When the license key is entered, the total number of available slots in the library
increases. To verify that the number of slots did increase:
Path Failover (Feature Code 1682)
The Path Failover feature includes license keys for activating control path failover
and data path failover.
Control Path Failover
A control path is a logical path into the library through which a server sends
standard SCSI Medium Changer commands to control the logical library.
Additional control paths reduce the possibility that failure in one control path will
cause the entire library to be unavailable. Use of the control path failover feature
further reduces that possibility. For more information, see "Using Multiple Control
Paths" on page 2-2).

*The I/O station, in the 9U expansion module, contains 12 slots which can be configured
as either I/O or storage slots. If the 9U expansion module I/O slots are configured as I/O,
the control module slots can be configured as storage slots.
**The number of available I/O and storage slots listed in the table above are adjusted for
the ten unusable slots in each configuration. The number of physical slots is always ten
more than the number of licensable slots, because the bottom ten storage slots in a library
are not accessible due to space restrictions which limits the movement of the Picker. These
ten slots become available along with 36 slots in an expansion module when an expansion
module is added to the library.
