<h1 class="topictitle1">Make cartridges available to the tape library inventory</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Before you can use the tape library, it must have media loaded
|
|
and made available.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>If a tape library is empty, open the door and insert all available
|
|
media into the empty slots. This can be done to save time rather than inserting
|
|
only a small number at a time through the convent input/output (I/O) station.
|
|
When the door is closed, the tape library will inventory the contents. Each
|
|
cartridge ID is noted and recorded in the operating system and Library Manager
|
|
(if present).</p>
|
|
<p>Most tape libraries provide an (I/O) station for adding
|
|
cartridges without interrupting any automatic operations. An I/O station can
|
|
have multiple slots or just a single slot. Some tape libraries have no I/O
|
|
station. For these tape libraries, cartridges are added by stopping the automation
|
|
and opening the door to access the storage slots.</p>
|
|
<p>Tape cartridges that
|
|
are placed in the 3494 i/o station are moved to a storage slot by the 3494
|
|
Library Manager software. For other tape libraries, the tape cartridges remain
|
|
in the i/o station until you make them available using iSeries™ Navigator. When you make a cartridge
|
|
available you must specify a category of media. Also, making a cartridge available
|
|
changes the cartridge status.</p>
|
|
<p>To make a cartridge available do the following
|
|
steps:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li><span>In iSeries Navigator,
|
|
expand <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">My Connections</span> > <span class="uicontrol">your iSeries
|
|
server</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Configuration and Service</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Hardware</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Tape Devices</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Tape Libraries</span> > <span class="uicontrol">your
|
|
tape library</span></span>.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Select <span class="uicontrol">Cartridges</span>.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Right-click a cartridge with a status of Inserted that you want
|
|
to make available and select <span class="uicontrol">Make Available</span>. You can
|
|
select multiple cartridges to add to a category.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>You can also use the Add Tape Cartridge (ADDTAPCTG) command to
|
|
make a cartridge available.</p>
