Logical Unit Number (LUN) scanning
The TL1000 Tape Autoloader uses a single SCSI ID and dual LUNs to control the
tape drive (LUN 0) and library accessor (LUN 1). The library requires a Host Bus
adapter (HBA) that supports LUN scanning. If it is not enabled, your host system
cannot scan beyond LUN 0 and fails to detect the library. It sees only the tape
drive.
Important: Some HBAs, such as RAID controllers, do not support LUN scanning.
Location coordinates and element addresses
The TL1000 Tape Autoloader incorporates patented high-density (HD) slot
technology, which allows multiple cartridges to be stored in a tiered architecture.
The depth of a cartridge location in a high-density slot is known as a tier.
High-density slots are designed to contain multiple cartridges in Tiers 1 and 2.
Note: Each column has a spring-loaded mechanism that pushes a tape cartridge
into Tier 1 when it is the only cartridge in that column. A single cartridge in
a column takes on the Tier 2 element address even though it is physically in
Tier 1.
