TS2900 Tape Autoloader Setup, Operator, and Service Guide
Select a cartridge to display information for that cartridge in the Source pane on the
right side of the page. Drag the cartridge to a valid destination location to display
information in the Destination pane. Release the mouse button to execute the move.
The following information is displayed:
• Source
– Location coordinates in the library (Column, Tier)
– Slot type (storage, I/O Station, cleaning)
– Element address
– Cartridge label
– Encryption capability for storage cartridges (Model S4H only)
– Remaining uses for cleaning cartridges
– Media status (OK, Degraded, or Failed)
• Destination
– Status (for the tape drive)
– Slot type and element address
Note: Each column has a spring loaded mechanism that pushes the cartridges into
Tier 1. Moving a second cartridge into a column moves the first cartridge into
Tier 2. Also, cartridges cannot be moved directly from Tier 1 in one column to
Tier 2 in another column in a single move operation (intermediate move
operations are required).
Note: Cartridges cannot be moved to the Accessor using this command, however,
but can be moved from the Accessor using this command if, for example, the
library was powered OFF with a cartridge still held in the Accessor.
Unloading the Drive

Use Manage Library
→
Unload Drive and click Unload to unload the tape cartridge
from the tape drive head.
The cartridge in the drive is unloaded from the tape head mechanism, but is still
retained inside the tape drive housing. Moving a tape cartridge from a drive to
another location both unloads and moves the cartridge in a single action.
Cleaning the Drive Manually

cartridge to use (from the magazine or from the I/O Station), and click Clean .
The cleaning cartridge is returned to its home position when cleaning is finished.
