1.0 ATTO FastStream VT 5300 increases reliability
The ATTO FastStream™ Virtual Tape 5300 Appliance is a mid-range storage solution that emulates a
tape library for fast backups on demand and error-free restores of critical data.
The ATTO FastStream Virtual Tape 5300 is seen
by system applications as a conventional tape
library, allowing you to use existing disk-based
storage as if it were tape.
The ATTO FastStream VT 5300 delivers
immediate performance improvements to backup,
restore and archive applications.
Adding a disk-based Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
ensures high speed access to your data. The

Introduction
1.1 Physical attributes
The ATTO FastStream VT 5300 is a Fibre Channel to SCSI virtual tape appliance which can be seamlessly
integrated into an existing storage environment.
The ATTO FastStream VT 5300 is available in an
industry-standard 1U form factor for easy integration
into racks. It supports next-generation media and, as a
result, is equipped to handle the throughputs needed by
advanced disk technologies.

Cooling and airflow
Operating Temperature:
Humidity:
10-90% non-condensing
Air enters from the front and is exhausted out the
connector side by a blower inside the enclosure which
provides 11 cubic feet per minute of airflow. Ambient
air near the inlets should not exceed 40°C. The unit
automatically stops operation if the temperature goes
beyond this threshold.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Do not block the enclosure’s vents. The
FastStream VT 5300 shuts down if
overheating occurs.
0-40° C external
Power
The power supply circuit is permanently mounted
within the enclosure and is not hot swappable. It has
one standard IEC320 power receptacle and switch.
The universal power supply provides power for the
FastStream VT 5300 board and cooling fan.
The power requirements of the ATTO FastStream VT
5300 plus the power draw of the other equipment in
the rack must not overload the supply circuit and/or
wiring of the rack.
Input voltage:
10/230V AC, with operating input
range of 90-132V AC or 175-264V AC, 47-63Hz,
single phase. The AC input range selection is
automatic with no manual or jumper switchover
required.
Power draw:
2 amps at 110V, 1.6 amps @ 90V
Fibre Channel port
The four independent 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel ports
can connect the FastStream VT 5300 to either a Fabric
or Arbitrated Loop.
• Full support for full duplex FC data transfers, FCAL, PLDA and public loop login.
• Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) interface
• Auto negotiates with 1-, 2- and 4-Gb/sec.
devices
SCSI ports
The two SCSI ports connect storage devices into the
Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). Each
port is totally independent from the other.
The ports are Ultra 320 SCSI busses with VHDCI
connector, downward compatible with all forms of
single-ended SCSI and all previous SCSI protocols.
Ethernet port
The 10/100 Base T Ethernet port is accessible from the
RJ45 connector. Local diagnostics are supported
through an integrated web server (ATTO FastStream
VT 5300 browser-based user interface), CLI, Telnet
and FTP. Includes support for DHCP, Telnet, FTP,
SNMP and ICMP.
Serial port
The RS-232 serial port provides
support for remote monitoring and
management using a DB9 connector.
The baud rate is programmable and
preset at the factory to 115200 bps.
LED indicators
The LED indicators can be viewed from the connector
side and the front side of the FastStream VT 5300.
(See Exhibit 1.1)
LEDs on the connector side are:
A bicolor Ready/Fault LED
ready, lights yellow to show a faulted condition, and is
off to indicate not ready.
Embedded in the Ethernet port connector:
lighted green LED shows a valid link; off indicates
that no link is present. A separate blinking yellow LED
indicates activity.
Fibre Channel port:

Installation
2.0 Installation
If you have not already completed the instructions on the Quick Start page packed with your FastStream
VT 5300, use the following instructions to install the FastStream VT 5300.
Unpack the packing box; verify contents
• The FastStream. Note the serial number of your
FastStream unit: ________________________
• Power cord
• “L” brackets for mounting in a 19” rack
• CD which includes the Firmware, Installation
and Operation Manual, QuickNAV IP discovery
program and system drivers
Install the FastStream
1 Place the FastStream VT 5300 on a stable flat
surface or install it into a standard rack.
If installing into a rack,
a. Attach “L” brackets so that the front side
with the LEDs face front and the connector
side is at the back.
b. Install the FastStream horizontally within
the rack so it does not reduce the air flow
within the rack.
2 Connect the FastStream Fibre Channel ports to
your SAN using SFPs and multimode fiber optic
cables. Keep cable lengths as short as possible
to ensure the highest signal quality and
performance. For details, refer to Cabling
page i of the Appendix.
3 Connect SCSI storage devices to the
FastStream SCSI ports. For details, refer to
Cabling
4 Power up the SCSI devices
5 Connect the Ethernet port to your network. For
details, refer to Cabling
Appendix.
6 Connect the AC power cord from the
FastStream to the proper AC source outlet.

2.1 Configure Virtual Tape
The ATTO FastStream VT 5300 allows configuration of storage into a JBOD, RAID Level 0, RAID Level
1, RAID Level 10 or RAID Level 5 Virtual Tape Library (VTL). RAID is a storage configuration which
uses multiple drives to increase capacity, performance and/or reliability.
The FastStream VT 5300 appears to hosts as a
tape library, allowing ISV packages to issue a set
of tape library commands to perform backup and
restore operations to the FastStream.
The FastStream VT 5300 configures your storage
into one or two Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL)
depending on the choices you make using the
FastStream GUI (refer to
Interface options
on
page 23).
For every Virtual Tape Library created on the
FastStream VT 5300, an underlying RAID Group
is created from the selected drives to provide the
physical storage medium for the virtual tape
cartridges.
You may either use the
Custom Initial Setup
• Quick Configuration: quickly generates a
Virtual Tape Library after you answer a few
key questions. The procedure uses all
attached SCSI disks to build a single VTL. If
you want to initially create more than one

configuration after initial setup.
• Custom Setup: allows you to configure the
FastStream VT 5300 to

reliability for your
application. If you want to

or
Whichever method you choose,
you may change the
configuration later. However,
changing configuration erases
data and may affect performance.
Backup all previously stored data
and plan carefully if you choose to use the custom
setup procedure.
Explanations of many aspects of the FastStream
VT 5300 operation are displayed when choices
are made in the FastStream GUI. Read all
information and warnings.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Selecting Commit during configuration
causes all previous storage data on the
drive to be erased. Make sure all of your
information is backed up.
Before beginning these procedures you may want
to ensure drives are reliable by initializing and
verifying the drives in your system as outlined in

If a member of a virtual device becomes degraded
or faulted, you lose some redundancy in your
VTL until a new member is rebuilt into the VTL.
However, Hot Spare devices may be designated
as replacements for faulted devices without
intervention by you or a host.
Note
JBOD and RAID Level 0 groups do not provide
redundancy, making Hot Spare devices
unnecessary.
The ATTO FastStream VT 5300 replaces
degraded or faulted virtual devices in VTL
without intervention by you or a host if you set up
a pool of Hot Spare devices of different sizes
appropriate for your VTL.
Note
Block devices in the Hot Spare
pool should be of appropriate size
to the RAID Group so that smaller
block devices are not replaced by
much larger Hot Spare devices.
Note
Hot Spares may be set up by the FastStream
VT 5300 automatically depending on your
choices during initial setup.

2.2 Optional changes to system parameters
Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using ATTO
FastStream VT 5300 browser-based user interface.
Customize the username, password
It is best practice to change the default username
and password to a username and password
significant to you.
While opening a Command Line Interface session
is not usually recommended, you must use the
CLI to change the username and password.
Note
The username is case insensitive and
password is case sensitive.
Change system configurations
You may change several parameters using the
