ROBAR Coordinates
For all physical positions in the system, the Scalar DLC software provides a signification coordinate. With
the help of this coordinate, the Scalar DLC can compute the physical position. These are LSCI coordinates
(the Scalar DLC database contains a coordinate decoder and uses the LSCI coordinate system as well as
SCSI coordinates, and others). Refer to
Element Addressing on page 260.
Additionally, for the Insert/Eject unit, Drives, Jukebox, and Problem box, the ROBAR interface uses special
coordinates.
Table 45 ROBAR Coordinates
Area Description Example
Storage area typical LSCI coordinate - device, column, row, position 01010101 (device 1, column
1, row 1, position 1)
Insert area coordinate starts with 0001 followed by row and
position 00010510 (row 5, slot 10)
Eject area coordinate starts with 0002 followed by row and
position 00020608 (row 6, slot 08)
Foreign
Mount area coordinate starts with 0003 followed by row and
position 00030701 (row 7, slot 01)
Drive/
Jukebox coordinate starts with 0000 followed by the drive
address/name and 01 00000F01 (drive addr. 0F)
0000ZQ01 (drive name ZQ)
Problem box coordinate starts with 000000 followed by number of
the problem box 000000001 (problem box 1)
