Chapter 4 Running Your LibraryPerforming Media OperationsScalar i500 User’s Guide 131Unused Slots 4Each library configuration contains a limited number of slots that are notaccessible to the robot. The slot counts in this User’s Guide do not includethese unusable slots.In any library configuration, the picker cannot access the bottom slot ineach column in the lowest module in the stack due to the fact that there isnot enough clearance at the bottom of the library for the robotic picker.When bulkloading the library, do not insert storage or cleaning tapes intothe bottom row of the lowest module in the library configuration.Moving Media 4 Once media has been imported into the library, you can use the MoveMedia operation to move a single data cartridge between tape drives andslots within a partition.This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the hostapplication, to move media. Using the library to move media maynecessitate performing an inventory of the library with the hostapplication. See your host application documentation for moreinformation.Details on using the library to move media include:• If the partition is online, it will be taken offline before the move isperformed and brought back online after the move is complete. Youwill be asked to confirm that you want to take the partition offline.• You can select only the partitions to which you have been givenaccess.• You can only move media within one partition at a time.Note: If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot movecartridges to and from the I/E station. See Configuring I/EStation Slots on page 73.
