Moving Cartridges

You can move one or more cartridges at a time from one library to another or from a library to the
firesafe.
You may delete replication cartridges on either the source or the target VLS with the following results:
• Moving a source cartridge from its existing slot to a different slot in the same library does not
move the target cartridge.
• Moving a target cartridge from its existing slot to a different slot in the same library, within the
same replication target and copy pool, results in the source cartridge moving to the new slot.
• Moving a source cartridge from its existing library to a different library or to the firesafe results in
the target cartridge disappearing from the echo copy pool and moving to the firesafe.
• Moving a target cartridge from its existing library to a different library or to the firesafe, or to a
different slot that is not part of the echo copy pool, does not move the source cartridge.
• Moving a target cartridge from its existing library to a different library, or to a new slot in the
same library within a new echo copy pool, results in the source cartridge disappearing from the
echo copy pool but not moving from its existing library.
To move cartridges, from Command View VLS:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Select Cartridges in the navigation tree. The cartridges details window opens.
3. Select the number of cartridges to display from the menu beside the category of cartridges you
wish to move. The options are 10, 50, 100 (default), 500, or 1024 cartridges.
4. Click View beside the category. The cartridges parameters window opens.
5. Select the Select box next to each cartridge that you want to delete, or use Select All to delete all
the cartridges listed.
6. Select the destination from the Move Selected To menu.
7. Click Go to the right of the Move Selected To menu.
NOTE:
If you have moved a large number of cartridges, allow approximately 20–30 minutes for the VLS
system to fully free up the resources from the move before making changes based on the move.
