Pathlight VX User’s Guide 11
Pathlight VX and Attached Physical Libraries
The Pathlight VX may be attached to up to four physical (tape) libraries, which provides the advantage of
long-term data storage. Although a physical library can be attached to the Pathlight VX, it is not a system
component and is considered an external device. When a Pathlight VX user ‘exports’ virtual media from the
system, data is moved to tape in the physical library. The ‘import’ operation retrieves data from physical tape
and makes it available in the Pathlight VX. Table 1
lists physical libraries and drives currently supported by
the Pathlight VX, along with library-specific settings and procedures that must be followed if the library is
used with the Pathlight VX.

Library and Supported Drives
When Attached to Pathlight VX
Specific Library Settings or Procedures
ADIC Scalar 24
LTO-1
LTO-2
LTO-3
Verify the library settings (Volser, ASC, Mixed Media, etc.).
ADIC Scalar 100
LTO-1
LTO-2
LTO-3
Verify the library settings (Volser, ASC, Mixed Media, etc.).
ADIC Scalar 1000
LTO-1
LTO-2
Verify the library settings (Volser, ASC, Mixed Media, etc.).
Volser Enabled must always be off.
If Mixed Media is enabled, then Extended RES must be enabled.
Change the virtual library to a Scalar i2000 to emulate the i2000
command set.
CAUTION: This library is capable of configuring the media ID to
the front of the volume serial number. Avoid prepending the
media ID to the volume serial number, because it causes the
Pathlight VX’s configuration of the physical library to fail.
ADIC Scalar i500
LTO-3 (IBM only)
Verify the library settings (Volser, ASC, Mixed Media, etc.).
ADIC Scalar i2000
LTO-1
LTO-2
LTO-3
Verify the library settings (Volser, ASC, Mixed Media, etc.).
If drive spoofing is turned on, you must reboot the Pathlight VX.
Turning on spoofing changes each drive serial number in the i2000.
The reboot causes the Pathlight VX to run through its drive
replacement scripts for each i2000 drive.
CAUTION: This library is capable of configuring the media ID to
the front of the volume serial number. Avoid prepending the
media ID to the volume serial number, because it causes the
Pathlight VX’s configuration of the physical library to fail.
ADIC Scalar 10K
LTO-1
LTO-2
LTO-3
Verify the library settings (Volser, ASC, Mixed Media, etc.).
Volser Enabled must always be off.
If Mixed Media is enabled, then Extended RES must be enabled.
CAUTION: This library is capable of configuring the media ID to
the front of the volume serial number. Avoid prepending the
media ID to the volume serial number, because it causes the
Pathlight VX’s configuration of the physical library to fail.
a
This library supports LTO-3 drives. However, LTO-3 drives are not supported if the library is used with the
Pathlight VX.
