2. Using an ASCII text editor, create a file containing the list of moves you
want to configure. Each line of the move queue file must specify a
source and destination separated by a delimiter.
The format of each line is:
[source_id][source#][delimiter][destination_id][destination#]
where:
Note: The slot numbers and drive numbers are assigned by the library.
For this variable... The possible values are... Description...
source_id SLOT
— The cartridge is moved from
a slot in the storage pool.
EE
— The cartridge is moved from a
slot in the entry/exit pool.
DRIVE
— The cartridge is moved
from the drive.
BC

source# A positive integer for all source_id
values except BC.
The human-readable barcode label
character string if the source_id is BC.
Important: If the cartridge does not
have a valid barcode label, then you
must specify both the element type
for the source_id and the number of
the slot in the entry/exit or storage
pool or the number of the drive
where the cartridge is located for the
source#.
Specifically identifies the cartridge to
be moved, either by the ID of the slot
or drive where it is currently located
or by the barcode label on the
cartridge.
If the source_id is SLOT or EE, this
value is the number assigned to
the slot where the cartridge is
currently located. Locate the
<offset> parameter for the desired
cartridge in the downloaded
inventory file and use that value as
the source#.
If the source_id is DRIVE, this value
is the number of the drive where
the cartridge is currently located.
Locate the <offset> parameter for
the drive in the downloaded
inventory file and use that value as
the source#.
If the source_id is BC, this value is
the human-readable barcode
character string for the cartridge to
be moved. Locate the <barcode>
parameter for the desired cartridge
in the downloaded inventory file
and use that value as the source#.
