Comparison of Addressing Schemes
■
Internal Firmware Addressing Scheme (Library, Rail, Column, Side, Row) —
used by the firmware and internal communications to represent all devices and
locations within the library.
– Begins at 1 and uses negative numbers.
– Side indicates the front or rear wall of the library.
– Drive bays have column values 1 to 4 (BM) and -1 to -4 (DEM).
■
HLI-PRC Addressing Scheme (LSM, Panel, Row, and Column) — used by HLI
clients, such as ACSLS and ELS, to represent library locations and components.
– Begins at 0 with no negative numbers.
– Panel indicates the front or rear wall of a specific module.
– Drive bays always have column value of 0.
■
FC-SCSI Element Numbering — used by hosts with FC-SCSI connections to the
library.
– Uses single positive number for the element ID.
– Cartridge slots begin at 2000, tape drives begin at 1000, CAPs begin at 10.
Note:
"Left" and "right" are in reference to viewing the library from
the CAP-side (front) unless otherwise specified.
