Putting the XLS in Logical Mode

This section provides information about putting the XLS in logical mode in preparation
for bringing the logical libraries online. In logical mode, one or more software applications
control the library and you interact with X-Link from a logical library perspective.
When you interact with the XLS in logical mode:
• You can view and control only those resources (cartridge slots, tape drives, and
I/O ports) that have been assigned to a particular logical library.
• You cannot view or control resources assigned to any other logical library.
• You specify SCSI element addresses for cartridge slots, I/O port slots, and tape
drives.
• The logical libraries may be online or offline.
To put the XLS in logical mode, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that all library doors are closed and locked and that the fiducial and
inventory scans have been completed. See
Fiducials and
2. If necessary, log into X-Link and press the Home button in the upper right
corner of any page to return to the Home page.
