NOTE:

If a tape is in a newly unmapped section of a library, the tape will be moved to the

firesafe. If the tape has not expired and been deleted from the firesafe, upon remapping of
the section, the tape will move back and be removed from the firesafe.

To add slot mapping to any copy pool which does not have slots mapped:

2.

Select the appropriate copy pool to display the copy pool details screen.

slot for the copy pool from the available slot ranges listed.

5.

Select Add.

The copy pool details screen refreshes and the message, “The slot map was successfully added
to [copy pool name]” displays.

To change slot mapping on a copy pool that already has slots mapped:
1.

On the System tab, check the capacity of the copy pool to ensure there is room for copies.

2.

From the copy pool details screen on the Automigration/Replication tab, select Edit Slot Maps
on the taskbar.

The Edit Slot Map window displays.

3.

In the Current Slots section, select Edit for the slots you want to edit. The EDIT SLOT MAP
window opens.

Change the Start and End slots.

5.

Select Submit.

If the change is successful, the copy pool details window displays, including the message,
“The slot map was successfully changed”.

If the start and/or end slot is outside the available range, the EDIT SLOT MAP window refreshes
and displays “The start and end slot define an invalid range.”

6.

If the slot map is not changed due to a slot range error, repeat this procedure and select slots
within an available range.

Changing the Slot Mapping for a LAN/WAN Library

Slot mapping in the case of replication refers to the assignment of virtual slots in a library to
correspond to a specific LAN/WAN replication target. Mapping occurs as a LAN/WAN replication
target is created; however, mapping can be changed at any time. Reasons to change the slot
mapping include the need for a group of slots to expand the number of slots on the LAN/WAN
replication target, the need to shrink an existing LAN/WAN replication target, and the desire to
rearrange the mapping so that the LAN/WAN replication targets correspond to a consecutive set
of slots.
To remove the slot mapping of any copy pool:
1.

Select the Automigration/Replication tab.

2.

Expand LAN/WAN Replication Libraries in the navigation tree, and then expand the
appropriate library.

3.

Select Copy Pools in the navigation tree.
