86 Library Tab
After the home position is assigned to the cartridge, it becomes available for move operations. The Import
operation inserts the cartridge from a mailbox to the home position; the Dismount operation moves the
cartridge from a drive to the home position. If the Mount operation has been executed and the cartridge is
moved to a drive, the home position is saved and cannot be occupied by another cartridge. If the Export
operation has been executed, the cartridge is ejected from the library and becomes unavailable. However,
it saves the home position and if the
Inventory operation finds the ejected cartridge, it becomes available
again. Refer to Table 19 on page 84.
The cartridge relinquishes the home position only after the eject complete operation is executed from a
client side. The cartridge state is unloaded then. Refer to Table 19 on page 84.
The home position cannot be changed after it is assigned. Every operation returning the cartridge to a library
storage area puts it into the home position. The only exception is the
Move operation (it can be executed
from a client side as well); if the move destination is a storage slot, it will become a new home position of a
cartridge. The old home position is lost in that event.
Move Cartridge to Element
The Move operation transfers a cartridge from its current position to a selected destination. If the move
destination is a storage slot, it will become a new home position of a cartridge. The old home position is lost
then. Refer to
Home Position on page 85 for details.
After the Move button is pressed, a Move Cartridge to Destination pop-up window appears.
Figure 62 Move Cartridge to Destination
Select the destination area on the left. The list of slots for this area will be shown on the right (both partition-
name and LSCI coordinates are indicated).
CAUTION
Always import cartridges when they are first appeared in the mailbox area.
Otherwise there could be issues with a cartridge home position being the
mailbox slot.
CAUTION
The DAS and ROBAR clients mostly use the analog of Mount, Dismount,
Import, and Export commands, although they can execute Move command,
too. The SCSI clients use Move command only and therefore do not have the
home position-related features.
Note This operation is allowed only for the users with Expert move rights.
