Storage slots in an I/O Station configured as storage are normally assigned across
multiple logical libraries. In order to increase or decrease the number of I/O
Station slots in the library, all logical libraries must first be deleted. If it is desired
to keep all the cartridges in a particular logical library together, all the cartridges
must be exported by logical library and kept grouped together, then imported as a
group back to that particular logical library after the I/O Station slots have been
reconfigured.

Applying a License Key

License keys can be purchased for expanding library capacity, control path failover,
and data path failover.
License keys are absolute values that can only increase a licensed feature. For
example, if a license key specified a slot count of 92 slots and later a different
license key was installed that specified 46 slots, the total licensed slot count would
still be 92 slots. It is possible to license more slots than are physically available in
the library at the time. If an Expansion Module (EM) is added, the extra licensed
slots become available.
A Capacity Expansion license key (Feature Code 1640) can be applied to the library
during the initial configuration or at any time in the future. If additional features
are purchased (Control Path Failover and/or Data Path Failover), the new license
key replaces the current license key. The new license key includes all previously
licensed features along with the newly licensed features.
A Path Failover license key (Feature Code 1682) supplies one or both licenses for
Control Path Failover and/or Data Path Failover. For more information, refer to
"Using Multiple Control Paths for Control Path Failover" on page 2-3 and "Using
Multiple Data Paths for Data Path Failover" on page 2-3.
Note: The license key is made up of 5 alphanumeric characters.

Selecting Drive IDs and Drive Types

You can change the SCSI ID for a SCSI-attached tape drive or the Loop ID for a
Fibre-attached tape drive. This is necessary, for example, when the default ID for a
tape drive that you are installing conflicts with the assigned SCSI ID of an existing
tape drive. In addition, you might be using a host application that expects to
communicate with a tape drive at a specific SCSI ID, but that SCSI ID might
already have been configured for use in another logical library.
Note: SCSI tape drives use SCSI IDs that are limited to a numerical value between
For more information on drive IDs, refer to "Determining SCSI and Fibre Channel
IDs" on page 2-4.

Working with User Accounts

There are two types of user accounts: user and administrative user.
0-15. Fibre Channel tape drives use Loop IDs that are limited to a numerical
value between 0-125.
