The following table describes the descriptors that appear in the Show
Details view for drives.
Table 30 Descriptors
Descriptor Description
Partition Name Name assigned during partition creation process.
Product ID The Product ID setting controls the product ID string that is returned in a
standard SCSI INQUIRY response. The library can report that it is a Scalar i500,
Scalar i2000, or Scalar i6000. This feature can enable the library to be used
with host applications that do not yet include the Scalar i6000 in a list of
recognized devices. In addition, the various Microsoft Windows operating
systems maintain a list of recognized devices. If the Scalar i6000 is not in an
operating system’s list of recognized devices, the library will appear as an
“unknown” device in device lists. You might prevent the library from being
listed as “unknown” by setting Product ID to a library other than Scalar i6000.
This setting does not cause any library operational changes other than the SCSI
INQUIRY response.
Vendor ID ADIC or QUANTUM (default is QUANTUM).
This information is used in the SCSI Inquiry command. Some backup
applications may only support or be configured for ADIC libraries, so if you
configure a logical library using the vendor ID of QUANTUM, the backup
application would not work with the library.
Serial Number Partition ID, as shown by Monitor > System > Components tab.
Descriptor Description
[Number] [Connection
