Library Features
This section describes several library features.
Density 2
The library provides a storage density of 720 cartridges (LTO) per square
meter. Each module, also referred to as a frame, has two storage racks:
one on the drive side and another on the door side. A rack consists of up
to 10 horizontal sections and three or four columns of magazines,
depending on the rack configuration. Each magazine, located at the
intersection of a particular section and a particular column, consists of
five or six cartridge slots, depending on the type of media (DLT or LTO
respectively).
Centralized Management2
The Library Management Console (LMC) gives you a single point from
which to view all library components, including robotics, drives, storage,
I/E stations, and network connectivity. You can use this graphical user
interface both locally from the library’s touch screen and remotely from a
remote client. The LMC communicates with the LMC server that runs on
the library. The LMC uses a simple and intuitive graphical style that is
secure and provides library managers with native partitioning ability.
