing, and Replacing FC I/O Blades
The library will not be able to locate tapes that are removed from one
partition and returned to a different partition. The tapes must be
returned to the same partition they were removed from. Since the
library assigns slots to a partition, you must create a map to locate
each tape or create a map of tape slots that belong to each partition.
You can do this by going to the Setup > Library Configuration screen
on the web client and clicking the Show BarCodes button.
