Importing Cartridges via Web Client
1 Select Operations > Media > Import.
2 If more than one partition exists, select the partition into which you
want to import cartridges and click Next.
3 The Import Media - Partition (Mode) screen displays, where
Partition is the name of the partition and Mode is the current mode
of the partition. This screen contains a list of cartridges in the I/E
station that are ready for import.
4 Identify the number of empty storage slots that appear in the
Empty Partition Slots field. The number of cartridges you can
import is limited to the number of empty slots that exist in the
partition.
5 Select the cartridges to import into the partition.
Note: You can select all cartridges by selecting the top check box.
You can use the Filter by Barcode text box to filter the
available cartridge barcodes. Click the Help button next to
the Find button for more information about filtering
barcodes. In addition, if not all cartridges appear on the
screen, use the Page 1 of x arrows to view the additional
cartridges.
Note: Bold column headings in the table can be sorted. For
example, selecting the Location column heading will sort
by location coordinates.
6 Click Apply.
7 Click OK to confirm it is OK to take the partition offline.
The library imports the tape cartridge(s) into the first empty slot(s)
in the partition.
Bulk Loading Tape
Cartridges
Bulk loading is another way to load media into the library. If zero I/E
station slots are configured, you will always need to bulk load cartridges
into the library. If I/E station slots have been configured, you may want
to perform an initial bulk load when you first start using your library.
The library will perform an inventory after the bulk load is complete.
