message displays when the move completes.
The Export Media operation enables you to export data cartridges from
storage slots to empty I/E station slots for removal from the library.
Details on exporting cartridges include:
• Exporting cartridges using the library Web client may necessitate
performing an inventory on your host application. If the host
application has issued a prevent media removal command to the
library, you will not be able to use the library Web client to export
cartridges. In addition, you can export cartridges using your host
application. For more information, see your host application
documentation.
• If the partition is online, it will be taken offline before the export is
performed, and brought back online after the export is complete.
You will be asked to confirm that you want to take the partition
offline.
• If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot export
cartridges. See Configuring I/E Station Slots
• If you have AutoClean enabled, you can also export cleaning
cartridges. For information, see
page 167.
• You can select only the partitions to which you have been given
access.
• You can only export cartridges if empty I/E station slots are available.
• You must have access to the library's I/E station and the operator
panel to export cleaning cartridges.
Caution: Some host applications may fail import/export operations
when the I/E station contains cartridges that are assigned
to another partition. Move cartridges from the I/E station
as soon as possible to avoid possible conflicts with the
other partitions.
