• Selected Destination — The location to which you want to move the cartridge.
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.
• The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the Web client, select Operations > Media > Move.
• From the operator panel, select Operations > Move Media.

Exporting Media
The Export Media operation enables you to export data cartridges from storage slots to empty I/E station slots for removal
from the library.
Note: If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or export media. See Configuring I/E Station Slots.
This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the host application, to export media. Using the library to export
media may necessitate performing an inventory of the library with the host application. Also, if the host application has issued
a prevent media removal command, you will not be able to use the library user interface to export media. See your host
application documentation for more information.
If you have AutoClean enabled, you can also export cleaning cartridges. For information, see
Exporting Cleaning Media.
Caution: Some host applications may fail import/export operations when the I/E station contains cartridges that are
assigned to another partition. Move cartridges from the I/E station as soon as possible to avoid possible conflicts with
the other partitions.
Details on exporting cartridges include:
• If the partition is online, it will be taken offline before the export operation is performed and brought back online after
the operation is complete. You will be asked to confirm that you want to take the partition offline.
• You can select only the partitions to which you have been given access.
• You can only export cartridges if empty I/E station slots are available.
• You must have access to the library's I/E station and the operator panel to import cleaning cartridges.
You need to provide the following information in the Export Media screens to export media:
• Partition — The partition from which you want to export cartridges. The screens include information about the
partition mode (online or offline) and the number of empty I/E station slots. The number of cartridges you can export
is limited to the number of empty slots.
• Media — The tape cartridges that you want to export.
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.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the Web client, select Operations > Media > Export.
• From the operator panel, select Operations > Export 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.
Loading Tape Drives
The Load Drive operation enables you to load a cartridge from a storage slot into a tape drive. The storage slot and tape
drive must be assigned to the same partition.
