Set Max Addr Elem
The Maximum Addressable Element option allows you to
decrease the number of cartridge storage slots your library reports
to the software. This means the library can use and report fewer
slots than are physically present. This option is useful with
software applications that offer scalable licenses based on the
number of cartridges.
➤ Important If your software does not monitor
the number of slots you are using, you do not need
to set this option. Refer to your software
documentation for more information.
When you set the Maximum Addressable Element option, you are
specifying the highest element number that can store a cartridge.
For example, if the software license you purchased supports 16
cartridges, you need to set the option to 15. This tells the library
to place cartridges in slot 0 through slot 15, resulting in 16 storage
locations.
The default value for the Maximum Addressable Element is the
highest cartridge slot that can store a cartridge. For example, in an
Exabyte 440 library, the default number would be 40 because the
cartridge slots start at slot 0 and go to slot 40, making slot 40 the
highest slot number that can store a cartridge. The element index
figures in Appendix D show how the cartridge slots are numbered
in your library.
