Drive Rail Number
|
Rail number. For SL150, SL500, and SL3000 libraries, this value is always 1. For SL8500 libraries, possible values are 1, 2, 3, or 4.
|
|
Drive Physical Address
|
Library internal address for the drive.
For SL150 libraries, the format is m,p (for example, Module 1,Bottom Drive), where:
|
•
|
m = module number; 1–10, from top (base module) to bottom
|
|
•
|
p = position; Top Drive or Bottom Drive
|
For SL500 libraries, the format is l,m,r,c (for example, 0,2,2,3), where:
|
•
|
l = for non-partitioned libraries, this is the library ID (always 0); for partitioned libraries, this is the partition ID (1–8).
|
|
•
|
m = module number; 1–5, from top to bottom of the rack
|
|
•
|
r = drive row number; 1–2 (Base Module) or 1–4 (Drive Expansion Module), from top to bottom of the module
|
|
•
|
c = column number; always 9 for drives
|
For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries, the format is l,r,c,s,w, where:
|
•
|
l = library number. For non-partitioned libraries, this is the library ID; for partitioned libraries, this is the partition ID (1–8).
|
|
•
|
r = rail number. For SL3000 libraries, this is always “1”. For SL8500 libraries, this is the rail number (1–4).
|
|
|
Drive HLI Address
|
Host Library Interface (HLI) address of the location. Applies only to drives or storage cells in HLI partitions or libraries. This address is assigned by the ACSLS or ELS host software.
Note – Available only for SL8500 libraries with firmware FRS_7.80 or higher or SL3000 libraries with firmware FRS_4.0 or higher. For all others, the value is left blank.
For storage cells, format is l,p,w,c, where:
|
•
|
l = logical storage manager (LSM) number. Possible values are 0, 1, 2, or 3.
|
For drives, format is l,p,t, where:
|
•
|
l = logical storage manager (LSM) number. Possible values are 0, 1, 2, or 3.
