Capacity; Physical Capacity; Physical Slot Capacity Per Module - Oracle StorageTek SL3000 System Assurance Manual

There are two types of capacity:

Physical Capacity

reserved slots.
Active Capacity

file. Only activated slots can be used for data storage and accessed by a client.
Inactivated slots are not recognized by the library.
Oracle recommends adding physical capacity in advance to meet future storage needs.
Although modules can be added to an SL3000 library at any time, adding a module is
disruptive to library operations.
A diagram of the slot locations within each module can be helpful for understanding
capacity. For wall maps, refer to the SL3000 User's Guide.
Physical Capacity
Physical storage capacity can range from 205 to 5,925 data cartridge slots depending
on the library configuration. The capacity of a module depends on its position relative
to other modules and the add-on features selected. Review the configuration options
in Chapter 2, "Library Modules and
Use the table below to calculate the physical capacity of a library. Start with the
standard configuration slot count, then either add or subtract slots from the standard
slot count to reflect the module position and add-on options. Finally, add the slot
counts of each module together to get the total slot count for the library.

For additional drive arrays, the first number listed is the change in capacity when there is no module to
the left, and the second number is the change in capacity when there is a module to the left.
