until the door is unlocked, and then repeat step 2 through step 4.
Locking and Unlocking an HLI CAP
An unlocked CAP is reserved by the library and unavailable to all hosts until it is
locked. Always attempt to unlock the CAP or AEM access door using the host
software before using SLC.
Caution:
To prevent equipment damage, do not force the CAP to
open or close.
Note:
For HLI hosts, you can select a CAP for the eject operation. For
FC-SCSI hosts, the library uses CAPs in a pre-defined order (see
Usage Order when Ejecting Cartridges with FC-SCSI Hosts"
Caution:
To prevent data loss, do not leave expired cleaning
cartridges in the CAP. The library will treat expired cleaning
cartridges as new.
