If the cartridge is not found in the library after the Inventory has been executed, its state changes to offline .
After that, the cartridge is removed from the Cartridge list of Logical library (both Library tab and
Configuration > Logical tab, Cartridges ) and goes to archive list, or the list of the offline cartridges. It is
shown under the Physical tab of the Configuration area and contains the information about cartridges that
were removed from the physical library. Refer to Offline Cartridge on page 121.
Home Position
The cartridge home position concept is a basis of cartridge move operations in the Scalar DLC Management
software. Every cartridge impoting in the library immediately gets a home position in the first free storage
slot of appropriate type (for example, Generic DLT slot for DLT IV or SDLT cartridges; refer to
Storage Types
on page 247 for the details). Each cartridge has one and only home position. The slot can be a home
position for one and only one cartridge (the only exception is optical disk — the two sides of an optical disk
are represented with two volsers and one home position is assigned to both sides).
