Library Numbering

Conventions

A host computer communicates with the library through a SCSI

interface using the SCSI-2 medium changer command set. In a

typical operation, the robotics receive a command from the host

computer to transfer a tape cartridge from one FSA component to

another (storage bin, tape drive, and load port). To transfer a

cartridge, a gripping mechanism aligns itself with the designated

tape cartridge and "picks" it from the FSA component. It then

moves and aligns itself with the designated location within the

FSA and "places" the tape cartridge.

All FSA components (storage bins, load port bins, and tape drives)

are numered.
