Configuring A Library System; The Master Unit - HPE Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series Maintenance And Service Manual

Configuring a Library System

All Libraries are factory-shipped as stand-alone units. To include them in a multi-unit Library
system, you must first configure one unit as the master and all other units as slaves. Any Library
can be configured to be a standalone, master, or slave.

The Master Unit

The master unit controls the operations of a multi-unit Library system. All configuration
changes to the system are performed at the operator panel of the master unit.
NOTE: In a storage cabinet, the master unit must occupy the top position to coordinate the action of the
Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM).
