Import Tape Cartridges

Use the mailslot to import tapes into the library.

1. If importing into a partitioned library, assign the mailslot to a partition (see Assign the Mailslot to a Partition).
2. Open the Mailslot. Place the tapes in the mailslot. Close the Mailslot.
3. Use the host application to move the tapes from the mailslot to the storage slots.

   If you cannot use the host application, you may move the tapes with the remote interface. Then, update the host application database to account for the new tapes.

4. In a partitioned library, once you are finished importing tapes, unassign the mailslot (see Unassign the Mailslot).
