After the initial bulkload, you can use the Import Media screen to add cartridges without interrupting library
operations, as long as I/E station slots have been configured. For more information, see
on page 58.
Moving Media
Once media has been imported into the library, you can use the Move Media operation to move a single
data cartridge between tape drives and slots within a partition.
If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot move cartridges to and
Note
from the I/E station. See
This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the host application, to move media. Using the
library to move media may necessitate performing an inventory of the library with the host application. See
your host application documentation for more information.
Details on using the library to move media include:
•
If the partition is online, it will be taken offline before the move is performed and brought back online
after the move is complete. You will be asked to confirm that you want to take the partition offline.
•
You can select only the partitions to which you have been given access.
•
You can only move media within one partition at a time.
You need to provide the following information in the user interface to move media:
•
Partition — lists the partitions that you have permission to access.
•
Selected Media — the single cartridge that you want to move.
•
Selected Destination — the location to which you want to move the cartridge.
You can filter the list of media by entering all or part of a barcode in the Search
Note
text box. Use an asterisk (*) to search with wildcards. You can also sort the list
by clicking on columns with bold headings. For example, selecting the
Location column heading sorts the list by location coordinates
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
•
From the web client, select Operations > Media > Move.
•
From the operator panel, select Operations > Move Media.
For step-by-step procedures, see the library's online Help. To access the online Help system, click the Help
icon at the top right of the web client or operator panel user interface.
Exporting Media
If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or export media.
Note
See
Configuring I/E Station Slots
The Export Media operation enables you to export data cartridges from storage slots to empty I/E station
slots for removal from the library.
