Importing and Exporting Cartridges Using the Mailslot
When you need to import cartridges into a library or partition or export them from a
library or partition, use the SL150 mailslot (also known as the cartridge access port or
CAP). The standard mailslot holds up to four cartridges. The optional, expanded
magazine holds up to nineteen.
To load or unload cartridges using the mail slot, carry out the following tasks:
■ Assign the Mailslot to the Required Partition (if the library is partitioned)
■ Import Tape Cartridges or Export Tape Cartridges
■ Open the Mailslot
■ Close the Mailslot
■ Unassign the Mailslot.
Assign the Mailslot to the Required Partition
Host applications must have exclusive control over the media that they use. So, if your
library is partitioned for the use of two separate host applications, you must assign the
mail slot to the partition that controls the media that you need to export or import. You
may proceed in either of two ways, depending on where you are at the moment:
■ Assign the Mailslot to a Host Partition Using the Remote User Interface
