If slotting was previously setup and has stopped working then something has changed.

Slotting can be performed manually using several methods:

• By manually editing each volume and setting the slot.
• By selecting the repository and pasting volumes into free slots under the Repository Usage Map Tab.
• By running the slotting program manually from a command prompt or batch file.
• If slotting is no longer working, the most probably cause is that it is not being manually run.
• If slotting is run by manually calling the slotting program, you should check the output from the slotting program for the following conditions:

• That the program is connecting to the server successfully and that it is the right server.
• That the User-ID and Password are correct and that the program has been able to login.
• That there are sufficient slots available to slot all volumes that require a slot (i.e. if there are 10 volumes to slot, and only 8 free spaces, the slotting program will not slot any of the volumes).
