Configuring I/E Slots
I/E slots are used to import and export tape cartridges into and out of the library without disrupting
normal library operations.
The 24-slot version of the StorageLibrary can be configured to have 0 or 3 I/E slots, and the 40-slot
version can be configured to have 0, 3, or 8 I/E slots. A library configured with 3 I/E slots will have the
I/E slots located in the front of the lower left magazine. In a library configured with 8 I/E slots, the
entire upper left magazine will be used as an I/E station.
I/E slots are shared by all partitions within a library.
Before you change the number of I/E slots, it is recommended that you remove any cartridges from
the slots that will become the new I/E slots. If the new I/E setting specifies 3 I/E slots, the number of
slots in the partition owning the lower left magazine will be decreased by 3. If the new I/E setting
specifies 8 I/E slots, the partition owning the upper left magazine will lose all 8 slots in this magazine.
Any cartridges left in the new I/E slots will become unassigned.
When changing the number of I/E slots from 3 to 0 or 8, the 3 front slots in the lower left magazine will
automatically be assigned to the same partition as the rest of the slots in this magazine.
When changing the number of I/E slots from 8 to 0 or 3, the entire upper left magazine will
automatically be assigned to one of the existing partitions, as determined by the original partition
configuration.
When the I/E setup is changed, it is highly recommended that the partition setup also be redone.
To identify how the I/E magazine is configured, view the Partitions report available from the Reports
menu.
The I/E slots are configured while running the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library, you
can later access the I/E Station configuration screens directly:
From the RMI, select Setup > Slots
From the FPI, select Setup > Slots
Configuring Cleaning Slots
The Setup Wizard Cleaning Slot Configuration screen prompts you to enter the number of cleaning
slots (if any) you want to designate for your library. You can also access the Cleaning Slot
Configuration screens directly from the front panel and remote management interface.
The Cleaning Slot configuration screen provides information on configuring dedicated cleaning slots,
which are used to store cleaning cartridges that the library uses to clean tape drives. These dedicated
cleaning slots are not visible to the host application.
Configuring one or more dedicated cleaning slots is required to enable the library's cleaning feature.
The library supports 0-3 cleaning slots. These are located in the three innermost slots (innermost
column) of the lower right magazine.
If the library has been previously configured, the number of cleaning slots that are currently
configured appears on the screen. Cleaning slots are shared by all partitions within a library. Each
partition can use a cleaning slot to manually clean its tape drive(s).
Caution
Configuring I/E slots with cartridges already loaded compromises data security.
First remove cartridges from the I/E slots and then configure the I/E slots.
