Maintaining Empty Storage Cells in an LSM

ACSLS cannot “float" cartridges to an LSM on a dismount if all of the storage cells are full. Similarly, when cartridges are entered into a full LSM, the cartridges must be passed-thru to an LSM with empty cells.

To optimize performance, identify cartridges that do not need to be kept in the library for StreamLine access, and eject those cartridges from the library. You may also want to move cartridges from full LSMs to other LSMs with enough empty cells so that all LSMs have empty storage cells. See Moving Least-Recently Accessed Cartridges from Active LSMs.

Note:

Managing the cartridges in a library should be done when the library is not busy with mount requests.
