Caution: Some host applications may fail import/export operations
when the I/E station contains cartridges that are assigned
to another partition. Move cartridges from the I/E station
as soon as possible to avoid possible conflicts with the
other partitions.
The process for importing cartridges includes the following steps:
Inserting and Assigning Cartridges
1 Verify that all tape drives are unloaded and that all cartridges are in
their appropriate storage slot locations. Doing this will avoid over-
loading the library with cartridges.
2 Go to the front of the library and insert cartridges into the I/E
station.
3 Close the I/E station.
The I/E Assign screen appears on the operator panel if Manual
Cartridge Assignment is enabled on the operator panel (Setup >
System Settings).
4 If the I/E Assign screen appears, do the following:
a Using the operator panel, select the partition to which you want
to assign the cartridges. All unassigned cartridges in the I/E
station will be assigned to the same partition.
b Press Apply. (Alternatively, you may press Cancel to bypass this
step if you wish to assign cartridges to different partitions using
the Web client. Note that you must disable manual cartridge
assignment from the operator panel before you can import
unassigned cartridges, as described in the Note above.)
5 Continue using one of these options:
• Importing Cartridges via the Operator Panel on page 119
• Importing Cartridges via Web Client on page 120
Importing Cartridges via the Operator Panel
You can only import one cartridge at a time using the operator panel.
