Well, for what it's worth, all I had to do was stop and restart the
Media Manager Volume daemon; this caused the extra slots to show up.
There was finally a break in the activity on my S10K just a short while
ago so I was able to try this.

Anyway, the various ADIC S10K users out there should be happy to know
that it's not too painful to make use of the "Storage On Demand"
features of the library in conjunction with NetBackup.
