If it's anything like the IBM Magstar 3570 the numbers go starting from
right to left (31 being the right-most) slot - that's the "Home" column. On
the 3570, 16, is the drive (I think 15 would be the other if we actually had
both like we are supposed to).
I hope that helps, or at least starts you in the right direction.

Subject: Sun Storedge L280 question...
Ok, I know these are basically some Storedge model but...
These are the models with two (2) internal tapes and a six (6) tape
removable magazine.
If one loads up one of these devices and performs a label libvol ...
search=yes one ends up with tapes such as

L280A A0002 Scratch 32
L280A A0003 Scratch 33
L280A A0004 Scratch 34
L280A A0005 Scratch 35
L280A A0006 Scratch 36
L280A A0007 Scratch 37
L280A A0008 Scratch 38
Can anyone tell me for sure how these tapes are oriented within the unit ?
are 37 & 38 the internal tapes and are 31-36 the six in the magazine ?
are 31-36 left to right or right to left ?
I have environments half way around the world and I'm trying real hard to
NOT have to fly there to resolve some issues...
