8.2.2.1. Rules for Exporting Volumes
Tape cartridges may be physically exported from any managing robotic library. To export a tape
cartridge from HPSS, the administrator must be familiar with the operation of the PVR from which the
cartridge will be removed because the physical cartridge ejection process differs among the PVRs
supported by HPSS:
• Operator - No cartridge ejection step is necessary (or possible).
• 3494 - When ejecting cartridges, HPSS will send cartridges to the convenience I/O port if it is
available. If the port is not available and a high capacity I/O region is defined, the cartridges will
be placed in that region. If no locations are available for the cartridge to be ejected, an alarm will
appear on the HPSS operator window and HPSS will retry the eject operation periodically.
• AML - The exported cartridges will be placed in the E/I/F ports and can then be manually
removed.
• LTO - When an HPSS tape export command is issued, the cartridges will be placed in the
input/output (I/O) stations and can then be manually removed.
• SCSI - When an HPSS tape export command is issued, the cartridges will be placed in the
input/output (I/O) slot and can then be manually removed.
• STK - The exported cartridges will be placed in the CAP and can then be manually removed. The
export operation is NOT completed until cartridges are manually removed.
Only imported but unallocated volumes can be exported. Volumes allocated to a Core Server can be
unallocated by deleting all Core Server metadata that describe the volume using the procedure described
in Section 8.2.1: Deleting Storage Resources on page 240.
When exporting a removable cartridge from a robot, the cartridges will normally be sent to the
convenience I/O port if it is available (this will not be done if the Export Without Eject option is used). If
no locations are available for the cartridge to be ejected, an alarm will appear on the Alarms and Events
window and HPSS will periodically retry the eject operation.
Use the Export Volumes window in the following section to perform the actual export operation.
