Configuration
Planning
Understanding
Cartridge
Assignment
in
the
Library
When
a
cleaning
or
data
cartridge
is
placed
in
the
I/O
Station,
the
library
scans
the
I/O
Station,
then
a
screen
is
displayed
asking
you
to
assign
the
cartridge
to
″
System
″
or
to
a
logical
library.
Cleaning
cartridges
are
assigned
to
″
System
″
which
makes
them
available
to
all
drives
regardless
of
the
logical
library
to
which
the
drive
is
assigned.
Data
cartridges
are
assigned
to
a
logical
library
which
restricts
them
from
being
accessed
by
another
logical
library.
A
drive
Firmware
(FMR)
cartridge
placed
in
the
I/O
Station
for
drive
firmware
update
must
also
be
assigned
as
a
SYSTEM
cartridge
when
the
assignment
screen
is
presented
after
the
I/O
Station
door
is
closed.
Selecting
CANCEL
or
allowing
the
assignment
screen
to
time
out
will
default
all
newly
discovered
cartridges
in
the
I/O
Station
as
SYSTEM
cartridges.
Once
a
cartridge
is
assigned
to
″
System
″
or
to
a
logical
library,
the
cartridge
must
be
physically
exported
from
the
library
to
the
I/O
Station,
then
moved
to
a
different
slot
in
the
I/O
Station
before
it
can
be
reassigned
to
a
new
destination
within
the
library.
If
the
cartridge
is
left
in
the
same
I/O
Station
slot,
the
library
will
retain
the
same
assignment,
even
if
the
I/O
Station
door
is
opened
and
closed.
Cartridges
that
are
placed
in
the
I/O
Station
before
the
library
is
powered
ON
will
not
have
an
initial
assignment.
To
″
force
″
an
assignment
screen
for
newly
discovered
cartridges,
the
I/O
Station
must
be
opened
and
then
closed.
Shuffling
of
the
cartridges
to
different
I/O
Station
slots
is
not
necessary.
Previously
assigned
cartridges
prior
to
power
OFF
and
remaining
in
the
same
I/O
Station
slots
will
retain
their
original
assignment.
Cleaning
Slots
Configuration
Zero
to
four
(0
to
4)
cleaning
slots
can
be
configured
in
your
library.
These
slots
are
taken
from
the
unassigned
available
storage
slots.
Cleaning
cartridges
in
these
slots
are
used
by
the
library’s
Auto
Clean
function
when
the
drives
request
cleaning.
