40 Configuring Your Library
Administrative users can also clean tape drives manually. For information, see Manually Cleaning Tape
Drives on page 66.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the web client, select Setup > Cleaning Slots .
• From the operator panel, select Setup > Cleaning Slots .
Configuring I/E Station Slots
I/E station slots are used to import and export tape cartridges into and out of the library without disrupting
normal library operations. The
Setup Wizard: I/E Station screens allow you to configure I/E Station slots.
Administrative users can also configure these slots by selecting Setup > I/E Station Slots on either the
operator panel or the web client.
Each control module contains six I/E station slots, and each expansion module contains 12 I/E station slots.
The available library configurations support a minimum of six I/E slots in the 5U library to a maximum of 18
I/E slots in the 14U library configuration. You can also choose to configure zero I/E station slots and use all
slots in all I/E stations for tape cartridge storage. For more information on configuring zero I/E slots, see
Configuring Zero I/E Station Slots on page 41.
Each I/E station (6-slot or 12-slot) is configured as a complete unit. When configuring an I/E station,
configure all the slots in the I/E station the same way: all storage or all I/E slots.
If the library consists of a 5U control module, all six I/E station slots must be configured either as storage or
as I/E station slots. A 14U library consists of a 5U control module (with six I/E station slots) and a 9U
expansion module (with 12 station slots). All 12 of the slots in the 9U expansion module must be configured
the same way, as either I/E station slots or storage slots. Therefore, a 14U library can contain a minimum
of six and a maximum of 18 dedicated I/E station slots.
Table 6 on page 41 lists the number of I/E station
slots available per library for all base library configurations.
Details on configuring I/E station slots include:
• Before configuring I/E station slots, remove all tape cartridges from the I/E station slots.
• The default number of dedicated I/E slots is six. If you accept the Setup Wizard default
configuration settings, six I/E slots will be created in the control module.
• If you increase the size of your 5U library by adding a 9U expansion module, the I/E stations in the
new module will be storage slots by default. You can select to reconfigure these slots as I/E slots.
Note
Cleaning slots are not visible to the host application. To choose host-based
cleaning, do not configure any cleaning slots, and configure your host
application to manage cleaning tape drives. Configuring cleaning slots on the
library may affect the host application. See your host application
documentation for information.
Note
This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrative
users logged in from different locations. You can access the screen, but you
cannot apply changes while another administrative user is performing the same
operation.
Note
I/E station slots can only be configured if no partitions have already been
configured. If partitions are configured, you must delete the partitions before
configuring I/E station slots. See
Deleting Partitions on page 37.
