Troubleshooter: Slotting Previously Setup

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

Slotting Run Manually

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).
