Chapter 16: Working With Cartridges and Barcodes
Managing and Moving Media
Quantum Scalar i6000 User’s Guide

Managing and Moving Media
The LMC provides you with commands for:
•
Importing Cartridges Into Partitions
•
Exporting Cartridges From Partitions
•
•
•
Moving Media Within a Partition
•
Moving Media Between Active Vault or AMP and Standard Partitions
•
The following sections provide step-by-step instructions for performing
these tasks.
Note:
Unless the situation requires it, use the host application to
move, load, unload, import, or export cartridges instead of
doing so through the LMC. Using the host to move media
makes sure that the host’s view of the library remains in sync
with the library’s actual configuration.
Exception:
When moving media into and out of library
managed partitions, you must use the LMC since library
managed partitions are not visible to hosts (see
Between Active Vault or AMP and Standard Partitions
Importing Cartridges
Into Partitions
When you first start using your library, open the door and manually
insert, directly into storage slots, as many cartridges as you plan to use.
The cartridges will not go back all the way if they are inserted
incorrectly.
After your library begins operation, use the
Import Media
dialog box to
add cartridges without interrupting library operations. Place cartridges
in the I/E station. The scanner automatically reads the barcodes on new
cartridges.
