Chapter 7 — Importing and Exporting Cartridges

XPORTING OR
Overview This section provides instructions for exporting or exchanging
all of the magazines and cartridges in a storage partition's entry/exit or
storage pool or all of the maintenance magazines in a cleaning partition.
Requirements See Import and Export Overview on page 231 for
information about requirements and restrictions when exporting or
exchanging magazines.
Export process The export process uses either the dual TAP in the main
frame or the bulk TAP to physically remove all of the magazines (and any
cartridges they contain) from the selected location (a cleaning partition or a
storage partition's entry/exit pool or storage pool). The exported
magazines are not replaced by new magazines.
Exchange process The exchange process moves each of the magazines in
the selected location to either the dual TAP in the main frame or the bulk
TAP so that you can exchange the magazines for others of the same type.
You can also remove or exchange one or more individual cartridges in a
magazine while leaving the other cartridges in place. Exchanging
cartridges in a magazine is especially useful when you need to temporarily
import a cleaning cartridge into the storage pool as part of drive
maintenance.

specific cartridge, use the advanced option, as described in
Using the Advanced Import/Export Options on page 255. You
can also use the Inventory screen to move the magazine
containing the desired cartridge to the TAP so that you can
remove or exchange an individual cartridge and then move the
magazine back to its original location (see Moving Cartridges
Within a Partition on page 273).
