When Volumes are slotted by the Command Line Program TMSS10SlotAllocation the Slots assigned are determined by the Repository Options setting, either IntelliSlot or First Available.

Assigning a Volume with a Home Slot will have TMSS10SlotAllocation attempt to slot that Volume to its Home Slot first, if that Slot is unavailable the Volume will be Slotted according to the set protocol.

To assign a Volume to a Home Slot, from the Inventory window in TapeMaster:

• Right click a Volume and select Properties
• Open the Options tab
• Expand the Home Locations
• In the Slot field, enter the required Home Slot number
• Click Save to update the data and close the Properties window.
