The Management GUI also indicates the LSCI coordinates used by ROBAR and (sometimes) DAS
software.
The LSCI coordinates consists of 5 character pairs. The first four characters signify the ‘name' or the number
of the device. The third pair of characters signifies the column in which the position is located. The fourth
pair of characters signifies the row of the position and the last two characters show the position in this row.
These coordinates are mapped from the coordinates of the physical library by the following way:
• Device type and number (four symbols): for example, LW01 means ‘storage shelve number 1’,
D006 means ‘drive number 6’, etc.
• Column-row-position (six digits): for drives always 000000, for other types of slots something like
011006 or 120804.
Example: the LSCI coordinate “LW02060210“ means “a slot that can be fount at storage shelve 2, rack 6,
column 2, position 10“.
Translating HCC Coordinates for ROBAR HACC
For the ROBAR HACC, the LCSI coordinates are unable to completely handle the number of slots in larger
library systems. To compensate for this issue, the LCSI coordinates can be re-mapped to the HCC form.
When configuring the ROBAR client, check Translate HCC coordinates checkbox. For more information,
refer to
ROBAR Client on page 174.
