Note: Make sure that your scratch tapes are formatted and
contain no data that cannot be overwritten. Scratch tapes
must have barcode labels with valid volume serial (volser)
numbers on them. Also, you might find it useful to write
down the volser number so that you can identify your
scratch tapes.
This procedure will not damage any cartridges that are
already installed in the library. You can load both LTO and
DLT scratch cartridges if your library has mixed media.
If the scratch cartridge becomes lodged in a drive or
magazine, it must be manually removed from the library. If
not removed, the cartridge will become part of the
partition the next time the accessor assembly is enabled.
The I/E station will be locked until the inventory is complete.
10 Select a "scratch" cartridge of each media type listed on the
following dialog box, and then click Next.
Note: You can select one "scratch" cartridge per media type. Each
test that requires a scratch cartridge will call the media
types as needed.
