    1 Media which is drive 1 will always go back to the same slot from which it came after backup?

    2 If media is in drive 1 and it came from slot 2.And i ran inventory,will my new media will go to that slot 2?

    3 Can i manually move media from drive to a different slot from which it came?

    4 will my drive be down in case 2?

    5 can media be moved to different slots from where it first came into drive?

     

    Your answers in ()

    1. (yes)  Correct

    2.(no)  The library should know that there is a tape already allocated to that slot, and hopefully not put another tape in that slot. 

    3. (yes)  Yes, but not sure why you would want to do this.

    4. (yes)  If another tape was 'manually' put into that slot (for example by robtest) then yes, I would think the drive would go down, as the library wouldn't be able to unload it.

    5.(yes)  I agree, but not sure why you would do this.
