Introduction
AboutthisManual
This publication describes the method for implementing CoD, Spectra Logic’s capacity
on demand feature, in the Spectra 10000 library.
AboutCoD
CoD gives you the ability to double the storage capacity to your Spectra 10000 library
(from 20 slots to 40 slots) as it is needed. CoD is the most cost-effective and efficient
way to meet growing data storage needs of your Spectra 10000 library while eliminating
the risk factors associated with planning for this growth.
EstimatedTimeRequired
This procedure should take less than 10 minutes.

EnterActivationKeyCode
Adding capacity to your Spectra 10000 library with CoD is easily accomplished through
the library’s touchscreen.
1. From the Main Screen of the Spectra 10000 library, touch the Config button.
2. This brings up the first Load User Params and Load Defaults screen that also has
buttons for Brighten, Contrast, Set Time and Set Date. Touch the More button.
3. The second Load User Params and Load Defaults screen appears that also has
buttons for Emulation and RS232 Handshake. Touch the More button a second time.
4. The third Load User Params and Load Defaults screen appears that also has button
for Library 2 Slots. The More button becomes the MFG button. Touch the MFG
button.
5. Using the key pad on the touchscreen, enter the Activation Key code. Touch OK.
6. Once the Activation Key is entered, the touchscreen of your Spectra 10000 will
display this prompt: Change Carousel Size? Tap the OK button.
The Spectra 10000 library reboots. The reboot takes about one and one-half minutes.
The reboot is completed when the Main Screen on your Spectra 10000 library is
displayed.

AssignSlotstoVirtualLibraries
Once you have implemented CoD in your Spectra 10000 library, you can assign any
given number of slots to one of two virtual libraries. To do that:
1. From the Main Menu on the Spectra 10000 touchscreen, touch the Config button.
2. This brings up the first Load User Params and Load Defaults screen that also has
buttons for Time/Date and Brighten/Contrast. Touch the More button.
3. The second Load User Params and Load Defaults screen appears that also has
buttons for Library 2 Slots and SCSI Bus 2 ID.
4. Assign SCSI Bus 2 an ID that is not already taken.
5. Touch the +or -symbols in the Library 2 Slots button will allow you to set the
number of slots you want to assign to Library 2 in 10-slot increments up to 30 slots.
(The remaining number of slots will automatically be assigned to Library 1.)
Note: You must leave at least 10 slots assigned to Library 1.
6. Touch Save Params button.
7. You will be prompted: Parameter Saved. Restart? Touch Yes.
8. It takes less than one minute for your Spectra 10000 to save the parameters you
assigned. When the Main Screen returns, your parameters have been saved.
