Upgrading the Library

Upgrading Drive Capacity

Remember to:

❏ Ensure you are installing the same drive type on each level of the

library. Each level should only contain DLT or Ultrium drives.

❏ If you have a Fibre Channel library and are adding Ultrium drives

to your library, check that the high performance Fibre Channel card is installed on the same level as the Ultrium drive to ensure appropriate throughput (see Table 3-7 on page 3-14 and Table 3-8 on page 3-15 for more information on these cards).

This procedure includes information for adding DLT and/or Ultrium drives to your existing library.

Upgrading the Library

Upgrading Firmware

If you are adding Ultrium drives to your existing DLT library, you need to download firmware first before adding the new drive module. Older versions of firmware may not be compatible with Ultrium components. See “Upgrading Firmware” on page 3-2 for the procedure.

Installing a Drive Module

NOTE Yu may need to power cycle the host to use the new drive. Refer to the

backup software or operating system documentation for more information.

1. Select the drive location, and remove the vacant drive slot cover by removing the two 6-32 T-15 screws with a Torx screwdriver.

WARNING Do not insert your hand or foreign objects through the empty

drive bay and into the vertical lift assembly area.

Upgrading Drive Capacity

2. Hold the drive module with one hand on the drive module handle, while the other hand supports the bottom (Figure 1-1).

3. Install the drive by inserting the rail at the top of the drive module into the slot at the top of the drive module opening in the library.

Figure 1-1 Installing a Drive Module

4. Tighten the top and bottom thumbscrews, securing the drive module to the library.

Chapter 11-6

Upgrading the Library

Upgrading Drive Capacity

5. Connect the external cables and terminator to the drive.

• For SCSI configurations: Daisy-chain the library controller to

the first (left) drive. Connect each subsequent drive to the host interface card so that it each drive is on its own bus. Terminate the library controller and the right drive. (See Figure 1-2 on page 1-8 for an example.)

• For Fibre configurations: See Figure 1-3 on page 1-9 for an

example of how to cable a Fibre Channel library and page A-4 for front panel configuration information.

6. Add the upgrade serial number label to the pull-out tab on the back of the library. Apply this label to the tape library to ensure proper identification of any upgrades.

Configuring the New Drive

NOTE You may need to use the host backup software to recognize the new drive

when bringing it online. If the software or operating system does not have the capability to automatically detect the new drive, you may need to reboot.

Bring the new drive module online using the front panel display.

1. Enter the

2. Specify which drive module has been added, and press

3. Select

Administration then the Online Drive Repair menus.

[OK].

[Put drive online].

4. If you have increased the number of drives since the last power cycle, you must power cycle the library for it to recognize the additional drives.

The library will automatically run a self-test to check the inventory when the drive has been brought online. When the drive is successfully brought online, the new drive will adopt the SCSI ID of the current drive position. The LED on the back of the drive will be green. See Table 3-6 on page 3-13 for more information on drive LEDs.

NOTE If you have two or more of the same drive type with different firmware

revisions, the library will go into a partial availability state due to a firmware mismatch. When this occurs, the front panel will display

Available

, and the LED bar beneath the front panel display will be solid

Partly

amber. Download new drive firmware to ensure all the drives are using the same firmware revision. If you are still getting the

Partly Available

message, consult your user guide or service manual for potential causes.

Upgrading the Library

Adding Fibre Channel or Remote Management Cards

Remember to:

❏ Use high-performance Fibre Channel cards on any level of the

library that contains Ultrium drives. See Table 3-7 on page 3-14 and Table 3-8 on page 3-15 for an illustration of the highperformance and standard-performance Fibre Channel cards.

CAUTION This library contains very sensitive electrical components. It is important

to follow the proper procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when removing and replacing cards and major assemblies.

Upgrading the Library

Failure to follow proper procedures could lead to intermittent failures or premature hard failures.

CAUTION The Fibre Channel printed circuit boards contains a laser system that is

classified as a “Class-I Laser Product” under a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 and EN608251(+A11) safety of laser products.

Adding Fibre Channel or Remote Management Cards

To add a card to the library:

1. Power off the library.

2. Select the appropriate location for the card, and remove the vacant slot cover. See Figure 1-4 on page 1-12.

3. Align the top and bottom edges of the card you are adding with the card slot.

4. Gently push the card into the library until the card is flush with the library.

5. Tighten the thumbscrews (finger tight).

6. Connect external cable(s).

7. Add the upgrade serial number label to the pull-out tab on the back of the library. Apply this label to the tape library to ensure proper identification of any upgrades you do.

Upgrading the Library

8. Power on the library.

NOTE If the new card has a different version of firmware than the library, the

library could go into a partial availability state due to a firmware mismatch. In this state, the front panel will display

Partly Available, and

the LED bar beneath the front panel display will be solid amber. If this occurs, then download the most recent library firmware (See “Upgrading Firmware” on page 3-2.)

9. If installing Fibre Channel or remote management cards, configure the new card from the library front panel. See Appendix A, Configuring the Library for more information.

Chapter 1 1-13

Upgrading the Library

Upgrading to a Redundant Power Supply

Remember to:

❏ If you are adding redundant power to your library, you need to use

redundant power supplies on all library levels. All power supplies must either be redundant or standard. Mixed power supplies are not supported.

1. Disconnect all power cords from the library.

2. Remove the power supply that is shipped with the library by loosening the two thumbscrews screws and pulling the module straight out (see Figure 1-5 on page 1-15).

3. Install the redundant power supply module by aligning the bottom of the module with the bottom of the power supply bay (see Figure 1-5 on page 1-15).

4. Fully insert the power supply module into the back of the power supply bay.

5. Tighten the two 6-32 x .25 T15 screws to secure the module to the library.

6. Reconnect the power cords to the bottom of the power supplies.

7. Ensure the individual power supply units are fully installed inside the power supply module. The LEDs on each supply will be solid green when the supply is online. See Table 3-9 on page 3-16 for more information on the power supply LEDs.

Overview

NOTE For the purpose of this documentation, we will use the term Model 12/140

to indicate all library models that are five levels and higher. These models include: 4/100, 6/100, 6/120, and 6/140, 8/140, 10/140, and 12/140.

Most library parts that are used in Model 12/140 are the same as Models 2/20, 4/40, and 6/60. The procedures for replacing these common parts are documented in this chapter with exceptions noted where applicable

Some parts are unique to Model 12/140. These differences are because of the library’s increased size and the custom cabinet. Table 2-1 provides an overview of common parts and unique parts.

Removing and Replacing Drive Modules

Level of Difficulty: [2] Easy to Moderate

A drive module may be replaced in either of the following situations:

• The library is powered off during drive replacement, and the SCSI bus chain is disconnected.

• The library is connected to the host and the backup software can access the functional drives. Though drives can be replaced without disabling or interrupting most functions of the library, this feature must be supported by the backup software. (If you download new drive firmware, power cycle to activate the new firmware.)

NOTE If you are adding Ultrium drives to an existing DLT library, follow the

upgrade procedure on page 1-5.

Drive Replacement Overview

These steps are documented in more detail on the following pages.

1. Determine which drive has failed (if you are replacing a failed drive).

Replacing Library Parts

2. Unload a tape from the drive, if possible.

3. Take the drive module offline (drive module only; the library does not need to be powered off).

4. Remove the drive module.

5. Insert and connect the new drive module.

6. Bring the drive back online.

NOTE If the new drive has a different firmware revision than the drives that are

already in the library, the library could go into a partial availability state due to a firmware mismatch. When this occurs, the front panel will display will be solid amber. Download new drive firmware until all drives have the same firmware revision.

If a drive has failed or had an error, the following can happen:

• The icons on the library front panel indicate a drive with an error.

• The LEDs on the drive indicate an error.

• The library attempts to take the drive offline.

• The host indicates an error.
