-====== Virtual Slot ======
-The **Virtual Slot** allocation is a number of the slot based on sequential numbering of all slots from the zones allocated to a repository.
-For this example we will use three LTO storage racks.  Each of these racks with:
-  * a capacity of 100 tapes
-  * 10 storage shelves.
-  * 10 slots per shelf.
-These racks will be assigned names of Rack_01, Rack_02 and Rack_03
-----
-If these three racks are completely assigned to one repository, there will be 300 virtual slots available for volume allocation.
-  * Slot 1 would be the first slot in Rack_01
-  * Slot 100 would be the last slot in Rack_01
-  * Slot 101 would be the first slot in Rack_02
-  * Slot 201 would be the first slot in Rack_03
-  * Slot 300 would be the last slot in Rack_03
-Assigning volumes to slots
-  * volume 000001L5 to slot 1
-  * volume 000002L5 to slot 100
-  * volume 000003L5 to slot 101
-  * volume 000004L5 to slot 201
-  * volume 000005L5 to slot 300

-If the first 50 slots in storage rack 1 were assigned to customer AAAA, and the rest of the racking, 250 slots, assigned to customer BBBB.
-For Customer AAAA
-  * Slot 1 would be the first slot in Rack_01
-  * Slot 50 would be the 50th slot in Rack_01
-For Customer BBBB
-  * Slot 1 would be the 51st slot in Rack_01
-  * Slot 50 would be the 100th slot in Rack_01
-  * Slot 51 would be the 1st slot in Rack_02
-  * Slot 151 would be the 1st slot in Rack_03
-  * Slot 250 would be the 100th slot in Rack_03
-====== Physical Slot ======
-The **Physical Slot** allocation is a slot number showing the physical location of a slot in the storage rack that remains unaltered regardless of which repository or customer it is allocated to.
-For this example we will use three LTO storage racks, each with a capacity of 100 tapes over 10 shelves.
-----
-If these three racks are completely assigned to one repository, there will be 300 virtual slots available for volume allocation.
-  * Slot 1 would be storage rack 1, shelf 1, slot 1
-  * Slot 100 would be storage rack 1, shelf 10, slot 10
-  * Slot 101 would be storage rack 2, shelf 1
-  * Slot 201 would be the first slot in storage rack 3
-  * Slot 300 would be the last slot in storage rack 3
