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.

If the Volume is already Slotted in, or assigned (Target) to the Slot, right click on the Volume and select Special Operations > Capture 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.
