Scalar DLC
The Scalar 10K, through its Scalar Distributed Library Control
(Scalar DLC) interface, provides the industry’s most advanced
combination of management and diagnostics. It creates and
maintains the Scalar 10K configuration, the physical location
of the cartridge accessor, and the inventory of cartridges. The
database is kept in flash memory of the Library control
hardware.
The Scalar DLC attaches to the library SCSI bus.
The host continues to directly attach to the drives via a SCSI or
an SNC Interface.
Refer to the
Scalar DLC
documentation for detailed
description of the interfaces supported.
Scalar DLC is optional in COD and Customer-Specific
configurations. A single server is the typical Scalar DLC
option for these configurations. Refer to
Single Server
for more
information.
Scalar DLC is required in a Dual Aisle configuration.
Redundant servers are the typical Scalar DLC option for the
Dual Aisle configuration. Refer to
Redundant Servers
on page
2-20.
Single Server
The Scalar DLC Integrated Controller for the Scalar 10K Dual
Aisle library consists of Scalar DLC 2.5 or later software
loaded on a rack mountable server. The server has dual SCSI
drives connected to an embedded RAID controller, a LVD
SCSI card for library connection, and redundant AC power
supplies. The system also ships with a rack mountable flat
panel LCD monitor/keyboard/mouse.
See Figure 2-10 on page 2-20.
