Defining Locations
Locations help you track the movement of tape volumes. A location is any place a tape rotation stays during the movement cycle. You can define as many locations as you need to provide the degree of control you want to achieve. To start defining locations, select option 7, System Setup Menu, from the Robot Save Main Menu.

When the Storage Location Entry panel displays, enter all storage locations that you plan to use. Define a unique location for any place a tape stays during the movement cycle.

Indicate if the location is on-site (this flag determines whether a tape can be released to the scratch pool if it is expired).

Press Enter when you have finished entering your locations. To delete a location, blank out the location name.
