Field Description
Location Identifies each element of the library available to hold a cartridge. The
types of elements are:
• Mail slot: a dedicated slot used to hold a cartridge that is ready for
exporting to or importing from physical tape. The Mail slot is not used
with StoreOnce models.
• Tape drive: populated when there is activity on a cartridge. You can
move a cartridge into a tape drive by using the Move Cartridge drop-
down menu in Edit mode.
• Slot n: one of the standard library slots.
Barcode A barcode is an 8– or 6–character, alphanumeric, unique identifier for a
cartridge within the StoreOnce System. See Device Details tab for
barcode information.
Mapped Slot Check box indicates whether the slot is included in a replication mapping
configuration. It cannot be edited from this page.
Used Size The actual used capacity in MB or GB.
Max Size Defaults to the appropriate capacity for the drive emulation type selected
on the Devices tab. This value may be changed if the Used Size is Blank.
The maximum value allowed is 3200 GB.
Write Protected Check box that enables (checked) and disables (unchecked) write
protection, see Write protecting a cartridge on page 36.
Last Written Identifies when the cartridge was last written to and is useful when
identifying data for copying or exporting.
NOTE: Additional columns appear when function buttons are selected below, such as Create, Move, and
Delete.
Empty slots
Empty slots are slots containing no cartridges and all the fields are empty.
• Tape drive row: A library consists of two devices: a tape drive and changer device. This location refers
to the tape drive element of the library and is normally only populated when the backup application on
the host is writing to or reading from the library.
• Mail slot row: This location is the slot used for importing and exporting cartridges from a library. It is
provided by StoreOnce virtual libraries for compatibility with backup applications but is not used.
• Numbered slot row: This slot is empty after a
Delete
operation or after the backup application has moved data to the mail slot for export.
