This is the status of the library, which may be online, offline, notstarted, failed to start, stopping, creating or deleting. This indicates whether the library is connected. Possible values are: Connected - A client device is connected to any device (robotics or drive) within this library. Not Connected - No device is connected to this library. This is the emulation type used by the backup software. It is selected when you create a device. This is the number of slots available on the device, which is determined by the Emulation types for tape device selected when the device was created. You can reduce the number of slots in the Device Details tab for a library selected on this page, but this will only remove the highest empty slots. Once it reaches a slot number that contains data, it will not allow you to reduce the number further on this page, even if earlier slots are blank. You must first use the Cartridges tab to make the slot empty. Libraries page 15
