To Create A Cartridge; To Move Or Unload Cartridges; Network (Configuration) - HP StorageWorks D2D100 - Backup System User Manual

NOTE:
The maximum size indicates the physical disk space available for that slot assuming uncompressed data;
it will only be committed when data is written to it. Changing the maximum space does not affect actual

blank, new cartridge to an empty cartridge slot, without having to run an inventory. This saves
some processing time.
You may need to restart your services to see the new cartridges.
NOTE:
When you import a cartridge, you need an empty mail slot and an empty cartridge to which the backup
application can move the imported data. Therefore, you may wish to leave a slot whose cartridge has
been exported empty, rather than creating a new cartridge. Or to create a slot, edit the Total No Of

To move or unload cartridges

The ability to move cartridges is provided, but only to an empty Location (mail slot, tape drive or
numbered slot). The Move Cartridge drop-down menu lists available empty slots. (Empty numbered slots
are created if you delete a cartridge.)
Use the Unload all Cartridges button to return all cartridges to their slots.
The move and unload options are unlikely to be required very often, but may be useful if the user needs
to re-align their library configuration against their backup application should they become out of synch,
perhaps because the backup application has crashed, or if the backup application does not support
the Move Medium command.
