ETERNUS LT60 S2

Depending on the height, the number of drives and used drive types it's possible to create up to 4 logical
libraries (partitions). The logical libraries are magazine related, this means the number of available slots are
aligned to the magazine borders.
When two half-high drives are installed in a 2U library, the first partition will contain the first magazine and
the first drive. The second partition will contain the second magazine and the second drive. The mailslots (if
configured) will be shared between the logical libraries.
3.2.2.1 Drive Naming ETERNUS LT60 S2
When one or more half-high drives are added to a 4U library, the first half-high drive position will be called
"Drive 1". The second half-high drive position will be called "Drive 2". The third half-high drive position will be
called "Drive 3". The fourth half-high drive position will be called "Drive 4".
3.2.2.2 Mixing of Drives ETERNUS LT60 S2
The 4U library will support a mix of drives from different generations (LTO5, LTO6, LTO7) in the same physical
library and the same logical library. They will also support a mix of SAS and FC in the same physical library and
the same logical library.
A single logical library must be configured with drives from one of the Product ID groups described below.
If the current configuration includes drives from both groups, configure multiple logical libraries and allocate
the drives from each group to separate logical libraries.
• Product ID group A: LTS2Z225E/L, LTS2Z226L, LTS2Z234L, LTS2Z235E/L, LTS2Z236L, LTS2Z125E/L, LTS2Z135E/L
• Product ID group B: LTS2Z246E/L, LTS2Z247E/L, LTS2Z256E/L, LTS2Z257E/L
