Unload the CAP

Host applications should moves tapes out of the CAP and into storage cells. However, you can manually unload the CAP using the GUI when necessary.

  1. If possible, use the host application to unload the CAP instead of the GUI.
  2. Click CAPs in the left navigation area of the GUI.
  3. Verify the CAP is closed and locked.
  4. Select a CAP from the list, and then from the Actions drop-down (or right-click menu) select Unload CAP.

    The library will move the tapes to empty cells within the partition that currently owns the CAP.

  5. You may need to update your host application with the location of the new tapes.
