Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005293603
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a library of a hard disk drive with a transmissive emulating interface.
A hard disk drive is shelved at a related storage position inside a library. A library control device converts a logical address which is known for a request side host computer, of a requested hard disk drive into a physical address or a position inside the library. It is preferable for a picker to load the requested disk drive onto a destination plug socket which can be made a part of a back plane of the library, and a control device accesses the hard disk drive. A library operation is transmissive for the host computer and the library emulates the storage device of a selected type.
