The ST_slots 1 to 24 represent the 24 configured slots within the library. The IE_slot_1 represents the import/export slot of the library, also known as the Mail Slot in the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System Web Management Interface. Loading a cartridge into a library tape drive To load a cartridge into the tape drive, the mc -s -d command should be used. For example, to move a cartridge from slot 2 to the drive the command would be: # mc -p /dev/rac/c9t0d0 -s S2 -d D1 Unloading a cartridge from a library tape drive To unload a cartridge from the first tape drive and return it to storage slot 2, the command should be: # mc -p /dev/rac/c9t0d0 -s D1 -d S2 Moving a cartridge to the library Mail Slot To move a cartridge from storage slot 3 to the mail slot for exporting to an attached tape drive, the command will be: # mc -p /dev/rac/c9t0d0 -s S3 -d I1 Moving a cartridge from the library Mail Slot To move a cartridge from the Import/Export slot to Storage slot 4, following an import from an attached tape drive, the command will be: # mc -p /dev/rac/c9t0d0 -s I1 -d S4 Backup and restore files using TAR in HP-UX This section describes how to perform a simple backup and recovery of files to an HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System using the console applications; MC and TAR. In the examples, the library robotics is controlled using generic SCSI device file /dev/rac/c9t0d0 and the autoloader tape drive uses tape device file /dev/rmt/1mnb. The file to be backed up and restored is the HP-UX kernel. D2D Backup System 39
