Overview During normal operations, you typically use your storage
management software to move cartridges from one location to another
within the library. However, you may occasionally need to create and
process a move queue to move cartridges manually. This can be done using
the library's BlueScale interface to locate and move individual cartridges
(for example, to move a cleaning cartridge stored in the storage partition to
a drive if you are not using the Auto Drive Clean option) or by uploading a
series of moves to a storage partition using a specially formatted ASCII text
file. Use the instructions in one of the following sections to manually direct
cartridge moves.
