message displays when the export completes.
8 Once the operation completes, you may open the I/E station and
remove the cartridges (see
Unlocking and Opening the I/E Station
on page 145).
Loading Tape Drives The Load Drive operation enables you to load a cartridge from a storage
slot into a tape drive. The storage slot and tape drive must be assigned
to the same partition.
This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the host
application, to load tape drives. Using the library to load tape drives
may necessitate performing an inventory with the host application. See
your host application documentation for more information.
Details on loading tape drives include:
• The storage slot and tape drive must be assigned to the same
partition.
• The tape cartridge must be compatible with the tape drive.
• If the partition is online, it will be taken offline before the load
operation is performed and brought back online after the operation
is complete. You will be asked to confirm that you want to take the
partition offline.
