Chapter 3 Configuring Your Library
Configuring I/E Station Slots
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 82
• All slots in an I/E station must be configured the same way: as either
storage or I/E slots. For this reason, if your library includes one or
more expansion modules and you configure an even number of I/E
slots greater than six, the control module I/E station may be
configured automatically as storage.
• If the I/E station is configured as data storage slots, its door is always
locked. For information on unlocking I/E stations, see Locking and
Unlocking the I/E Stations on page 266.
• I/E station slots are shared by all partitions within a library.
• To identify how a specific I/E station magazine is configured, view
the
Library Configuration report available from the Reports menu on
the Web client. See Viewing the Library Configuration Report
on
page 272.
Configuring Zero I/E
Station Slots 3
Configuring zero I/E slots increases the number of storage slots in your
library but has the following consequences:
• You will not be able to use the I/E station to import and export tape
cartridges, including cleaning media.
• You will be required to open the library access door to bulk load and
unload tape cartridges, disrupting library operations. See Bulk
Loading on page 250.
• You will not be able to manually clean tape drives with a cleaning
cartridge.
For more information on using the I/E station to import and export
media, see Running Your Library
on page 241.
Caution: Configuring I/E station slots with cartridges already
loaded compromises data security. First, remove
cartridges from the I/E station and then configure the I/E
station slots.
Note: This operation cannot be performed concurrently by multiple
administrators logged in from different locations. You can
access the screen, but you cannot apply changes while another
administrator is performing the same operation.
