Capacity on Demand

The library is initially licensed for a default configuration of 100 storage
slots.
Capacity on Demand allows you to purchase capacity for your library as
needed. As your storage needs change, you can add storage in blocks of
100. Scalar i6000 licensing begins at 100 cartridges and can be
increased to as many as 7,146 LTO cartridges (for a single-robot library)
or 7,224 LTO cartridges (for a dual-robot library).
Note: Maximum numbers assume only one drive and one 24-slot I/E
station in the control module.
To gain the use of additional storage slots, you must purchase a
Capacity on Demand license for the desired number of slots.
The library also accommodates the use of unlicensed slots in the
following circumstances:
• Your library ships with enough modules to meet your Capacity on
Demand needs. If you require additional physical capacity to be
physically prepared for non-disruptive future expansion, you can
order one or more Unlicensed Expansion Modules.
• You can also use Unlicensed Expansion Modules to accommodate
the Active Vault and Extended Data Lifecycle Management (EDLM)
features, which do not require the use of licensed slots.
