 Import cartridges into or export cartridges from the library
 Use the BlueScale user interface to move a cartridge from one
location to another
 Use the Global Spare drive being used by PostScan to replace a
malfunctioning drive in the partition
 Change the library configuration settings
 Create or modify partitions
 Update BlueScale software or the drive firmware
If you need to perform any of these operations or if you need to reset
the library, you can pause the PostScan process for one hour (see Pause
the PostScan Process on page 315). The library returns any cartridges
currently being scanned to their original locations. After an hour
passes, the library checks the prerequisites for starting PostScan (see
Prerequisites for Starting a PostScan Operation on page 308) and when
met, restarts the PostScan operation on the tape that was being verified
at the time of the interruption.
