Thanks for the confirmation. That is kinda what I guessed ! What a restrictive non-option. I was hoping to at least use 6-of the 12 slots !

How do you do this ? It's an option somewhere in the library menu. > 2. If I did do this, how would I Insert/Eject tapes ? You can't. The only thing you can do is open the big door and remove/insert the tapes manually. The 12-slot is locked permantly. Of course, you need to run an audit and a checkin to update the inventory in TSM. Don't open the door when there is activity in the library !!!! Stef
