Moving Tape Cartridges with the SL150 User Interface
6-12 StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library User's Guide
If you do not insert the mail slot smoothly, you may fail to engage the latch and
may trigger needless, multiple re-audits of the mail slot. Note that the library will
not be able to access mail slot positions until the mail slot is positively latched.
3. If you are loading tapes into the library or one of its partitions, go to "Import Tape
Cartridges" on page 6-9.
4. Otherwise, when the mailslot is closed, unassign the mailslot.
Unassign the Mailslot
You should unassign the mail slot from a partition when you are finished with it so

The Unassign Mailslot dialog appears.
4. To close the dialog and leave the mail slot assignment unchanged, press Cancel.
5. To unassign the mail slot and close the dialog, press OK.

The Unassign Mailslot dialog appears.

user interface.
Most often, you use the user interface to move diagnostic and cleaning media between
the system reserved slots and the mailslot. You generally want a backup or
storage-management application to move data tapes, so that it can keep track of them.
Moving data cartridges with the browser-based user interface can cause application
catalog inconsistencies that force time-consuming audits.
When you need to move tape cartridges, use the following procedure:
