Control Module
Scalar i6000 User’s Guide 13
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 2
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 12 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
100 cartridges and can be increased to as many as 5316 LTO or 2,910 DLT
cartridges inside one library.
Control Module
All library configurations include the control module, which contains the
following components at a minimum (see
figure 2 on page 14):
• Library management module (LMM)
•I/E station
• Tape drives
• Cartridge storage
