on page 119).

• You can move tapes between Active Vault partitions and standard

partitions via the library user interface without exporting and

importing the tapes (for more information, see

Note: Manual movement between library managed partitions and

standard partitions will require inventory reconciliation with

the backup application managing the standard partition.

• Active Vault partitions are library managed partitions. They are not

accessible to hosts.

of the Active Vault partition exceeds the number of unlicensed slots,
