Description
The Location column identifies each element of the library that is available to hold a cartridge.
There are three types of element:
Mail slot: which is a dedicated slot that is used to hold a cartridge that is ready for
exporting to or importing from physical tape. It is not used with HP StoreOnce products.
Tape drive: which is populated when there is activity on a cartridge. You can also move
a cartridge into a tape drive by using the Move Cartridge drop-down menu in Edit mode.
Slot n: which is one of the standard library slots
A barcode is an 8– or 6–digit, alphanumeric, unique identifier for a cartridge within the HP
StoreOnce Backup system. Barcodes are shared with the backup application, if requested.
The backup application may also choose to assign its own internal identifier to the cartridge
but, if it does so, it cannot assign this identifier to the Cartridge barcode.
Barcodes are generated automatically but may be edited by the user. If you choose to edit
the barcode:
It must be unique and must not start with the letters "CLN" or "DG" because these are
reserved designations for cleaning and diagnostic cartridges.
It should be a minimum of 6 characters. Valid ASCII characters are A-Z, a-z, 0–9.
Barcodes will always be shown as 8 characters with letters in capitals on the StoreOnce
