Host Connectivity
Calculation Example 2: Base and CEM
The example library has a Base module and a CEM to the right of centerline.
Base module
Contains a window array and three drive arrays. There is a module to the right.
320 (standard) + 13 (right module) + 23 (window array) – 55 (2nd drive array)
– 60 (3rd drive array) = 241
Right CEM
Contains a CAP. The module is installed right of centerline with a module to the left.
516 (standard) + 104 (left module) – 78 (CAP) = 542
Library Total
241 (Base) + 542 (right CEM) = 783
Calculation Example 3: Base, DEM, CEMs, AEM
The example library has a Base module, DEM, two CEMs (one on each side of
centerline), and a single AEM on the right for bulk loading. Oracle does not
recommend installing a single AEM on the right. If the AEM was installed on the left
end of the library, 104 additional cartridge slots would be accessible in the far left
CEM.
Base module
Contains window array and two drive arrays. There are modules to the right and left.
320 (standard) + 23 (window array) + 13 (right module) + 88 (left module)
– 66 (2nd drive array) = 378
DEM
Contains an op panel and three drive arrays. There is a module to the left.
410 (standard) + 88 (left module) + 0 (op panel) – 66 (2nd drive array)
– 72 (3rd drive array) = 360
Left CEM
Module is installed left of centerline with no module to the left.
516 (standard) = 516
Right CEM
Module is installed right of centerline with modules to the right and left.
516 (standard) + 104 (left module) = 620
AEM
Module is installed right of centerline (not recommended for single AEM).
0 (standard) = 0
Library Total
378 (Base) + 360 (DEM) + 516 (left CEM) + 620 (right CEM) + 0 (AEM) = 1,874
Host Connectivity
The SL3000 library supports two types of host connections:
Small computer system interface over a physical Fibre Channel interface (FC-SCSI)
