Exporting Media

9

The Export Media operation enables you to export data cartridges from

storage slots to empty I/E station slots for removal from the library.

This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the host

application, to export media. Using the library to export media may

necessitate performing an inventory of the library with the host

application. Also, if the host application has issued a prevent media

removal command, you will not be able to use the library user interface to

export media. See your host application documentation for more

information.
If you have AutoClean enabled, you can also export cleaning cartridges.

For information, see

Exporting Cleaning Media

on page 181.

Note:

You can filter the list of media by entering all or part of a

barcode in the

Search

text box. Use an asterisk (*) to search

with wildcards. You can also sort the list by clicking on

columns with bold headings. For example, selecting the

Location

column heading sorts the list by location coordinates.

Note:

If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or

export media. See

Configuring I/E Station Slots

on page 81.
