Chapter 1: DescriptionLibrary FeaturesQuantum Scalar i6000 User’s Guide 41Hosts can be attached to the library in the following ways:• FC drives can be directly attached to host systems or to the SAN. Inthese configurations, the management control blade (MCB) has onelibrary control port (FC) connecting to the controlling hostcomputer.• FC drives can be attached to FC I/O blades in the I/O managementunit. There are two ports on each FC I/O blade that can beconnected directly to the host or to the SAN.Remote Management The library can be managed locally or remotely using the LMC. Locally,the LMC appears on the touch screen on the front of the library.Remotely, the LMC is accessed through a client instance of the LMCsoftware on any computer on the network. For more information aboutaccessing Logging On From a Web Browser (Remote Client) onpage 436. For more information about the LMC, see LibraryManagement Console (LMC) on page 442.The LMC provides additional monitoring of a SAN-attached library overthe network to a management server by using Simple NetworkManagement Protocol (SNMP). This includes library subsystem healthand status information and early fault notification. For moreinformation, see the Intelligent Libraries Basic SNMP Reference Guide.The library also supports the Common Information Model (CIM) serverbased on the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) onthe MCB. A CIM client can use the CIM server to monitor the SAN-attached library. For more information, see the Intelligent Libraries SMI-S Reference Guide.Capacity on Demand If you purchased capacity on demand, the library is initially licensed fora default configuration of 102 LTO storage slots.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 be
