Important
If a cartridge is write-protected when it is inserted into a drive, the library cannot
update the MLM information on the cartridge’s MAM.
Important
The discovery process cannot begin while the library is actively loading cartridges
into drives. If you import cartridges during this time, the library posts a failure
message stating that no drives are available. Either wait until the library is idle
before importing cartridges or start the discovery process for the imported
cartridges manually when the library is idle.
