Move Tape Cartridges with the Remote Interface

The remote interface can move cartridges when you cannot use the host application.

Note:

  • Always use the host application to move tapes when possible. Moving cartridges with the SL150 interface can cause host database inconsistencies that force audits.
  • See Library Support of LTO9 Tape Calibration for important information regarding library behavior during LTO9 tape calibration.
  1. If the library is partitioned and you will be moving a tape to/from the mailslot, assign the mailslot to a partition (see Assign the Mailslot to a Partition).
  2. Select Library in the left menu. Right-click on a tape, select Move Tape.
  3. At the top of the screen. Optionally, check the Set the Library back Online ... checkbox (the library automatically goes offline when moving tapes with the remote interface). Click OK.
  4. The Source field is pre-populated. To select a Destination, click on where you want to move the tape to within the graphical library map.
  5. To move the tape, click OK.
  6. If you did not check the Set the Library back Online ... checkbox, remember to bring the library back online once you are ready.
