Configuring SL150 Library Settings

The SL150 supports configuration settings that affect ACSLS.

• Partitioning

  Partitioned SL150 libraries are not supported by ACSLS.

• Bridged Drives

  ACSLS supports only FC control path. SAS bridged drives for control path are not supported.

• Configure the Mailslot

  Enables you to use the storage slots on one side of the base module as an extension of the standard mailslot.

  • Required setting for ACSLS: Standard Mailslot (4 slots)

• Drive Element Addressing Mode

  Enables you to control how SCSI element addresses are reported when empty drive slots are present in the library.

  • Required setting for ACSLS: Address Only Installed Drives

• Reserved Cells

  The reserved cells are for library use only (diagnostic and cleaning cartridges):

  • Number (n) can be configured from 0 to 3 (maximum rows in base module).

  • Only affects base module - the first (n) cells in column 1 are reserved.

  • These cells are considered inaccessible to ACSLS

• Library Volume Label Format

  The SL150 library supports a variety of label format types (6-character, 8-character, etc.). For ACSLS operations supporting client operations, the default library setting is appropriate.
