 ====== Adjusting Slot Allocation ======
-From time to time you may need to adjust a customer's slot allocation based on increased or decreased volume numbers.
+This page has been relocated to the Technotes Section
-===== Increasing Slot Allocation =====
+See [[technote:adjusting_slot_allocation|Adjusting Slot Allocation]]
-Slotting allocation can be increased by either adding extra [[master:repository_assign_zone|zones]] to the repository, or by increasing the slot allocation within the currently assigned [[master:repository_assign_zone|zones]].
-===== Decreasing Slot Allocation =====
-==== Removing Empty Slots ====
-Decreasing slot allocation for a customer can be as simple as reducing the slots allocated through the slot **Edit Range Information** window, as long as the slots being removed are sequential and unoccupied.
-==== Removing Occupied Slots ====
-If the slots to be removed from allocation are currently occupied, completely or partially, the volumes will need to be reslotted before this can be accomplished.
-<note important>You must have enough empty slots under the highwater mark to accommodate any volumes currently slotted above the mark.</note>
-To remove these volumes from the occupied slots:
-  * Right click the required repository and select ''Properties'', or double click the repository, and click on the ''Options'' tab.
-{{tapemaster_repository_properties.png}}
-  * Set ''Highwater Offset'' to the number you wish to lower slot allocation by.  For example if you currently have 3000 slots allocated and wish to reduce the allocation to 1000 slots set the highwater offset to 2000 (3000 - 2000).
-{{tapemaster_repository_options_highwater.png}}
-  * Run the slotting program [[:cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]] to re-slot any volumes above the highwater mark.
-  * Decrease the [[:master:repository_assign_zone|slot allocation]].
-{{tapemaster_slot_range.png}}
-  * Adjust the **highwater mark** back to zero to enable use of all allocated slots.
