How do we reserve cells for cleaning/diagnostic tapes in SL500
 

Solution

1. Ensure the SL500 library is not being used. Stop all backup job and offline the library.

2. Remove any data cartridges from the top 2 cells of column 1 and replace with cleaning cartridges.

    The following example shows slots in use which need to be removed:

                     Location : 0,1,1,1
                    Location Type : cell
                    Media Type : LtoGen5_1500GB
                    Type : data
                    Cartridge : HB2055L5

                    Location : 0,1,1,2
                    Location Type : cell
                    Media Type : LtoGen5_1500GB
                    Type : data
                    Cartridge : HM2030L5
         
3. Connect to CLI port of library or ssh to the SL500

# ssh service@<ipaddress>

sr1-csin05-02:/lab 244 % ssh service@10.186.82.119
Password:

SERVICE>> reserved print
Library Settings:
   Reserved Cell Count: 0

4. Change the reserved cell from 0 to 2

SERVICE>> reserved 2

SERVICE>> reserved print
Library Settings:
   Reserved Cell Count: 2

5. Setting reserved cells will cause a renumbering of the library cells so reboot of SL500 and re-inventory from backup host is required.

6. Import the clean cartridge from the CAP using the SLConsole "Import Cleaning/Diagnostic cartridges".

Note : If the library is partitioned, the reserved command will fail.

SERVICE>> reserved 2
 cause:  (8)==FEATURE DISALLOWED DUE TO PARTITION
