StorageTek 6 manual Library Identification

Library Identification

Each ACS, LSM, and CAP is assigned a unique identification number during LIBGEN. Use this number in HSC commands and utilities when identifying a specific ACSid, LSMid, or CAPid.

•ACSid (acs-id) is a hexadecimal value from 00 through FF that identifies the LMU.

An acs-idis the result of defining the SLIALIST macro during a LIBGEN. See ‘‘LIBGEN Macros’’ in the HSC Configuration Guide for information about the SLIALIST macro. The first ACS listed in this macro acquires a hexadecimal identifier of 00, the second ACS listed acquires a hexadecimal identifier of 01, and so forth until all ACSs are identified.

•An LSM number (ll) is a hexadecimal value from 00 through 17. It differentiates an LSM from every other LSM connected to the same LMU.

An LSM number is the result of defining the SLIACS macro LSM parameter. See the HSC Configuration Guide for information about the SLIACS macro. The first LSM listed for an ACS acquires a hexadecimal number of 00, the second LSM listed for an ACS acquires a hexadecimal number of 01, and so forth.

•An LSMid (lsm-id) is made up of the ACSid and the LSM number separated by a colon (:). It differentiates an LSM from every other LSM in a library.

•A CAP number is a hexadecimal value from 00 to 02. The CAP number identifies a specific CAP in an LSM that has more than one CAP.

•A CAPid (cap-id) is a hexadecimal value made up of the LSMid and the CAP number separated by a colon. Refer to “How to Specify a CAPid” on page 434 for more information.

Some HSC commands and utilities require, or optionally allow, the user to specify a host identifier or a VOLSER.

•The host-idfor a given host is the identifier specified in the HOSTID parameter of the SLILIBRY macro in the LIBGEN. Valid characters for a HOSTID are A-Z, 0-9, #, $, and @.

•A VOLSER (volser) identifies a volume serial number consisting of one to six characters. Valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, # (crosshatch), $, ¥ (yen character), and optional trailing blanks. Leading blanks are not allowed.
