Updating Media Health After a Bulk Load

The library assesses each tape and updates the Media Health state whenever the
cartridge mounts a drive. After bulk loading tapes, Media Health for many cartridges
will be listed as "Unknown". As the library mounts cartridges during the course of
routine operations, the library progressively updates the Media Health property,
replacing the "Unknown" values. However, you can force an immediate update of an
individual cartridge by taking the library offline and mounting the cartridge.

Import and Export Cartridges Using the Mailslot

When you need to import cartridges into a library or partition or export them from a
library or partition, use the mailslot (also known as the cartridge access port or CAP in
other StorageTek libraries). The standard mailslot holds up to four cartridges. The
optional, expanded magazine holds up to nineteen.
To load or unload cartridges using the mailslot, carry out the following tasks:
