Attribute

Definition

Source Library Number

Unique ID assigned to the library.

Source 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.

Source Physical Address

Library internal address.

For SL150 libraries, the format is m,s,w,c (for example, 1,Left,1,2), where:

m = module number; 1–10, from top (base module) to bottom
s = side; Left or Right
w = row number; 1–3, from top to bottom
c = column number; 1–5, from front to back

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 (for example, 1,1,2,2,3), 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 value is always 1. For SL8500 libraries, possible values are 1, 2, 3, or 4.
c = column number.
s = side number.
w = row number.

Source 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.
p = panel number.
w = row number.
c = column number.

For drives, format is l,p,t, where:

l = logical storage manager (LSM) number. Possible values are 0, 1, 2, or 3.
p = panel number
t = transport number

Source SCSI Element ID

SCSI element ID of the location. Applies only to drives or storage cells in SCSI partitions or libraries; for all others, the value is “0”.
