Importing Cleaning
Cartridges
When AutoClean is enabled (at least one cleaning slot has been
configured), you can import cleaning cartridges from the I/E station to
designated cleaning slots. For information on configuring cleaning slots,
see
Configuring Cleaning Slots
on page 61.
When manual cartridge assignment is enabled (the default setting), you
cannot import cartridges until you have assigned them to a specific
partition or to the system partition. Cleaning cartridges should always
be assigned to the system partition. Assigning cleaning cartridges to the
system partition makes them available to all partitions in the library. For
more information about manual cartridge assignment, see
Manual
Cartridge Assignment
on page 95.
You must have access to the library’s I/E station and the operator panel
to import cleaning cartridges.
Caution:
Some host applications may fail import/export operations
when the I/E station contains cartridges that are assigned
to another partition. Move cartridges from the I/E station
as soon as possible to avoid possible conflicts with the
other partitions.
Note:
If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or
export cleaning media. See
Configuring I/E Station Slots
on
page 63.
The process for importing cleaning cartridges includes the following
steps:
Inserting and Assigning Cartridges
1
Verify that there is an available, empty slot that is not assigned to a
partition. If needed, free up access by modifying a partition (see
Modifying Partitions
on page 57).
2
Go to the front of the library and insert the cleaning cartridge(s)
into the I/E station.
3
Close the I/E station.
4
If manual cartridge assignment is enabled, the
I/E Assign
screen
appears on the operator panel. If manual cartridge assignment is
enabled, select the
System
partition.
