The move and unload options may be useful to re-align the library configuration against the backup
application. For example, if the backup application has crashed or if the backup application does
not support the Move Medium command, the library and the backup application can become out
of sync.

NOTE:

You cannot move or unload cartridges that are in the delete pending, erase pending, or

create state.

To edit barcodes in bulk

After a library is created, the Edit Barcodes button appears at the bottom of the cartridges tab for
that library. This feature allows the barcodes of a batch of cartridges within the library to be
changed according to a user defined template which may contain a fixed prefix and/or suffix
value and a variable portion.

NOTE:

All characters within the barcode must be alpha-numeric (A-Z, 0–9). All alphabetic

characters will be capitalized upon application (regardless of how they are entered).

The values chosen for prefix, suffix, and starting value will limit how many barcodes can be
generated. For example, if you enter a 3 character prefix and 2 character suffix, you are limited
to 3 alpha-numeric characters for the variable portion which limits the total number of barcodes
to 46656 barcodes if the starting value for the variable portion is 000. Note that if 6 character
barcodes are selected, the uppermost characters of the barcode will not be reported to the backup
application; these may be part of the barcode prefix specified.

To edit barcodes:
1.

Click the Edit Barcodes button.

2.

In the Batch Update Barcodes dialog box, configure the following:

First Slot: Defines the number of the first slot in the library that will be with the batch.

Last Slot: Defines the number of the last slot in the library that will be updated with the
batch.

Prefix: Defines the first letter or numerical value for the barcodes. Accepts up the three
characters.

Start Value: Defines the numerical value of the first barcode variable field.

Suffix: Defines the suffix letter or numerical value for the barcodes. Accepts up to two
characters.
