destination location by making the appropriate selections in the following pull-
down menus:

The following special selections are available on the pull-down menus:
■

Caution – If the library is partitioned, make sure to keep the cartridge in the same
partition it is currently allocated to. Moving a cartridge to a cell allocated to a different
partition could result in a host treating the cartridge as scratch and overwriting the
data. Moving the cartridge to an unallocated cell will result in the cartridge being
inaccessible to all hosts.
