---> Yes, slotting was previously setup#
+To begin diagnosing the problem select from the following options:

-Slotting can be performed manually using several methods:

-  - 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.

---> No, slotting was not previously setup#
-Slotting is not setup to run by default, to enable slotting a number of setup tasks must be performed:
-  - Slotting must be enabled in the options for the repository requiring slotting.
-  - Zones must be assigned to the repository
-  - There must be a sufficient number of free slots available to accommodate every volume that currently requires a slot.
-  - The slotting program must be called, either manually or via a scheduler such as Windows Scheduler or crond
-  - The slotting program must be called with the right arguments, including the right server name and valid credentials.
