Description

Client Connection

The Scalar tape libraries are connected to the Scalar DLC software host via the SCSI bus or the Fibre
Channel cable. See

Figure 2

.

Figure 2

Physical Libraries connected to the Scalar DLC

For each tape library found during

Scan SCSI Bus

operation, the Scalar DLC software creates an object

called

physical library

. This object represents all aspects of the real tape device.

Logical Library Concepts

To provide clients with a flexible way of sharing common resources (

physical library

), the Scalar DLC uses

virtual objects called

logical libraries

to represent the real device for the client. The Management GUI is used

to create and configure these logical libraries. The connection between the logical library and the device is
implemented by means of the partitioning features that are unique to the Scalar DLC software. The
partitioning operation creates a number of element ranges called

partitions

that are used by the physical

library. These partitions are then assigned to the logical libraries (see

Figure 3

on page 5) so that the client

who uses a certain logical library can access the appropriate part of the physical library. This feature is
useful when clients use a single physical library while the client has access to only a certain resource. The
logical library represents these resources, and the assigned partitions provide a connection between the
logical library and its physical equivalent.
