Chapter 3. Installation Planning Before installing your library , take time to review the following information. Determining the Number of Logical Libraries Yo u can partition the library into as many logical libraries as there are drives in the library .
Using Multiple Logical Libraries for Library Sharing Multiple logical libraries are an ef fective way for the library to simultaneously back up and restor e data from heterogeneous applications.
Library Partitioning and Element Addressing Library 4U systems with firmware versions of .80 and higher , and containing at least 2 drives, have the ability to configure two logical libraries (cr eate two partitions). This partitioning has been expanded with the new library firmware and half-high drive integration.
Configuration of a 2 Partition System A two partition system must have at least two drives installed. One drive must be installed in either drive position 1 or drive position 2, and another drive must be installed in either drive position 3 or drive position 4.
Configuration of a 4 Partition System A four partition system must have four drives. Each partition will contain one drive and one magazine. SCSI Element Addressing Every logical library starts at the first drive slot with the current assigned element start address (default value 256).
exception in case of a “removed” condition. A drive slot which does not contain a drive and has a position between used slots needs to be reported as a SCSI element. To signal the host application that this slot is not usable, its ACCESS bit will be disabled.
Note: For maximum performance, it is recommended to have a maximum of one drive per SCSI bus. – Only use the maximum system-to-device cable length of 25 m (82 ft) when attaching directly to one device (a point to point inter connection). Physical Characteristics of the SCSI Interface The library operates as a set of SCSI-3 devices.
The Medium Changer device is requir ed to be addressed via LUN 1 of the lowest-numbered drive position of each logical library . The Medium Changer device may additionally be addressed via LUN 1 of other drives in any logical library . Any bus containing a Medium Changer device via LUN 1 of a drive is referr ed to as a control and data path.
v LN Port: (default setting) - an automatic configuration that tries arbitrated loop first, then switched fabric v L Port - arbitrated loop v N Port - point to point protocol in a switched fabric topology Cables and Speeds Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 Fibre Channel tape drives use LC duplex fiber optics cables.
zoning capability to form a SAN partition. For systems that do not cooperate, use zoning to prevent the systems fr om sharing the same drive. Yo u can remove zoned partitions as you upgrade software and system levels.
Chapter 4. Installation and Configuration Note: Review the information in ″ Installation Planning ″ before installing your library . To install a desktop or rack mounted 2U library or 4U library , perform the procedur es in this chapter in the order they are pr esented.
T able 4-1. Location criteria (continued) Criteria Definition Clearance v Back: Minimum of 15.4 cm (6 inches) v Front: Minimum of 30.8 cm (12 inches) v Sides: Minimum of 5.08 cm (2 inches) Rack requir ements Standard 19-inch rack with: v 2U (63.5 mm/3.

Rackmounting the Library (for Rack Installation ONL Y) Attention: If you haven’t removed the shipping lock, complete this first befor e rackmounting your library . See “Removing and Storing the Shipping Lock” on page 4-4. The 2U library and the 4U library are easily installed into a standar d 19-inch rack system.

Choose ″ Left ″ or ″ Right ″ to unlock the corresponding cartridge magazine(s). The magazines can now be removed fr om the library by gently pulling each magazine out of the library . To replace a magazine, insert the back of the magazine into the front of the library and gently push the magazine into the library .
Note: This menu is only available on libraries with multiple drives. Note: Whenever there is a har dware configuration change such as drives being swapped with differ ent form factors (i.e. HH to FH or FH to HH), a library configuration change is needed.
Configure: Library The following library configuration items are in this menu: v Mode : – Random : In random mode, the library allows the server ’s (host’s) application software to select any data cartridge in any or der .
– Sequential : In sequential mode, the library’s firmware pr edefines the selection of the cartridges. After initialization, the firmware causes the library to select the first available cartridge found (counting from the I/O Station through slot 23) for loading into the drive.
For Auto Clean to function, the following criteria must be met: – On 4U libraries with library firmware of .80 or lower that still contain a Dedicated Cleaning Slot (DCS), or 4U libraries with library firmware higher than 1.95 that chose to retain the DCS in their library , a CLN cartridge must be present in that slot.
The following items are in this menu: v Drive Interface - use this to assign a SCSI ID to a SCSI drive or to assign a Port Speed, Port T ype, and Loop ID to a Fibre Channel drive.

for each test cycle requested. When completing the “Slot To Slot” test, you will need to Inventory your library before placing it back online, since this test scrambles the cartridge slot locations. The user selects the number of test cycles before starting the test fr om the EXECUTE button.
Each test will show a result of “Passed” or “Failed”. T est results will clear: v When the test is rer un v When the library is rebooted The time and date of the last test will appear below the Key Path Diagnostics screen.

Service Library: Reboot Important: Some options of the We b User Interface take the library OFFLINE. This inactive mode can interfere with host-based application softwar e, causing data loss. Ensure that the library is idle befor e attempting to perform any remote operations that will take the library OFFLINE.
3. Close the door of the I/O Station. The library will automatically start an inventory . The cartridges in the I/O Station will be counted but unassigned until they are moved into storage slots. 4. Go to Main → Control → Move Cartridges and move the data cartridges into the desired data slots.
Configuring I/O Stations and Reserving Slots 2U libraries usually have 1 slot for an I/O Station, while 4U libraries have 3 slots assigned as an I/O Station. These slots can be configured as storage if needed. To configure the I/O Station using the We b User Interface, follow these steps.

Note: The drive will automatically eject an expired cleaning cartridge. The Cleaning Cartridges are valid for 50 uses. L T04 drives cannot be cleaned with an L T01 cleaning tape.
Guidelines for Using Bar Code Labels Apply the following guidelines whenever using bar code labels: v Do not reuse a label or r eapply a used label over an existing label. v Before you apply a new label, r emove the old label by slowly pulling it at a right angle to the cartridge case.
to become a scratch (blank) data cartridge. Do not write-protect scratch (blank) cartridges; the tape drive will not be able to write new data to them. If you must manually set the write-protect switch, slide it left or right to the desired position. Handling the Cartridges Attention: Do not insert a damaged tape cartridge into the drive.
v Never ship a cartridge in a commercial shipping envelope. Always place it in a box or package. v If you ship the cartridge in a cardboar d box or a box of a sturdy material, ensure the following: – Place the cartridge in polyethylene plastic wrap or bags to protect it fr om dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
v Inspect the rear of the cartridge (the part that loads first into the tape load compartment) and ensure that ther e are no gaps in the seam of the cartridge case. If there ar e gaps in the seam (see Figure 6-6), the leader pin may be dislodged. v Check that the leader pin is properly seated.
The best storage container for the cartridges (until they are opened) is the original shipping container . The plastic wrapping prevents dirt from accumulating on the cartridges and partially protects them fr om humidity changes.
