Changing loaded tapes

If you need to change a tape that is currently loaded in a tape drive, or load a tape because there isn't one in a tape drive, use SCO ARCserve/Open's Change Loaded Tape option.

Perform the following steps to load a tape:

  1. Get to the Changer Device Management window.

    See ``Accessing the Changer Device Management options'', which details the steps to get you here.

  2. Select Load Tape from the Device Management menu.

    Or, click the Change Loaded Tape icon.

    The following screen displays:

  3. Select the tape you want to load (or unload).

    Click the desired tape you want loaded (or unloaded).

    If you are unloading a tape, you can only select from tapes that are loaded.

  4. Click Load (or Unload).

    SCO ARCserve/Open unloads any tape in the drive, and loads the one you just selected.

    If you are unloading a tape, SCO ARCserve/Open unloads that tape and returns it to its slot.
