Table 5 Cartridge parameters Location: The Location column identifies each element of the library that is available to hold a cartridge. There are three types of element: • Mail slot: which is a dedicated slot that is used to hold a cartridge that is ready for exporting to or importing from physical tape. Cartridges are moved into the mail slot by the backup application on the host machine , but there is also a Move Cartridge drop-down menu in Edit mode. • Tape drive: which is populated when there is activity on a cartridge. You can also move a cartridge into a tape drive by using the Move Cartridge drop-down menu in Edit mode. • Slot n: which is one of the standard library slots Barcode: A barcode is an 8- or 6-digit, alphanumeric, unique identifier for a cartridge within the HP StoreOnce Backup System. Barcodes are shared with the backup application, if requested. The backup application may also choose to assign its own internal identifier to the cartridge but, if it does so, it cannot assign this identifier to the Cartridge ba code. Barcodes are generated automatically but may be edited by the user. If you choose to edit the barcode: • It must be unique and must not start with the letters "CLN" or "DG" because these are reserved designations for cleaning and diagnostic cartridges. • It should be a minimum of 4 characters. Valid ASCII characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, space and hyphen. Anything less than 8 characters will be appended with space characters. Mapped Slot: Used Size: This checkbox indicates whether the slot is included in a replication mapping configuration. It cannot be edited from this page. This shows the actual used capacity in MB or GB. If this is Blank, the cartridge may be deleted using the delete icon, see below. Non-blank cartridges cannot be removed so the Remove button will not be shown. Only Blank cartridges can be removed from the mail slot. Backup System user guide 25
