Home Slot

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 preset protocol.

Assigning A Home Slot

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.

If a Volume is Slotted in multiple Repositories (eg Offsite Vault and Racking), TMSS10SlotAllocation will attempt to assign it to its Home Slot in all Repositories.
