Magstar 3494 Tape Library Operator Guide
Errors may be made when placing cartridges in the Convenience I/O Station and
moving them into other categories from the Unassigned Category when the
Advanced Function feature is installed on at least one VTS in a Library. The error
scenarios and recovery actions are described below:
Recovery Actions
v Eject the volume through the library manager console
using the Eject a Stacked Volume function.
v If the Exported Stacked Volume is needed for an
Import operation, reinsert the volume into the
Convenience I/O station and use the Manage
Unassigned Volumes pop-up window to assign the
volume to the Import category.
v Eject the volumes from the library through host console
command, ISMF or tape management system
command.
v If the Exported Stacked Volume is needed for an
Import operation, reinsert the volume into the
Convenience I/O station and use the Manage Insert
Volumes pop-up window to assign the volume to the
Import category.
Use the Manage VTS Import Volumes pop-up window to
eject the volume.
Use the Manage VTS Import Volumes pop-up window to
move the volume to the Insert category defined by Volser
ranges or eject the volume if it is not desired in the
library.
