Spectra Stack Tape Library - LTO-9 New Media Initialization

LTO-9 NEW MEDIA INITIALIZATION
The LTO-9 cartridge initialization includes a media calibration process that increases
the initialization time to up to two hours per cartridge. To assist with this, you can
use this wizard to start a bulk initialization of LTO-9 cartridges in the tape library.
IMPORTANT
After the LTO-9 New Media Initialization starts, it is possible to abort the
process; however, any media that has been loaded into a drive MUST
complete its initialization before the wizard aborts and the processing of
remaining media stops. Shutting down the initialization process can take up
to two hours.
IMPORTANT
All Spectra Certified LTO-9 media is initialized before it ships and does not
need to go through this process.
Use the instructions below to initialize LTO-9 media using the LTO-9 New Media
Initialization Wizard.
1. Navigate to the Maintenance > LTO-9 New Media Initialization Wizard screen.
