LibraryModel Select the library model emulated by the partition. The library model determines the
inquiry string returned to the host by the DXi6900.
The following library models are available:
Models
l Quantum DXi7500
l ADIC Pathlight VX
l Quantum Scalar i40/i80 or Quantum Scalar i6000
l Quantum DXi6700, Quantum DXi6900, Quantum DXi6800, Quantum DXi4700,

l Quantum DX3000 or Quantum DX5000
l Quantum PX500 or Quantum PX720
l ATL M2500, ATL P1000, or ATL P7000
If you select a library such as the ATL P1000 or ATL P7000, the DXi6900 appears
as the selected library to the host and backup application. If you select Quantum
DXi6900, the host and backup application recognize the device as a Quantum
DXi6900.
Note:Quantum recommends that you set the library model to Quantum
DXi6900 for best compatibility. If your backup application does not support the
Quantum DXi6900 inquiry string, select a different library model. Check your
software compatibility guide to verify what library models are supported.
