Cartridge Address

HLI-PRC Address

HLI-PRC (Host LMU Interface - Panel, Row, Column) address is a four digit comma- separated value (L,P,R,C) representing LSM, Panel, Row, Column. This addressing scheme is used by HLI (Host LMU Interface) clients, including ACSLS and HSC, to represent library components accessible to those HLI clients.

The slot location appears in the following format:

l

l

p

p

r

r

c

c

where:

ll:LSM number (0-3)

pp:Panel

rr:Row in the panel

cc:Column in the row

See “Locating a Cartridge and Drive” on page 50 to locate a cartridge using the Library Console.

Although the library management software follows a five digit numbering scheme as that of the SL8500 address there are significant differences in slot designations, CAP behavior, and other operational considerations as described below (see also “PTP Addressing Scheme” on page 34).

Library Storage Module (LSM)

The SL8500 library has four rails on which robots travel. The host software considers each SL8500 rail as a separate LSM. From top to bottom, SL8500 rails are numbered from 1 - 4 while the host LSMs are numbered from 0 - 3. For example, SL8500 rail 1 is Host LSM 0.

TABLE A-5Rail Numbering

Host	Internal Firmware
LSM 0	Rail 1
LSM 1	Rail 2
LSM 2	Rail 3
LSM 3	Rail 4

Panel Designations

■Panel 0 = cartridge access port (CAP)

■Panel 1 = drive panel

■The data cartridge slots start their numbering after the drive bay (Panel 1) forward.
