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.
- 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).
- Select Library in the left menu. Right-click on a tape, select Move Tape.
- 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.
- 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.
- To move the tape, click OK.
- If you did not check the Set the Library back Online ... checkbox, remember to bring the library back online once you are ready.
