for the subsystem or a list of subsystem tickets appears that are in
Closed or Verified states

subsystem appears

Understanding Location Coordinates
This section describes the coordinate addressing system that the library
uses to indicate the location of cartridges, drives, and I/O blades in the
library.
You can use the Library Explorer feature to view a graphical presentation
of all the drives, cartridges, and slots in the library. The Library Explorer
can display all library elements according to physical location in any
configuration, from one module to eight modules, and one drive up to the
maximum number of 96 drives. For more information on Library
Explorer, see
Using Library Explorer on page 234.
Cartridge Locations 6
The library uses a coordinate addressing system that indicates the
location of cartridges using six coordinates. The coordinates are
represented by the library in a comma separated list. For example:
1,1,1,1,2,1 = aisle 1, module 1, rack 1, section 1, column 2, row 1
