Nonlabeled cartridges are NOT supported in SL8500 libraries. If a cartridge is found without a
label, it is:
A.
reported by the SLC
B.
exported
C.
left alone and flagged
D.
marked as a scratch tape
Explanation:
The HSC and ACSLS host software applications do not support unlabeled
cartridges
and will not allow them to be entered through the CAP. If you place an unlabeled
cartridge in a CAP, the host leaves it there and you must remove it from the CAP.
If you place an unlabeled cartridge into a storage cell manually, the Robot leaves it
there during a hardware audit and does not attempt to place another cartridge into the
slot. During an ACSLS or HSC audit, however, the host moves the cartridge to the CAP
for ejection from the library.
The library controller will not allow you to mount an unlabeled or unknown type
cartridge into any tape drive.
