To use the Allocate to Slot via the Special Operations menu, the selected Volumes must be either moving to or confirmed in a Repository with allocated Zones. | To use the Allocate to [[concepts:slot|Slot]] via the Special Operations menu, the selected [[object:volume|Volumes]] must be either moving to or confirmed in a [[object:repository|Repository]] with allocated [[object:repository|Repository]]. |
| |
While this process can be used any number of Volumes, you can only select a Slot for one Volume at a time so this process is best suited to one or low number of Volumes. To Slot multiple Volumes more efficiently see [[technote:scan_to_assign_usage_map|Scan to assign using Repository Usage Map]]. | While this process can be used any number of [[object:volume|Volumes]], you can only select a [[concepts:slot|Slot]] for one [[object:volume|Volume]] at a time so this process is best suited to one or low number of [[object:volume|Volumes]].

To allocate the current Volume to a Slot, click on an empty or unallocated Slot and then click ''OK''. If you have only one Volume to Slot, the window will close. If you have multiple Volumes to Slot the window will refresh to show the next Volume-ID in the top header, following the same process for each Volume, select a Slot and press ''OK''. | The [[concepts:slot|Slot]] Selection window will display the Current [[object:repository|Repository]] the [[object:volume|Volume]] is being Slotted in and the [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] currently being allocated in the top header.
