30 Planning to Install and Configure Pathlight VX

Valid values for the Physical Library Type Being Emulated are: Pathlight VX, Scalar 100, Scalar 1000,

Scalar i500, Scalar i2000, and Scalar 10K.

Because the customer’s backup application views each virtual library as a physical library, estimate the

Number of Slots value by making sure there are no slot limitations and specifying a large number of slots

(depending upon the customer’s backup cycle needs and the licensing on the customer’s backup

application). For example, if the customer’s backup applications license on the basis of drives or slots, it

impacts how many slots the customer wants to define per virtual library.

Valid values for Type of Drives Emulated are LTO-1, LTO-2, or LTO-3.

For the FC Blade parameter, Pathlight VX assigns this value, but you can switch from one FC blade to

another (using either the Pathlight VX Service Interface or the Pathlight VX User Interface).

For the Extended Bar Codes parameter, specify whether the library(ies) has an ordinary 6-character

barcode such as 000006 (N), or an extended barcode to identify the media type, such as 000006L1 or

000006L2 (Y).

In order to complete Table 21

, consider the following:

After the Pathlight VX is installed, you can specify most of this information in Table 21

through either the

Pathlight VX Service Interface or the Pathlight VX User Interface. Consult the data in the first three rows for

examples of the kind of information being sought.

Note

If disk extension is enabled, ensure the number of virtual drives concurrently

mounted will not exceed available disk space.
