dialog box.
• Make sure that your scratch tapes are formatted
and contain no data that cannot be overwritten.

Also, you might find it useful to write down the
volser number so that you can identify your
scratch tapes.
• This procedure will not damage any cartridges
that are already installed in the library. You can
load both LTO and DLT scratch cartridges if

• If the scratch cartridge becomes lodged in a
drive or magazine, it must be manually
removed from the library. If not removed, the
cartridge will become part of the partition the
next time the accessor assembly is enabled.
