want to configure. Each line of the move queue file must specify a
source and destination separated by a delimiter.
The format of each line is:
[source_id][source_num][delimiter][destination_id]
[destination_num]
where:
Note:
The slot numbers and drive numbers are assigned by the library.
The possible values are...
SLOT — T he cartridge is moved
from a slot in the storage pool.
EE — T he cartridge is moved from
a slot in the entry/exit pool.
DRIVE — T he cartridge is moved
from the drive.
BC — T he cartridge to be moved is
identified by its barcode label
information.
Note:
The values are not case‐
sensitive.
A positive integer for all source_id
values except BC.
The human‐readable barcode label
character string if the source_id is
BC.
Important:
If the cartridge does
not have a valid barcode label,
then you must specify both the
element type for the source_id
and the number of the slot in the
entry/exit or storage pool or the
number of the drive where the
cartridge is located for the
source_num.
Moving Cartridges Within a Partition
Description...
Specifies the location type for the
source from which you want to move
the cartridge.
Specifically identifies the cartridge to be
moved, either by the ID of the slot or
drive where it is currently located or by
the barcode label on the cartridge.
If the source_id is SLOT or EE, this
value is the number assigned to the
slot where the cartridge is currently
located. Locate the <offset>
parameter for the desired cartridge in
the downloaded inventory file and
use that value as the source_num.
If the source_id is DRIVE, this value is
the number of the drive where the
cartridge is currently located. Locate
the <offset> parameter for the drive in
the downloaded inventory file and
use that value as the source_num.
If the source_id is BC, this value is the
human‐readable barcode character
string for the cartridge to be moved.
Locate the <barcode> parameter for
the desired cartridge in the
downloaded inventory file and use
that value as the source_num.
