How to assign data cartridges to a logical library in the TS3500 tape library.
About this task
Note: It is normal for a cleaning cartridge to be unassigned.
To
assign a data cartridge to a logical library in the TS3500 tape library, perform
the following steps:
Procedure
- From the Work Items navigation pane, select Cartridges
—> Data Cartridges. The Data Cartridges screen displays.
- Select the logical library to which the cartridge is currently
assigned and select how you want the cartridge range to be sorted.
(The library can sort the cartridge by volume serial number (VOLSER),
SCSI element address, or frame, column, and row location.) Select Search.
The Cartridges screen displays all ranges for the logical library
that you specified.
- Select the range that contains the data cartridge that
you want to assign.
- Select the data cartridge, then from the Select Action
drop-down list, select Assign, then select Go.
- In the Select a Logical Library pop-up window, select the
logical library to which you want to assign the data cartridge.
- Select Next to complete the function.
- When a message is displayed that the data cartridge is
assigned, select Close.
Note: If the cartridges
were assigned to a logical library that is attached to a 3953 L05 Library Manager, the operator
must initiate an inventory upload from the operator panel or through
the Web specialist of the 3953 L05 Library Manager. This action
is required because the inventory of the library manager does not
automatically update when data cartridges are assigned to logical
libraries through the Tape Library Specialist Web
interface of the TS3500 tape library.
