Chapter 5 – Partitioning and Connecting to a Host

41

In this mode, the Exception Bit is set on any storage slots that contain a tape that has 
been logically exported. In addition, the Access Bit on those slots are cleared (so 
access is not allowed by the backup software). When the tapes are physically ejected 
from the front panel, the Exception Bit is cleared and the Access Bit is set.

In Queued Eject Mode, when an RES is issued the partition responds showing that it 
has only one E/E slot. This slot is shown as export-only, and it always accessible and 
empty. It works identically to the “virtual” E/E slot in Shared Mode.

Because there are NO E/E slots that are Import-Enabled, the only way to import tapes 
into a partition is to use the move queues or “bulk load” command from the front 
panel of the library. Once the tapes have been moved into the storage slots, a re-
inventory of the partition must be forced from the backup software to maintain the 
integrity of the inventory.

The library reports a single E/E slot: 

As with Shared Mode, the Exception Bit is set on any storage slots that contain a tape 
that has been logically exported. In addition, the Access Bit on those slots is cleared 
(so access is not allowed by the backup software). When an operator physically 
removes tapes from the partition – by using the “Eject Queued Tapes” button on the 
front panel – the tapes are physically moved to the eight E/E slots, and the Exception 
Bit is cleared from the source slots, the Exception Bit is cleared.

After you finish configuring or editing a partition, confirm and save the partition.
