Empty slots

Empty slots are slots that contain no cartridges; all the fields are empty.
• Tape drive row: A library consists of two devices; a tape drive and changer device. This location
refers to the tape drive element of the library. It is normally only populated when the backup
application on the host is writing to or reading from the library.
• Mail slot row: This location refers to the slot that is used for importing and exporting data.
It is only populated:
• When the backup application on the host moves data into it for export to a tape drive
attached to the HP D2D Backup System. Once the export has been run successfully from the
Web Interface, the slot becomes empty again.
• Or when the Web Interface is used to import data from a tape drive attached to the HP
D2D. The backup application on the host is used to move the data back into a numbered
slot and the mail slot becomes empty again.
• Numbered slot row: This slot is empty after a Delete operation or after the backup application
has moved data to the mail slot for export.

To write protect a cartridge

Click Edit for the appropriate cartridge. Check the Write Protected check box for the cartridge. Your
backup application will not be able to write any more data to it.

To edit maximum size

The only times you can resize cartridges are when you first create a library or when you add slots and
they are blank. Once the cartridges are made available to the backup application, it formats them ready
for use and they are no longer blank, even if you have not yet written data to them. Similarly, the erase
function on most backup applications does not return the cartridge to a completely blank state.
The Max Size defaults to the appropriate capacity for the drive emulation type selected on the Devices
tab, but if the Used Size is Blank, you can edit this value. The maximum value allowed is 1600 GB.
Click Edit for the appropriate slot. Select a value from the drop-down menu and click Update.
