HP Compaq StorageWorks TL881 DLT Mini-Library - Manual (Page 51)

Operation 2-25
The * at the left of line 2 disappears. This is because the * indicates the current
selection or the default selection, and you have scrolled the default selection
offscreen, and haven’t yet selected an item from the list.
NOTE: The contents of the lists on line 2 and line 4 will vary as follows:
Initial Screen - ‘From’ Line
The list on line 2 in Figure 2–29 (the ‘From’ line) will include every drive and
every magazine slot (including mail slots) that has a cartridge in it (you can’t
get a cartridge from a slot or drive that is empty).
Initial Screen - ‘To’ Line
The list on line 4 of Figure 2–29 (the ‘To’ line) will include all of the valid
destination choices, that is, drives and slots that are empty (you can’t put a
cartridge into a slot or drive which already has one in it).
Scroll List - ‘To’ Line
There is another limitation on the ‘To’ list. If you have selected a drive on the
‘From’ screen, the ‘To’ list can include only slots. If you have selected a slot
on the ‘From’ screen, the ‘To’ list can contain only drives.
Let us assume that you want to load the cartridge that is in Slot 4 into any
available drive. Use the
button to scroll line two to Slot 4. The screen
shown n Figure 2–30 appears:
SHR-1452
From:
SLot4
To:
*DLT0
Figure 2-31. Load/Unload ‘From‘ Entry Screen
When you have scrolled to your desired source, press the Enter button to select it.
Notice that in Figure 2–30, two changes occur in the display.
The * reappears at the beginning of line 2, indicating that you have made a
selection.
The now moves to line 4, indicating that you may now select a destination.
