Setting Up a Mail Slot

Some of the available host software enables the system administrator to limit access to the
library as a whole while permitting insertion into or removal from the library of one or more
tape cartridges when needed. This feature is commonly called a mail slot. It is implemented
using SCSI Import/Export elements.
In the LibraryXpress system, you can designate the magazine of any slave module as the mail
slot magazine. When you do so, the entire magazine is withdrawn from the list of storage
elements. You can designate any number of mail slots from one slot up to the full size of the
magazine. To configure a mail slot, use the following procedure.
