Media Move
Use the MediaMove page to move a virtual tape cartridge from a source location (drive, storage slot, or I/E
slot) to a destination location (drive, storage slot, or I/E slot). The location and destination must be in the
same partition.
Note:If you do not create and associate a host access group with a partition, the virtual devices are not
visible from the host, and drives cannot be destinations for move operations (see Remote Host Access
on page 237).
Caution:Moving a virtual tape cartridge might disrupt backup jobs.
To access the MediaMove page, on the Media page, click the Move tab (see Figure 147 on the next page).
