Importing Cartridges Into
Partitions
Scalar i2000 User's Guide
Note
When you first start using your library, open the door and manually
7 insert, directly into storage slots, as many cartridges as you plan to use.
The cartridges will not go back all the way if they are inserted incorrectly.
After your library begins operation, use the Import Media dialog box to
add cartridges without interrupting library operations. Place cartridges in
the I/E station. The scanner automatically reads the barcodes on new
cartridges.
1 Make sure that you are viewing the partition into which you want to
import a data cartridge. From the View menu, click the name of the
appropriate partition.
2 Insert a data cartridge into an appropriate I/E station. You can insert
multiple cartridges up to the maximum number of slots in your I/E
station.
To see which I/E stations are associated with a particular partition, click
Monitor→ IE Station.
3 Click Operations→ Import or click the Import toolbar button.
If the partition is not offline, you receive a message that asks you whether
you want to take it offline. Click Yes.
Chapter 7 Working With Cartridges and Barcodes
Unless the situation requires it, uses the host
application to move, load, unload, import, or
export cartridges instead of doing so through the
LMC. Using the host to move media makes sure
that the host's view of the library remains in sync
with the library's actual configuration.
