Description
A RIM can be used to provide the robotic control path to the library's
TeraPorter(s). One RIM can support up to eight library partitions; one RIM2 can
support up to 16 partitions.
Two or more RIMs of the same type (RIM or RIM2) are required if you want to
use the BlueScale controller failover feature for enhanced availability.
You can use a USB device for saving backups of the library configuration and
MLM database, when you are updating the library's BlueScale software, or as a
troubleshooting tool for use as instructed by Spectra Logic Technical Support.
USB devices are available for purchase from Spectra Logic for a nominal charge.
Note: The library only recognizes FAT‐formatted, not NTFS‐formatted, USB
devices.
