Scalar DLC
Table A-1 Terms
Term
Some models of the SCSI adapters have more than one port that can be used to
Multi-port
accept commands. The Management GUI shows any two-port adapter as two
adatper
single-port adapters, although it is physically single hardware.
See Event notification.
Notification
The cartridge that has been removed from the library and remains currently only
Offline
in the archive list.
cartridge
The continuous range of slots that are of the same type (for example, Generic
Partition
DLT). A set of partitions must be assigned to the Logical library.
The automated robotic device that serves as a cartridge store. It contains a large
Physical
number of slots where the cartridges can be inserted, and where the robotic
library
accessor (manipulator) moves cartridges from one slot to another.
Represents the SCSI Adapter in the Management GUI because every adapter
Port
has the port that is configured to accept commands. See also Multi-port adatper.
ROBotic ARchive. Requires valid TCP/IP connection between server (Scalar
ROBAR
DLC host) and client PC.
The automatic system that consists of a manipulator that is moving back and
forth as well as up and down on the rails to access all library slots and move the
Robot
cartridges from/to them. Also contains a Barcode reader to identify the accessed
cartridges.
See Robot.
Robotic
accessor
See Event rule.
Rule
The list of notification messages that describe the Scalar DLC working process.
Scalar DLC
Can be viewed from outside even when the Scalar DLC software itself is
log
stopped.
See Barcode reader.
Scanner
The data cartridge that is considered as empty and ready-to-write.
Scratch
cartridge
See Scratch cartridge.
Scratch
medium
A logical set of scratch cartridges (single media type only). Each data cartridge
Scratch pool
assigned to the scratch pool will be considered as scratch.
Small Computer System Interface. A widely used interface with the large
SCSI carrying capacity. Requires additional hardware (SCSI adapter(s), cables, etc.)
and software (SCSI Target Mode driver).
Element (slot) physical coordinate in SCSI format (0 - 65535).
SCSI
coordinate
The Physical library with a single robot.
Single-aisle
The Adapter that contains a single port to send/receive commands.
Single-port
adapter
The part of the physical library that receives a cartridge. There are three groups:
Slot
Storage slot, Insert/eject slot (mailbox), and Drive.
