AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Using Your Tape Gateway
2. Choose the Slots icon to display all slots.
Note
When you import tapes into the robotic library, the tapes are stored in slots instead of tape
drives. Therefore, the tape drives might have a message that indicates there is no media in
the drives (No media). When you initiate a backup or restore job, the tapes are moved into
the tape drives.
You must have tapes available in your gateway tape library to import a tape into a storage
slot. For instructions on how to create tapes, see Adding Virtual Tapes (p. 178).
3. Open the context (right-click) menu for an empty slot, choose Import, and then choose Import
media now. In the following screenshot, slot number 3 is empty. You can select more than one slot
and import multiple tapes in a single import operation.
4. In the Media Request window that appears, choose View details.
5. In the Action Alert: Media Intervention window, choose Respond OK to insert the media into the
slot.
