Moving Media 9
Once media has been imported into the library, you can use the Move
Media operation to move a single data cartridge between tape drives and
slots within a partition.
This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the host
application, to move media. Using the library to move media may
necessitate performing an inventory of the library with the host
application. See your host application documentation for more
information.
Details on using the library to move media include:
• If the partition is online, it will be taken offline before the move is
performed and brought back online after the move is complete. You
will be asked to confirm that you want to take the partition offline.
• You can select only the partitions to which you have been given
access.
• You can only move media within one partition at a time.
You need to provide the following information in the user interface to
move media:
•
Partition — Lists the partitions that you have permission to access.
•
Selected Media — The single cartridge that you want to move.
•
Selected Destination — The location to which you want to move the
cartridge.
Note: If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot move
cartridges to and from the I/E station. See Configuring
I/E
Station Slots on page 79.
Note: If the operation does not complete successfully, the
partition remains offline until you turn it back online
manually or restart the library (see Taking a
Partition
Online or Offline on page 76).
