Chapter 13: Running Your Library
Understanding Location Coordinates
Quantum Scalar i6000 User’s Guide 465
The LMC uses dialog boxes, like the one shown in Figure 54, 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 Location
Coordinates
The location coordinates of a drive is based on the position of the drive
in the module and section. The location coordinates are: aisle, module,
rack, section, column, and row, defined the same as for other library
components (see
Cartridge Locations on page 460).
• Tape drives are always in rack 1, column 1, of a particular module.
(Columns are numbered from left to right as you face the rack). See
Figure 56 on page 468.
• Drives may be installed in any module except high-density
expansion modules and the left parking module.
• Because all drives in the library are full-height drives, each drive is in
row 1 of the designated section.
