| This method relies on both the zones and Slots being barcoded (further information on printing barcodes can be found [[checkpoint:print_barcodes|here]]). Slotting on the [[object:repository|Repository]] also need to be disabled if you have the Slotting allocation script being run by the scheduler or volumes will be automatically allocated a Slot based on the Slotting mode of that [[object:repository|Repository]]. | This method relies on both the zones and Slots being Barcoded (further information on printing Barcodes can be found [[checkpoint:print_barcodes|here]]).
