54 Scalar i6000 Planning Guide
To enable LMC access between firewall zones, two solutions are possible
depending on the customer configuration. If the two zones are on the
same IP subnet, then the firewall will provide IP address and port
blocking functionality and should follow these rules:
• Inbound access to port 1099 (Java RMI server port) by client IP
addresses
• Stateful access control – used with most Web technologies (for
example, Web mail) to enable a server to communicate with the
client that started the connection
If the two zones are on different subnets, or an IP address translation is
performed to mask the library’s true IP address, then the firewall must
provide routing rules that allow the client IP addresses to access specific
library IP addresses.
Slot Capacity
Capacity on Demand There are two types of slot capacities in Scalar i6000: physical capacity
and licensed capacity. Physical capacity is added to a library by adding
expansion modules to a configuration. Either DREMs, SEMs or HDEMs
can be added, depending on the need.
Capacity on Demand allows you to license physical slots in 100-slot
blocks. 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 slots
can be assigned to host managed partitions. It is often desirable to have
more physical slots installed than will be licensed.
Capacity on Demand allows you to purchase capacity for your library as
needed. As your storage needs change, you can add storage in blocks of
100. Scalar i6000 licensing begins at 100 cartridges and can be
increased 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. This
separation provides the flexibility to order the exact modules needed
(DREM, SEM or HDEM).
