4.2.4.4 Mailslots
Mailslots are used to import/export individual cartridges without interrupting library
operation. The time-consuming inventory of all the cartridges is consequently not required
when a magazine is inserted. Always use the mailslot to import/export cartridges.
Mailslots are always activated in BS2000 operation. Consequently 3 fewer slots are
available for storing cartridges in BS2000 operation. BS2000 can use 9 slots in the left-hand
magazine and 12 slots in the right-hand one.
As soon as the mailslots are enabled, the three associated slots are no longer visible from
BS2000, i.e. the
/SHOW-TAPE-STATUS <mn>,INFO=CARTRIDGE command does not show these
slots. These three slots are consequently not available to accommodate cartridges.
