DRTape-Ready (Disaster Recovery Utility)

Compaq’s DRTape Disaster Recovery Utility is a new data recovery tool which replaces the traditional recovery methods associated with manual downloads from floppy or CD-ROM. DRTape is a firmware driven software utility that provides a disaster recovery solution for Compaq ProLiant servers. Embedded in the firmware of each supported tape device, DRTape uses Compaq tape drives to emulate bootable drive devices, similar to floppy and CDROM drives. When implemented, DRTape can provide for the complete recovery of server software and data. The recovery process requires the use of only one tape cartridge, in conjunction with the Compaq SmartStart CD, and can typically be completed in less than an hour.

**Note: DRTape does not support Compaq Smart Array Controllers. Please see "Compaq DRTape Compatibility Matrix" at: http://www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/drtape/compatibility.html for further information regarding the minimum requirements for operating DRTape.

Rackmount Tape Options

Supported in StorageWorks 3U and 5U Rackmount Kits, allowing customer to install up to 2 internal DLT or SDLT drives in a 3U rackmount space or up to 4 internal DLT or SDLT drives in a 5U rackmount space, respectively. Standard configuration for 3U Rackmount Kit provides two internal SCSI buses (channels) supporting one DLT or SDLT drive per bus. Standard configuration for 5U Rackmount Kit provides two internal SCSI buses (channels) supporting up to 2 DLT or SDLT drives per bus. Optional cable kit permits user to extend from two to four internal SCSI buses in 5U Rackmount Kit, increasing the performance (data transfer rate) by allowing the customer to stream data to all four drives simultaneously. Please refer to “Rackmount Tape Drive Kits” QuickSpec for further information.
