Chapter 5 Running Your Library
Understanding Location Coordinates
Scalar i6000 User’s Guide 295
The LMC uses dialog boxes, like the one shown in figure 33, that enable
you to specify cartridge locations. These coord
inates 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 5
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 r
ight as you face the rack.
• Because all drives in the library are full-he
ight drives, each drive is in
row 1 of the designated section.
• The library can accommodate two driv
e clusters per rack with each
drive cluster containing up to six drives.
