Exporting Tape
Cartridges
The Export Media operation enables you to export data cartridges from
storage slots to empty I/E station slots for removal from the library.
Details on exporting cartridges include:
• Exporting cartridges using the library Web client may necessitate
performin
g an inventory on your host application. If the host
application has issued a prevent media removal command to the
library, you will not be able to use the library Web client to export
cartridges. In addition, you can export cartridges using your host
application. For more information, see your host application
documentation.
• If the partition is online, it will be taken offline before the export is
performed, and
brought back online after the export is complete.
You will be asked to confirm that you want to take the partition
offline.
• If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot export
cartri
dges. See
Configuring I/E Station Slots on page 63.
• If you have AutoClean enabled, you can also export cleaning
cartr
idges. For information, see
