Chapter 2: DescriptionSlot CapacityScalar i6000 Planning Guide 45To enable LMC access between firewall zones, two solutions are possibledepending on the customer configuration. If the two zones are on thesame IP subnet, then the firewall will provide IP address and portblocking functionality and should follow these rules:• Inbound access to port 1099 (Java RMI server port) by client IPaddresses• Stateful access control – used with most Web technologies (forexample, Web mail) to enable a server to communicate with theclient that started the connectionIf the two zones are on different subnets, or an IP address translation isperformed to mask the library’s true IP address, then the firewall mustprovide routing rules that allow the client IP addresses to access specificlibrary IP addresses.Slot CapacityCapacity on Demand There are two types of slot capacities in Scalar i6000: physical capacityand licensed capacity. Physical capacity is added to a library by addingexpansion modules to a configuration. Either DREMs, SEMs or HDEMscan be added, depending on the need.Capacity on Demand allows you to license physical slots in 100-slotblocks. Any number of slots can be licensed between 100 and 12,000.You do not need to license all the physical slots, but only licensed slotscan be assigned to host managed partitions. It is often desirable to havemore physical slots installed than will be licensed.Capacity on Demand allows you to purchase capacity for your library asneeded. As your storage needs change, you can add storage in blocks of100. Scalar i6000 licensing begins at 100 cartridges and can beincreased to as many as 7,146 LTO cartridges (for a single-robot library)or 7,224 LTO cartridges (for a dual-robot library).Expansion modules are sold separately from the slot licensing. Thisseparation provides the flexibility to order the exact modules needed(DREM, SEM or HDEM).
