-From time to time you may need to adjust a [[object:customer|Customers]] [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation based on increased or decreased [[object:volume|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 [[object:repository|Repository]], or by increasing the [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation within the currently assigned [[master:repository_assign_zone|Zones]]. +
- +
-See [[master:admin_zone|Maintaining A Zone]] to add or increase Zone allocation. +

-===== Decreasing Slot Allocation ===== +
- +
-==== Removing Empty Slots ==== +
- +
-Decreasing [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation for a [[object:customer|Customer]] can be as simple as reducing the [[concepts:slot|Slots]] allocated through the [[concepts:slot|Slot]] **Edit Range Information** window, as long as the [[concepts:slot|Slots]] being removed are sequential and unoccupied.  +
- +
-==== Removing Occupied Slots ==== +
- +
-If the [[concepts:slot|Slots]] to be removed from allocation are currently occupied, completely or partially, the [[object:volume|Volumes]] will need to be reslotted before this can be accomplished.  +
- +
-<note important>You must have enough empty [[concepts:slot|Slots]] under the highwater mark to accommodate any [[object:volume|Volumes]] currently slotted above the mark.</note> +
- +
-To remove these [[object:volume|Volumes]] from the occupied [[concepts:slot|Slots]]: +
-  * Right click the required [[object:repository|Repository]] and select ''Properties'', or double click the [[object:repository|Repository]] , and click on the ''Options'' tab. +
- +

- +
-  * Set ''Highwater Offset'' to the number you wish to lower [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation by.  For example if you currently have 3000 [[concepts:slot|Slots]] allocated and wish to reduce the allocation to 1000 [[concepts:slot|Slots]] set the highwater offset to 2000 (3000 - 2000). +

- +
-  * Run the slotting program [[:cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]] to re-slot any [[object:volume|Volumes]] above the highwater mark. +
-  * Decrease the [[:master:repository_assign_zone|slot allocation]]. +
- +
-{{tapemaster_slot_range.png}} +
- +
-  * Adjust the **Highwater Offset** back to zero to enable use of all allocated [[concepts:slot|Slots]]+
