Glossary
This glossary consists of terms unique to the library along with some storage industry terminology.
Access door
Refers to the doors on either the control module or expansion module from which you can access the
magazines and accessor assembly.
Capacity on demand (COD)
A Scalar library feature that enables users to have a large physical library, but users pay only for what
capacity they are currently using. License upgrades enable more capacity to be added without a system
interruption.
Control management blade (CMB)
A version of the MCB that has no I/O ports for Ethernet, SCSI, serial, or Fibre Channel. It is the controller
board for the I/O management unit.
Control module
The first module of the library. It consists of an library management module, cartridges, drives, power, and
an I/E station.
Data path
One of the many possible paths that data can move over in the storage area network environment,
potentially involving many components or connections between initiators and targets that have been set
since the initial configuration occurred.
Drive pooling
Drives to be held in a pool (or pools) of drives. You can specify policy settings for the drive pools to configure
how each pool will react to a drive failure and load balancing.
Drive sled position
A slot where a Fibre Channel or SCSI drives reside in the control module or expansion module in one of the
two drive clusters. There are six drive sled positions in each of the two drive clusters.
Encryption Key Management (EKM)
A generic term used to encompass any encryption key management solution.
(EEB)
Provides Ethernet connectivity to 6 Ethernet drives. This connectivity is to the library's internal Ethernet and
should not be connected to an external Ethernet source.
Expansion module
Expansion modules enlarge the library configuration by adding modules for additional media storage. You
can add up eleven expansion modules to a library configuration. The first seven expansion modules may
contain optional hardware, such as additional drives, I/O blades, and I/E stations.
