If you have AutoClean enabled, you can also import cleaning cartridges
into the library. For information, see
Importing Cleaning Media
on
page 138. In addition, you can bulkload cartridges into the library rather
than use the I/E station to import media. For information, see
Bulkloading
on page 129.
You must have access to the library’s I/E station and the operator panel
to import cartridges.
The process for importing cartridges includes the following steps:
1
Go to the front of the library and insert cartridges into the I/E station.
2
Close the I/E station door.
The
Assign IE
screen appears on the operator panel if the
Manual
Cartridge Assignment
setting is enabled on the operator panel
System
Settings
screen (
Tools > System Settings)
.
If the
Assign IE
screen appears, do the following:
a
Assign the cartridges to the appropriate partition by selecting a
partition listed on the
Assign IE
screen. The screen lists only the
partitions to which you have been given access.
The partition button turns red after it has been selected.
b
Select
Apply
.
c
If the selected partition is online, it will be taken offline before the
import operation is performed, and brought back online after the
operation is complete. If the library contains multiple partitions,
the import operation will not affect operations in other partitions.
Note:
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.
Caution:
If you select the wrong partition, open the I/E station
door. Move the cartridge to a different I/E station slot
and close the I/E station door. The library will rescan
the I/E station, and the
Assign IE
screen will appear
again.
