Configuring I/E Station Slots
I/E station slots are used to import and export tape cartridges into and
out of the library without disrupting normal library operations.
I/E station slots can be configured as either I/E station slots or storage
slots. I/E station slots are used to import and export cartridges and are
shared by all partitions. Storage slots are used to store data cartridges
and cleaning cartridges and are assigned to a single partition.
An I/E station that has been configured for storage may contain
cleaning slots. These cleaning slots must be deleted before you can
reconfigure the storage slots as I/E station slots. You can view the Library
Configuration Report to determine how I/E slots are configured. For
more information, see
Viewing the Library Configuration Report on
page 210. For instructions on deleting cleaning slots, see Configuring
Cleaning Slots on page 61.
You cannot configure I/E station slots if cartridges are currently loaded
in the I/E station(s). Remove all cartridges from the I/E station(s) before
attempting the following procedure.
Each I/E station is configured as a complete unit. When configuring an
I/E station, all the slots in the I/E station are configured the same way.
The Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 are configured with 5 I/E station slots by
default.
