Spectra T950 or T-Finity Library The BlueScale software component
identifier for drives has the form FRx/DBAx/Y-DRVx:
 FRx is the number of the frame from left to right when viewed from
the front of the library.
 DBAx is the number of the drive bay assembly containing the drive;
a DBA holds up to four drives. If the optional DBAs shown in the
photo are replaced by TeraPack Bay Assemblies, the top DBA
becomes DBA 3.
 Y is the drive type
 fLTO refers to a Fibre Channel LTO drive.
 LTO refers to a SCSI LTO drive.
 fTS11x0 refers to a Fibre Channel TS1140 technology drive.
 DRVx is the number of the drive bay in the DBA.
This figure shows the relationship between the DBA number and the
drive locations used in the identifier. The relationship between the DBA
number and drive locations is the same for each additional drive frame.
Example If a Fibre Channel drive is installed in frame 1, DBA2, drive
position 4, its identifier is FR1/DBA2/fLTO-DRV4.
