Re: [Networker] Autochanger module license question?

Hi George,
as Todd A. Willeat wrote in a previous mail, the library would report the usable slot number, you can not reduce it on your own. There are libraries like the StoragteTek SL500 modular library where you (e.g. the STK technician) can fine-tune the reported slot number. It means, if you purchase two modules, let say ending up with 132 slots, it would be possible to reduce the usable slots to 128 which allows you to use a 128 slot autochanger license.

Hi,
Does an Autochanger Module license have to cover all the slots that a
given tape library has or does it only
have to cover what you want to use?
For example, if I buy a stackable library system, and maybe I have a
total of 200 slots between all the
units, could I purchase a 128 slot license if I was willing to live
with only being able to use slots 1-128 or
will NetWorker see that the library really has 200 slots and then
complain that the license is insufficient
to cover it?
We are looking at stackable libraries. Some of these would come with
all the slots and others would require
the purchase of a license key from the hardware vendor in order to
activate all of them. Either way, I want to be
covered under Legato, but these autochanger module licenses are
expensive, and I suspect Legato will not let
you purchase an add-on module to increase the count.
