Terminating an Enter Request
Use these procedures to terminate or cancel a current or pending manual enter or virtual enter.
You cannot cancel an automatic enter operation that is in progress using the cancel
command. To terminate an automatic enter in progress:
-
If the CAP door is open, remove all of the cartridges and close the door
-
If the CAP door is closed and the cartridges are being moved into the library, you must allow the remaining cartridges to be entered into the library. The enter then terminates.
To cancel a manual enter:
