Explanation:
B:Elevator operation is under the control of the library controller when CAP operations are issued. The library controller uses the elevators and HandBots to access the entire capacity of the CAPs for enters and ejects without regard for the partitions. Note: Elevators provide vertical pass-thru operations between rails within the same library. Both elevators are located in the front of the library between the front access doors and the Service Safety Door. Each of the four rails share the two elevators. C: Partitions share the ownership of the CAPs. That is, if one host/partition has CAP A reserved, a different host/partition can have CAP B reserved, or one host/partition can have both CAPs reserved. D: Elevators, robots, and CAPs are shared resources and--each partition can fully use shared resources for cartridge movement, enter, and eject operations. All drives, storage slots and cartridges within a partition are solely owned by that host or host group. E: Duplicate VOLSERs are supported by the library; however, ACSLS and HSC do not, unless:The duplicate VOLSERs are in different partitions. With HSC managed partitions, the duplicate VOLSERs are in different control data sets. With ACSLS managed partitions, the duplicate VOLSERs are managed by different ACSLS servers.
