• The library imports or exports a cartridge from the I/E station door.
While the library is attempting to import or export a tape from a
given I/E station slot, only the associated I/E station door is locked
in the closed position. All other I/E station doors remain accessible.
On a Get command from an I/E station slot, the associated I/E
station door remains locked until the media has been successfully
moved to its destination. This allows the media to be returned to the
I/E station slot in the event of a Put error.
• A user has requested that the I/E station door be locked.
• The application software has locked the I/E station as part of the
normal tape movement process.
