• FC and SCSI drives can be directly attached to host systems or to the
SAN. In these configurations, the management control blade (MCB)
has one library control port (FC or SCSI) connecting to the controlling
host computer.
• FC drives can be attached to FC I/O blades in the I/O management
unit. There are two ports on each FC I/O blade that can be connected
directly to the host or to the SAN.
Remote Management 3
The library can be managed locally or remotely using the LMC. Locally,
the LMC is displayed on the touch screen on the front of the library.
Remotely, the LMC is accessed through a client instance of the LMC
software on any computer on the network. For more information about
accessing
Logging On From the LMC Applet (Web Browser) on
page 340. For more information about the LMC, see Library
Management Console (LMC) on page 349.
The LMC provides additional monitoring of a SAN-attached library over
the network to a management server by using Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). This includes library subsystem health
and status information and early fault notification. For more information,
see the Intelligent Libraries Basic SNMP Reference Guide.
The library also supports the Common Information Model (CIM) server
based on the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) on the
MCB. A CIM client can use the CIM server to monitor the SAN-attached
library. For more information, see the Intelligent Libraries SMI-S Reference
Guide.
Capacity on Demand 3
If you purchased capacity on demand, the library is initially licensed for a
default configuration of 100 DLT or 102 LTO storage slots. The number of
storage slots differs between media types because the library only
supports full magazines for capacity on demand.
The library’s license key must be enabled during installation to configure
those parts of the library that are governed by additional licensing.
Customer license keys are available from Quantum technical service.
The capacity on demand library can be expanded from a single module to
up to eight modules. With capacity on demand, you can purchase enough
storage to accommodate your current needs. As your storage needs
change, you can add storage in blocks of 100 cartridges without being
required to purchase additional hardware. Capacity on demand begins at
