This section provides instructions for the following import/export
procedures:
Moving media into the library (importing) and out of the library
(exporting) is the primary interaction you will have with the physical

the LC, either using the library touch screen or using a keyboard and
mouse connected directly to the LCM (see
on page
Media includes both the TeraPack magazines and the individual cartridges
in them. It may also include RXT media packs and cleaning cartridges that
are periodically used during tape drive maintenance. Cartridges are
always imported and exported using a TeraPack magazine, whether you
are moving an individual cartridge or a group of cartridges.
The library automatically updates its physical inventory whenever media
is imported into or exported from a partition. However, the inventory
maintained by the backup software is not automatically updated when the
physical inventory changes. Refer to your software documentation for
information about updating the inventory maintained by the software.
