Reserved Cartridge Storage Cells
The 3494 Tape Library reserves certain cartridge storage cells for functions that you
do not control actively.
In frames other than the 3494 HA1 Option, these locations are Error Recovery Cells
1 A 1 (if the optional Dual Gripper feature is installed, 1 A 3 instead of 1 A 1) and
CE cartridge cell 1 A 20. If two tape drive types are present, CE cartridge cell 1 A
19 is also reserved. If three tape drive types are present, CE cartridge cell 1 A 19
and 1 A 18 are also reserved. These are used as error recovery cells and for service
cartridges.
In the 3494 HA1 Option, these locations are Error Recovery Cells 1 A 1 and 1 A 2,
or, if the Dual Gripper feature is installed, 1 A 3 and 1 A 4. CE cartridge cells are
stored in the service bays.
