Using Library Explorer

Quantum Scalar i6000 User's Guide
You can use the Library Explorer feature to view a graphical
presentation of all the drives, cartridges, and slots in the library. The
Library Explorer can display all library elements according to physical
location in any configuration, from one to seventeen modules, and one
drive up to the maximum number of 192 drives.
You can access the Library Explorer when viewing either the physical
library or an individual partition (from the View menu). When viewing
from a partition, you only see the elements belonging to that partition
in the graphical display.
The Library Explorer features are available to administrator and service
users, along with non-administrative users who have limited access to
library functions. Users who do not have administrative privileges can
perform all Operations options available to non-administrative users
directly from the Library Explorer dialog boxes.

• Locate an element by entering its address
• Locate a cartridge by entering the media barcode
• Load and unload drives
• Move cartridges

• Import and export
• View drive details
• Perform all drive related functions
