The slot table contains one row for each slot in an optical library. The DB2 name of the slot table is SLOT. The table is defined in table space OCSLTTSP. The row for each slot gives the status of the slot. Also, a row exists for the optical library input/output station and the optical library cartridge access mechanism. Table 1 describes the attributes of the columns in the SLOT table.

The combination of NAME and OLIBRARY must be unique for each slot defined in the slot table because there is a partitioned index on the NAME and OLIBRARY columns.
During OAM initialization, all necessary rows are inserted into the slot table based on the optical libraries defined in the library table.
The occupied status and operational status columns in the slot table require specific values:
