Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 User’s Guide 59
You need to provide the following information in the Import Media screens to import media:
• Partition — the partition into which you want to import the cartridges. The screen lists only the
partitions to which you have been given access. The screen includes information about the partition
mode (online or offline) and the number of empty slots in the partition. The number of cartridges you
can import is limited to the number of empty slots.
• Media — the cartridges that you want to import.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the web client, select Operations > Media > Import .
• From the operator panel, select Operations > Import Media .
For step-by-step procedures, see the library’s online Help. To access the online Help system, click the Help
icon at the top right of the web client or operator panel user interface.
Bulkloading
Bulkloading is another way to load media into the library. If zero I/E station slots have been configured, you
will always need to bulkload cartridges into the library. If I/E station slots have been configured, you may
want to perform an initial bulkload when you first start using your library. The library will perform an inventory
after the bulkload is complete.
Before bulkoading, print out the Library Configuration report from the web client to see how the physical
slots of the library are configured. The report shows what slots are unavailable or configured as cleaning
slots or as I/E station slots. For information on accessing the report, see
Viewing the Library Configuration
on page 69.
When I/E station slots have been configured as I/E slots, the I/E station door is unlocked, and you can open
the main access door to the library. When all I/E station slots are configured as storage, the I/E station door
is always locked. You will not be able to open the main access door to bulkload tape cartridges into the
library without first unlocking the I/E station door. If possible, bulkload the library before configuring the I/E
station slots as storage. Otherwise, unlock the I/E station door. For information on locking and unlocking the
I/E stations, see
Locking and Unlocking the I/E Stations on page 66. For information on configuring I/E
station slots, see Configuring I/E Station Slots on page 40.
To perform an initial bulkload, open the access door and manually insert directly into storage slots as many
cartridges as you plan to use. The cartridges will not go in all the way if they are inserted incorrectly.
Note
You can filter the list of media by entering all or part of a barcode in the Search
text box. Use an asterisk (*) to search with wildcards. You can also sort the list
by clicking on columns with bold headings. For example, selecting the
Location column heading sorts the list by location coordinates
CAUTION
Place cartridges in their appropriately configured slot location; for example,
cleaning cartridges should not be placed in slots configured for storage.
Note
When you open the main access door to load tape cartridges into the library,
the library will automatically generate a Reliability, Availability, and
Serviceability (RAS) ticket, alerting you to the fact that the door was opened.
For information on resolving a RAS ticket, see
About RAS Tickets on page 153.
