Chapter 6 Running Your Library
Understanding Location Coordinates
Scalar i2000 User’s Guide 373
The LMC uses dialog boxes, like the one shown in figure 42, that enable
you to specify cartridge locations. These coordinates are reported in
parenthetical format with each element separated by commas. In
parenthetical format, the location of cartridge 000002L2, shown in the
Load Drives dialog box below, is (1,1,1,1,3,1).

Tape Drive Locations 6
The location coordinates of a drive is based on the position of the drive in
the module and section.
• Tape drives are always in rack 1, column 1, of a particular module.
• Columns are read from left to right as you face the rack.
• Because all drives in the library are full-height drives, each drive is in
row 1 of the designated section.
• The library can accommodate two drive clusters per rack with each
drive cluster containing up to six drives.
