Procedure
1. Navigate to the Operation > Move Media.
2. Select the cartridge from Source Elements.
Available source elements are tape drives, enabled mailslots, and storage slots that contain a data
cartridge.
Tape drives are listed at the top of each element list and listed in the order of their drive numbers. Tape
drives are numbered from the physical top of the library starting with Drive (1).
Slots are listed in the order of the slot numbers. Slots are numbered m.s, where m is the module
number and s is the slot within the module.
3. To see a subset of the cartridges in the library, enter some or all of the barcode label characters in the
search area and click Search.
The Source Element list updates to display only the cartridges with labels that include the characters
in the search box.
4. To perform a different search or display all of the available cartridges, click Barcode Filter Off.
5. Select the destination location from Destination Elements.
Available destination elements are tape drives, enabled mailslots, and storage slots that do not contain
a data cartridge.
IMPORTANT:
Do not install cartridges in any of the eight lowest storage slots in the library. If the library detects
cartridges in the eight lowest slots, it will mark them as inaccessible and will not use them for
backup operations.
6. Click Submit.
Opening a magazine from the RMI
• Opening a magazine will take the library off line.
• The magazines will relock after 30 seconds.
• If a host application set the Prevent Media Removal (PMR) setting for a magazine, the library displays
Removal Prevented instead of the Open button. If you must open the magazine manually, have the
application release the PMR setting for the magazine.
Procedure
1. Navigate to the Operation > Open Magazine screen.
2. Click Open for the magazine.
The library will release the lock and illuminate the magazine release button LED.
The library will release the lock. On the MSL3040, the library will illuminate the magazine release
button LED.
3. When the OCP displays a message saying that the magazine has been unlocked, pull the magazine
out of the library to access the storage slots.
