To Move Or Unload Cartridges; Making Replication Target Libraries Visible To The Host - HP StoreOnce User Manual

2. Select a value from the drop-down menu and click Update.

To move or unload cartridges

The ability to move cartridges is provided, but only to an empty Location (tape drive or numbered
slot).
Click on the Move button. There is a right-hand column, Move Cartridge. 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 sync, perhaps because the backup application has crashed, or if the backup application
does not support the Move Medium command.

Making Replication Target libraries visible to the host

NOTE: See
Replication Target libraries are not normally visible to the host, but you can configure devices to
make them visible to backup applications. This allows the backup application to:
Move cartridges from storage slots to drives in the library
Perform read and verify operations on the cartridge (but not write)
Perform load/unload operations on the tape device
WARNING!
and target libraries, it will not be able to distinguish between the source library and the target
library because the barcodes are duplicated in the two locations.
26 VTL (Virtual Tape Libraries) functions
Replication functions (page 40)
This facility should be used with care. If the backup application can see both source
for more details on replication configuration.
