Manual Configuration
For advanced users, the wizard-based configuration automatically scans for libraries and creates physical
library objects by executing the following step-by-step procedures:
Step 1 Scans the SCSI bus for physical libraries.
Step 2 Creates partitions for all the physical library elements.
Step 3 Creates a logical library. The library name can be specified. Also refer to Table 6 on page 16.
Step 4 Assigns the partitions to the logical library. It is possible to select a method of assignment:
single-media library, single-robot library, and the complete library selection are available for the
first-time manual configuration.
Step 5 Creates two identical mailboxes covering all the mailbox slots. The mailbox names can be
specified. Also refer to
Table 6 on page 16.
Step 6 Creates a client and assigns it to the logical library. The client name can be specified. Also refer
to
Table 6 on page 16.
Refer also to Create Configuration on page 32 for the detailed description of steps.
Advanced Configuration
ADIC recommends this mode for expert or administrator users. In this mode, only the icon associated with
the Scalar DLC software system appears.
To enable all the Management GUI functions, create a working configuration by performing the procedures
in the following sections:
Rescan SCSI Bus
Create the device objects associated with a physical library by using the Rescan SCSI Bus button on the
Configuration > Physical > Controller pane. Refer to Physical Tab on page 112.
Create Partitions
Create the partition objects representing desired parts of the Physical Library. That can be done on
Configuration > Physical > Library pane ( Add new Partition button). Refer to Create Partition on page
127.
The partition properties can be modified later, even after the partition is assigned to a logical library, via the
Configuration > Physical > Partition pane. Refer to Partition on page 119.
Note
By default, if the DAS Client support is installed, the created client is the DAS Client; if
not, no client can be created because the SCSI and ROBAR interfaces need certain pre-
configuration.
Note
There should be at least three partitions created for each physical library: storage, I/E,
and drive. Refer to
Partition on page 119 for the details.
