You can use the I/E station to import data cartridges into the library. The
library's scanner automatically reads the barcode on new cartridges
imported into the library.
Tape cartridges must be present in the I/E station and assigned to a
partition before you can import them. You will select a partition into
which to import the cartridges. If the selected partition is online, it will
be taken offline before the import operation is performed, and brought
back online after the operation is complete. If the library contains
multiple partitions, the import operation will not affect operations in
other partitions.
You must have access to the library's I/E station and the operator panel
to import cartridges.
Note: All tape cartridges must have a unique, external barcode label
that is machine readable. See
page 276 and
information.
Note: If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or
export media using the I/E station. See
Slots on page 62.
Note: Importing cartridges using the library interface may necessitate
performing an inventory on your host application. You can also
import cartridges using your host application. See your host
application documentation for more information.
