"Default SCSI Storage Element (Cartridges) Numbering Scheme"
active slots, but skips over any inactive slots and slots not within the partition.
Therefore, element numbering is continuous within each partition, even if slot
locations for the partition are not adjacent.
If you allocate more resources to the partition, the SCSI numbering of previously
numbered elements in the partition do not change. The library simply appends the
SCSI numbering for newly activated slots or newly inserted tape drives within the
partition.
Tape Drive Hardware Numbering
The hardware numbering is assigned by the HBC controller card. It is used to identify
a tape drive slot. The card automatically assigns a number, 1-56, to each drive slot.
