Download the Cartridge Inventory
If desired, you can download the inventory for the selected partition as an
XML file. You can use the information in the downloaded inventory when
creating a move queue file (see Move Cartridges Using an ASCII Move File
on page 259).
 If you are using the BlueScale user interface from the operator panel,
the cartridge inventory is saved as an XML file on a USB device that is
connected to the LCM.
 If you are accessing the library using the BlueScale web interface, the
cartridge inventory is displayed using the XML format in a new
browser window on the computer that you are using to access the
library. From there you can save the file to a convenient location for
later use. If a USB device is connected to the LCM, you can also save the
XML file to the USB device.
The inventory lists the following information for all magazine slots in the
partition’s storage pool and entry/exit pool and for the drives in the
partition.
 For each slot and drive, the list shows the location ID and indicates
whether or not it is full (occupied).
 For each occupied slot or drive, the list also indicates the barcode
information of the cartridge.
Note: You can also use the XML command interface to obtain the full
inventory of the partition, including both full and empty slots
and drive numbers (see inventory.xml in the Spectra Tape Libraries
XML Command Reference).
Usage Requirements Downloading an XML file containing the current
cartridge inventory requires either a remote connection to the library using
the BlueScale web interface (RLC) or a USB device connected to the LCM.
Download the Inventory Use the following steps to download the
inventory.
1. Log into the library.
2. If you want to save the XML file containing the cartridge inventory to a
USB device, connect the device to the USB port on the LCM and allow
time for the device to mount before proceeding (see Connect a USB
Device to the Library on page 176).
3. From the toolbar menu, select General > Inventory. The Inventory
screen displays, showing the information for the last partition that was
viewed on either the Import/Export TeraPack Cases screen or the
Inventory screen.

drop-down list, then click Go (see Figure 145 on page 248).
