Cartridge states

The State column in the Cartridges table lists the current state for each cartridge.

Note: The GUI reports the same cartridge States as the REST API, which are listed below. The difference is that the GUI does not combine multiple words and uses mixed case. For example, the GUI reports Failed Verification and Importing states instead of failedVerification and importing.

Table 1.
State	Description
`unknown`	The state recorded by firmware for this resource is unknown. Reset the LCC node card and contact IBM for support if issue persists.
`failedVerification`	The cartridge failed last verification. You may need to migrate the data to another cartridge.
`atEndOfLife`	The cartridge has 0% useful life remaining and may no longer be covered by warranty. Migrate data to another cartridge.
`assignmentRequired`	The cartridge is in a slot but is unassigned to a logical library because an empty import/export element (IEE) address is not currently available for assignment. The cartridge must be manually assigned to the logical library or removed from the library.
`uncertainBarcode`	Possible mismatch between a scanned bar code label and the copy of the bar code stored on cartridge memory. The library will try to resolve on the next mount/demount cycle of this cartridge. If issue persists, contact IBM Support.
`exportQueued`	The cartridge is queued to be moved to an I/O station.
`importing`	The cartridge is being imported. The import is complete when the host application performs a move of the cartridge.
`verifying`	Verification in a media verification drive in progress.
`lifetimeRemaining`	The percentage of useful life remaining for the cartridge
`normal`	The cartridge status is normal.
