association CIM_DeviceServicesLocation : CIM_Dependency

Description:

Within an automated StorageLibrary, Media should be accessible to the various robotics and MediaTransferDevices (Pickers, Changers, InterLibraryPorts, etc.). The Library may be serviced by different TransferDevices, each responsible for a subset of the Library's StorageMediaLocations. The Device ServicesLocation association indicates that the Transfer Device handles Media stored in the referenced Location. For example, LibraryPort 'A' may only service Media from Slots 1-10, while LibraryPort 'B' covers Slots 11-33. This detail is conveyed by this association.
