Greetings, everyone...

I'm getting ready to replace a StorageTek Powderhorn 9310 library with
an SL8500 library very soon.  I was wondering how NetBackup handles
drive addressing in the SL8500.  With the 9310, drives were addressed by
ACS,LSM,Panel,Drive whereas with the SL8500 the address contains 5
components - Library,Rail,Column,Side,Row.  Since the value of 'side' is
always 1 as the drives are on the outer wall, is this value simply not
used when configuring the drives in NetBackup, or can NetBackup accept
all 5 components of the address?
