Enabling Logical Serial Number Addressing For Drives - Quantum Scalar i6000 Installation Manual

Enabling Logical Serial Number Addressing for Drives

The Physical Library dialog box enables you to set up the library to automatically assign logical serial
numbers to drives in the library. Specifically, the library assigns a logical serial number to a drive in a specific
location. This is not the serial number of the particular drive. If a drive is replaced by another drive in the
same library location, the logical serial number remains the same. From the host's perspective, the
replacement drive is the same as the original one.
