Chapter 1 — Library Overview
Thin Provisioning
The Thin Provisioning option allows automatic library partition resizing as
a partition requires greater slot count, without reconfiguring the library or
host software. Using Thin Provisioning, it is possible for the combined
number of storage slots configured in all library partitions to exceed the
licensed or physically available number of slots. Empty slots are included
in, but inaccessible to, all partitions until you import a TeraPack magazine
into one partition. At that time, the library makes the slots accessible to
only the partition into which the magazine was imported. You can import
additional magazines into any of the thin provisioned partitions until the
inventory reaches the licensed or physical capacity.
XML Command Interface
The XML command interface provides a set of commands for use in
customer‐generated programs used for viewing the library's status,
inventory, and configuration information, and performing BlueScale
package updates and other operations without using the BlueScale user
interface. See the Spectra Tape Libraries XML Command Reference for detailed
information.
