Cartridge Management

Recovery Moves

Note –

This feature is available starting with SL500 firmware version 1026 and

SL Console version 2.40.

Using the recovery move diagnostic function, you can move a cartridge from one

location to another. For example:

■

You can return a cartridge to its original location from a CAP cell, drive, or another

storage cell location.

■

You might decide to group cartridges by data type or to move them closer to their

assigned drives.

■

You can eject a cleaning or diagnostic cartridge that has expired.

■

You can enter a new cleaning or diagnostic cartridge and move it to a reserved

storage cell.

A cartridge currently in a storage cell can be moved only to a CAP, a reserved cell, or

another storage cell, not to a drive. A cartridge currently in a drive, CAP, or reserved

cell can be moved to any other unoccupied location in the library. See the following

procedures for complete details:

Before moving any cartridge, it is helpful to generate a Cartridge Summary Report,

which lists the contents of library storage cells. See

for details. This report helps you determine where cartridges are currently located and

which storage cells are unoccupied.
