242 Application Notes
Logical library
The logical representation of the Physical library (or its part) as it can be seen
by the customer via the Client interface.
LSCI coordinate
The element (slot) physical coordinate in LSCI format (device-section-row-
column-position).
LUN
Logical Unit Number. Each LUN can represent a device for the client. That
means after the configuration is complete the SCSI client will see the assigned
logical library as the SCSI device connected to a certain LUN.
Mailbox
The logical set of insert/eject slots. Should be created in the Logical library to
represent its I/O unit.
Mailbox area
Same as Insert/eject area.
Mailbox slot
Same as Insert/eject slot.
Media domain
This characteristic indicates the cartridges that can be stored into the same
storage slot even if their media type is different (for example, both NCTP and
3590 cartridges are of the ‘half-inch’ domain). And vice versa: the media
domain characteristic indicates slots that could be the possible container for
the cartridge.
Media type
The cartridge characteristic that indicates its dimensions, capacity, etc.
Medium, media
Same as Cartridge.
Mount
The operation of loading a single cartridge into a drive.
Move
The operation of getting the cartridge from a target slot and putting it to the
destination slot. This operation can change the cartridge home position.
Multi-port adapter
Some models of the SCSI adapters have more than one port that can be used
to accept commands. The Management GUI shows any two-port adapter as
two single-port adapters, although it is physically single hardware.
Notification
Same as Event notification.
Offline cartridge
The cartridge that has been removed from the library and remains currently
only in the archive list.
Partition
The continuous range of slots that are of the same type (for example, Generic
DLT). A set of partitions must be assigned to the Logical library.
Physical library
The automated robotic device that serves as a cartridge store. It contains a
large number of slots where the cartridges can be inserted, and where the
robotic accessory (manipulator) moves cartridges from one slot to another.
Port
Represents the SCSI Adapter in the Management GUI because every adapter
has the port that is configured to accept commands. See also Multi-port
adapter.
ROBAR
ROBotic ARchive. Requires valid TCP/IP connection between server (Scalar
DLC host) and client PC.
