Storage Element 25 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty
Each data transfer element represents an Ultrium tape drive within the library. Storage elements 1
to 24 represent the 24 configured slots within the library. Storage element 25 represents the
import/export slot of the library, also known as the Mail Slot in the HP StoreOnce Backup System
Web Management Interface.
Loading a cartridge into a library tape drive
To load a cartridge into the tape drive, the mtx load command should be used. For example,
to move a cartridge from slot 2 to the first tape drive the command would be:
# mtx –f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 load 2 0
Unloading a cartridge from a library tape drive
To unload a cartridge and place it in a storage slot, the mtx unload command should be used.
For example, to unload a cartridge from the first tape drive and place it in to storage slot 2, the
command would be:
# mtx –f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 unload 2 0
Back up and restore files using TAR
This section describes how to perform a simple backup and recovery of files to an HP StoreOnce
Backup System using the console applications, MTX and TAR. In the examples, the autoloader
robotics is controlled using SCSI device file /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 and the library drive
uses tape device file /dev/rmt/2cb. The file to be backed up and restored is the kernel.
