Chapter 7 – Using the Library

67

In a shared EE port environment, the eight EE port slots, called import slots, are only 
visible to one partition at a time. At all other times the eight import slots are 
unavailable. This prevents tapes from accidently being swapped back and forth 
between partitions. 

When the host software wants to eject a tape, it moves the tape to the ninth EE slot, 
however, no physical move happens. Instead, the library marks the slot with the 
exception flag and reports the slot as Reserved for Front Panel. This prevents the host 
software from moving the tape and lets the front panel eject the tape at a later time.

After a tape is queued for ejecting, an asterisk (circled in Figure 23) appears next to the 
queued tape on the partition inventory screen. Select the Eject Queued Tapes button to 
physically eject the queued tapes from the library.

The library now includes the following metrics for monitoring the 
operation of your library and its drives. 

ƒ Monitoring Drive Performance on page 68
ƒ Monitoring Power Consumption on page 69
ƒ Monitoring Storage Density on page 70

You must enable the metrics before they can be used (see Configuring Metrics 
Monitoring on page 48).
