142 Configuration Tab
Reserve or Define Volsers
The volsers reserved or defined for the client may represent the cartridges that are currently not in the
library. However, if the cartridge appears in the library, it is marked automatically as ‘allocated’/reserved, or
‘defined’, and can be accessed and managed only by its owner. The ownership can be changed either by
the client himself or by the Scalar DLC Management GUI administrator.

Help Click Open online help for the current pane.
Note
The client may access all cartridges in the logical library and does not need to reserve
volsers before using media.
Reserving volser(s) however guaranties that no other
client will access the reserved
media, especially when the reservation is exclusive
(refer to Cartridge on page 94).
Note
The client cannot reserve or define only half of an optical disk. Only the whole disk can
be reserved/defined. Even if the volser reservation or definition table contains only one
volser for the one side, the other is also reserved/defined for the client. This is shown
under Cartridge properties (refer to Cartridge
on page 94).
CAUTION
The client with no volsers defined (empty list) may access all cartridges in the
logical library. The client whose volser defining list is not empty may access
only the defined
cartridges.
