The library robotics consists of the m ain components identiﬁed in Figure 4.

Description

The O CP displays library status information and allows you to access the library menus. These menus allow you to view or change the library settings, run demonstration programs, or run diagnostic tests.

The OCP is discussed in Using the OCP. Use these

options or c ommands. The functionality of these buttons changes depending on the currently displayed screen.

assembly

Picker Vertical motor

Figure 4 Library robotics

The vertical and horizontal motors m ove the library robotics into position to pick and place tape cartridges, and rotate the assembly 180˚ to allow the library robotics to pass cartridges between the side storage bins and the back storage bins or tape drives. The extension axis assembly is on top of the large robotics tray. It extends and retracts the library robotics to remove and insert the tape cartridges into bins and drives.

The library robotics includes the optical scanner that reads bar code labels (7 characters for Super Digital Linear Tape (SDLT) and 8 characters for Ultrium). The scanner is used to maintain an inventory of the tape cartridges within the library. A full inventory occurs automatically whenever the library is powered on or when the doors have been opened. An inventory of just the load ports occurs when the load ports have been opened. Inventories can also be initiated from the h ost computer.

Although the library does not require tape cartridges to have bar code labels, properly labeled tape cartridges and full storage bins speed up the inventory process and greatly improve media management.

NOTE:

If you have more than 100 unlabeled tape cartridges, your library will hang during inventory or when you power on the library. When this happens, Going on line displays in the OCP.

HP StorageWorks

Switch for the i

CAUTION:

Do not connect this switch to your local LAN. It is for internal library use only. Connecting this switch to the LAN could cause library components to perform incorrectly or report failures.

The 24-port Ethernet switch provides a private management net work to connect the Interface Manager card to the LTO4 tape drives. You must install one switch in each library that contains LTO4 tape drives.

The ESL library uses a ProCurve Switch 2124. This switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking.

The switch does not have a power switch; it is powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The switch autom a tically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required. The reset button is used to reset the switch while it is powered on. This action executes the self test, and may clear certain error conditions that have occurred.

Tape drives

The ESL E-Series tape library can hold up to 24 tape drives. When fewer than 24 drives are installed in the library, the tape drives must occupy consecutive drive clusters, beginning with drive cluster 0 (see

Figure 2).

CAUTION:

It is critical to ensure that the media you use matches the format of your tape drive. Cleaning cartridges and formatted data cartridges are unique for each drive technology. Damage may occur if inappropriate media is used in tape drives.

Tape cartridges and cleaning cartridges are not included with the library, and must be ordered in additio

By default, Autoclean is disabled. Ensure your application software supports this feature before enabling it.

n to the library.

If a drive experiences read/write errors when the Autoclean function is enabled, the library issues an error message stating that drive cleaning is required. Without user intervention, the media picker replaces

Library overview

the data cartridge with a cleaning car tridge. When the cleaning procedure ﬁnishes, the media picker returns the data cartridge to the drive.

NOTE:

Ultrium cleaning cartridges have a 50-use limit, while SDLT cleaning cartridges have a 20-use limit. Once a cleaning cartridge has reached its use limit it must be replaced. If the drive continues to request cleaning after a cleaning cartridge has been loaded, replace the cleaning cartridge with a new one.

Ultrium 460, 460-FC, 960, and 1840 tape drives

The Ultrium tape drive is a high-performance streaming tape drive that uses Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology.

Figure 6 LTO tape drives

• An Ultrium 460 or 460-FC tape drive is capable of storing up to 200 GB (native) of data per

cartridge, and has a sustained data transfer rate of up to 30 MBps (108 GBph) (native).

• An Ultrium 960 tape drive is capable of storing up to 400 G B (native) of data per car tridge, and

has a sustained data transfer rate of up to 80 MBps (native).

• An Ultrium 1840 tape drive is capable of storing up to 800 GB (native) of data per cartridge,

and has a sustained data transfer rate of up to 120 MBps (native).

Access the HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Drive users guide from h information about its features and capabilities.

SDLT 320 and 600 tape drives

The SD LT tape drive is a high-capacity, high-performance streaming tape drive that uses Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR) technology to maximize the amount of data that c an be stored on a tape.

• An SDLT 320 tape drive is capable of storing up to 160 GB (native) of data per cartridge and

has a sustained data transfer rate of 16 MBps (57.6 GBph) (native).

Ultrium tape ca

rtridges

The Ultrium 960

and Ultrium 1840 include support for both rewriteable and Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) tape car tridges. WORM tape cartridges provide an enhanced level of data security against alteration of data because you cannot erase or overwrite them. To check whether your backup or archive software application supports WORM tape cartridges, see the following web site:

ttp://www.hp.com/go/connect.

For optimum performance, always use a tape cartridge that matches the speciﬁcations of your tape drive.

NOTE:

In addition to the information provided in this manual, see the documentation provided with your media for more information.

CAUTION:

Ultrium tape drives require special cleaning cartridges and data cartridges formatted speciﬁcally for HP Ultrium. To avoid damage to your tape drive, it is critical to use appropriate cleaning cartridges and properly formatted data cartridges.

Approved media has the Ultrium format trademark, which indicates the media has passed Ultrium format compliance testing.

For best r

Librarie

esults, always use HP branded media and bar code labels. See the HP StorageWorks Tape

s Med ia and Bar Code Labels ﬂyer for information on which media and bar code labels to

use in your tape drives.

CAUTION:

Do not bulk erase Ultrium formatted cartridges. This destroys prerecorded servo information and makes the cart

ridge unusable.

Always visually inspect your tape cartridges when loading or removing them from your tape library. Taking a few minutes to check the condition of your cartridges lowers the risk of repeated failures and helps ensure uninterrupted backup.

CAUTION:

Always discard damaged tape cartridges. If a defective tape cartridge is loaded into a tape drive, it may damage the drive, potentially requiring drive replacement.

Load ports and magazines

The load ports are mechanical devices in the front panel of the library that enable you to import or export tape cartridges to and from the library via three columns of tape cartridge magazines, two magazines per column, without interrupting library operations. Removable magazines are available for both the left and right load ports with either SDLT or LTO slots.

There are 2 tape cartridge magazines in the left load port, and 4 in the right (see Figure 7). The number of tape ca r tridges in these magazines differs between the SDLT and LTO libraries. To ﬁnd the number of tape cartridges for any conﬁguration, use the tables located in Library storage locations and slot numbering

Library overview

SCSI over IP Protocol (SIPP)

Libraries can function in SIPP mode or non-SIPP mode, but not both. A library in SIPP mode looks the same as a absence of any e1200–160 interface controllers. The mode is recognized when the library is powered-on.

If a library is equipped with SIPP functionality, it transports SCSI commands through the interface controller’s FC port to the library’s robotics controller Ethernet port. SIPP delivers the error handling and retry capabilities of a TCP/IP connection.

SIPP is c compatible with e1200–160 interface controllers. If there is more than one interface controller in the library, the “master” interface controller receives the move c ommands. The Interface Manager assigns as “IC SIPP Master” the ﬁrst interface controller that it detects during the ﬁrst boot of the library after SIPP is enabled. Use Command View TL to ﬁnd out which IC is the IC SIPP M aster.

Interface Manager card

The HP StorageWorks Interface Manager is a mana gement card designed to consolidate and simplify the management of multiple FC interface controllers i nstalled in the library. It also p rovides SAN-related diagnostics a nd management for library compo nents including interface controllers, drives, and robotics. The Interface Manager card, in conjunction with HP StorageWorks Command View TL software, provides remote management of the library via a serial, telnet, or web-based graphical user interface.

In a SIPP-enabled library, the Interface Manager card is located in the bottom-most slot in the card cage; otherwise, it is located to the right of the cluster controller in drive cluster 0

Any client machine on the LAN can communicate with the Interface Manager either through the graphical user interface web interface, or through a Telnet command line interface (CLI). At a higher level, multiple libraries, each containing an Interface Manager card, can be connected to a single management station. Each Interface Manager card can communicate with only one manag em ent station, but the management station can communicate with multiple Interface Manager cards (see Figure 13).

NOTE:

IfyouarerunningCommandViewTLversion2.0orlater,youcaninstallCommandViewTLonmultiple servers (management stations) and manage the library with more than one management station at the same time. If you are running an earlier version of Command View TL, HP recommends that you install Command View TL on a single dedicated server (management station) on the LAN. However, it is possible to install Command View TL on multiple servers. In this scenario, if one management station claims a library for management, then that same library cannot be managed by any other management station. A library can only b e managed by one management station at a time.

Cross Linked libraries

A Cross Linked library is two to ﬁve library cabinets joined together by hardware, software, and ﬁrmware to function as a single high-capacity library. The Cross Link Kit connects a designated primary cabinet with another cabinet, which is called a secondary cabinet. Each Cross Link Expansion kit connects another secondary cabinet to the system. The entire system is then referred to as a library. Speciﬁc differences between primary and secondar y cabinets are explained in this section.

Cross Link cabinets functionality

The primary cabinet controls the robotics of the secondar y cabinets. The primary cabinet functions much like a normal tape library, but it also retrieves data tapes from, sends data tapes to, and assigns storage locations in the secondary cabinets. To do this, the OCP of a primary cabinet has functionality in addition to that of a standalone library.

Secondary cabinets function mainly as storage units for the Cross Linked library. Their robotics are controlled by the primary cabinet. Secondary cabinets have very limited options on the OCP.

OCPs for all three types of cabinets (standalone, primary, and secondar y) are presented in Operator

control panel (OCP).

NOTE:

In all other ways, the Cross Linked library has the same capabilities as a standalone system. Any differences in the operation of a Cross Linked library are noted in this guide.

Space requirem

In addition to the space required for standalone libraries, a CLM library requires 52 inches (130 cm) of clear space t called Floor space in HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library unpacking and installation guide for further information.

TheprimarycabinetofaCrossLinkedLibrarymustbeanESL712eor630e,oranESL322eor286e that has already been expanded to full capacity using purchased licenses installed using Command View TL. Secondary cabinets must be ESL 712e or 630e libraries.

The primary cabinet must have between 1 and 5 fully-populated clusters (that is, each of these clusters must contain 4 drives). Cabinet 2 in the library must have at least 1 drive cluster containing at least 1 drive, and may have up to 6 fully-populated clusters. Other secondary cabinets must have at least 1 drive cluster containing at least 1 drive, and may have up to 2 fully-populated drive clusters. The entire library can have up to 11 clusters and up to 44 drives. Maximum slot count in a 5 cabinet library is 3,560.

Cross Linked systems contain the following additional parts:

• Cross Link arm (CLM arm)

• Cross Link robotics controller (CLM robotics controller)

The CLM arm (see Figure 14) is used to send a shuttle between libraries. The shuttle carries a data tape cartridge so that it can be stored in a secondary cabinet or retrieved for use, as necessary.

Library storage locations and slot numbering

The HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series standalone tape library is an automated tape storage and retrieval library that may consist of up to 24 tape drives and up to 718 Ultrium tape cartridges, or 636 SDLT tape cartridges, or a combination of Ultrium and SDLT tape cartridges in a mixed-media system.

NOTE:

CLM libraries have different storage capacities and requirements depending on how many cabinets are in the library, among other considerations. Due to the number of variations possible, slot numbering for CLM libraries is not provided. The panel and general slot information presented here does apply to each cabinet within a CLM library.

The library stores tape cartridges in the following locations:

• Left panels

• Right panels

• Back panels

Library overview

NOTE:

The number of tape cartridge slots depends on the drive technology used and, on a mixed-media system, on the ratio of Ultrium and SDLT panels used and their locations. The number of back panel slots depends on how many drive clusters are in the library. See SDLT library,andMixed media library for tape cartridge quantity information.

To slide the slot panels out of the cabinet, press the slot panel latches down and pull the slot panel out of the cabinet (see Figure 18).

Mixed media library

An Ultrium or SDLT library at ﬁrmware level 2.0 or greater, can be converted into a mixed-media library by exchanging existing panel 1; panels 1 and 2; or panels 1, 2, and 3 for the type of media panel not yet in the library. Mixed-media libraries require library partitioning, with one media type per partition. See HP StorageWorks Interface Manager and Command View TL users guide to learn about and use library partitioning. Removable magazines are also required in a mixed-media library.

These requirements impact library operations in the following ways:

• If you convert panel 1 only to a new media type, neither load port ca n be used to insert or

remove media from that p anel. Because the left and right load ports are on panels 2 and 5, they musthavethesamemediatypeastherestofpanels2and5.

Library overview

• If panels 1 and 2 (or 1, 2, and 3) are converted to a new media type, the left load port can

be used to insert or remove media from the converted panels. The right load port is used to insert or remove media from the existing panels.

• The type of media added to your library is on the left side of the library only; therefore, the

additional media type has only one column of load port capacity, and the existing media type hastwocolumnsofloadportcapacity.

These are important when determining the library storage capacity. Storage capacity in a mixed-media library depends on the quantity of panels exchanged, the location of media t ypes you are using, whether the load ports are enabled, and the number of drives in the library.

NOTE:

In order to use mixed media, the library must be at ﬁrmware revision level 2.0 or greater . Update the ﬁrmware before installing mixed media in the library.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching internal cabinet components. To use the wrist strap

properly, place the band around your wrist and attach the clip to the cabinet frame. Keep the strap on until you are ready to close the cabinet doors.

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their ship ping containers until ready for installation.

• Do not place static-sensitive parts on any metal surface. If you need to put down a static-sensitive

part, place it inside its protective shipping bag or on a grounded a ntistatic mat.

• Avoid direct contact with static-sensitive parts. Avoid touching connectors and discrete

components.

• Close cabinet door and access panel when not working on the cabinet.

• Be careful when installing the cabinet or handling components in dry climates or environments

where cold weather heating is used. Environments such as these with lower relative humidity have greater potential to produce static electricity.

NOTE:

In environments with high potential for static electricity, take additional precautions, such as the use of an antistatic smock or a grounded antistatic mat.

HP StorageWorks

Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library and application software to identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time. Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your tape cartridges. Your host software may need to keep track of the following information and the associated bar code:

• Date of format or initialization

• Tape’s media pool

• Data residing on the tape

• Age of the backup

• Errors encountered while using the tape (to determine if the tape is faulty)

NOTE:

If you have more than 100 unlabeled tape cartridges, your library will hang during inventory or when you power on the library. When this happens, Going on line displays in the OCP.

Ultrium bar code labels

Ultrium cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch. Use this area for attaching the adhesive-backed ba r code label (see Figure 22). Do not apply labels onto the cartridge except in this designated area.

CAUTION:

The bar code label should be applied as s hown in Figure 25, with the alphanumeric portion facing the hub side of the cartridge. N ever apply multiple labels onto a cartridge, because extra labels can cause the cartridge to jam inside a tape drive.

Inserting tape cartridges

Load tape cartridges into the library starting with the left side panels, then the right side panels, and ﬁnally the back panel (see Library storage locations and slot numbering for detailed installation procedures). Be sure all cartridges are properly positioned with the barcode facing you and fully seated in the bins.

CAUTION:

Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or bang them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic interference. Rough handling can displace the tape leader, making the cartridge unusable and p otentially hazardous to the tape drives.

The Sequential Slot Test, Sequential Drive Test, Random Test, Random Slot Test, and Random Slot to Drive Test can be run from 1-500 times, or continuously until the test is manually ended. For each drive or slot test, running it once will check one drive or slot, whereas running it 100 times will check 100 drives or slots. If tests are run mo re times than there are drives or slots, the library will test d rives or slots multiple times until it has performed the requested number of tests.

For example, if a library has 25 full slots and a sequential slot test is set to run 50 times, the library will test slots 1-25, then begin at 1 again and test through 25. If you set the same library to run the sequential slot test 60 times, it will test 1-25, 1-25, then 1-10.

Inserting tape cartridges into a ﬁxed load port

With load ports enabled, tape cartridges are inserted into ﬁxed magazines on the ﬁrst column of the left panel and the ﬁrst two columns of the right panel. Fixed magazines hold 18 Ultrium cartridges or 16 SDLT cartridges.

To insert a tape cartridge into a ﬁxed magazine:

1. Prepare the tape car tridges to be inserted by afﬁxing a bar code label and write-protecting or

write-enabling each cartridge as desired. For more information about these procedures, see Inserting tape car tridges.

2. With the load port door open, place the tape cartridges in any available load magazine slot.

The proper orientation for tape cartridge insertion is shown in Ultrium tape cartridges and SDLT

320and600tapecartridges.

3. Manually close the load port door by pushing the load port assembly into the cabinet. You will hear

a click when it locks into position.

Basic troubleshooting

Simplify the installation by reducing it to the most basic conﬁguration. Then, add elements one at a tim e, verifying the operation after each step.

Basic troubleshooting includes verifying the setup and the connections, including:

• Verifying SCSI bus conﬁguration

• Verifying FC port connection

• Verifying FC and SCSI devices in Windows NT

• Verifying the interface controller conﬁguration

• Verifying devices

• Verifying host conﬁguration

• Verifying HBA device driver information

• Verifying serial port conﬁguration

Each of these topics is discussed in the following sections.

Verifying FC port connection

IfSCSIdevicesarerecognizedontheSCSIbuses,butdonotappeartotheFChost,itmaybethattheFC link is not properly established. Most hubs and switches have link indicators showing link status. When the FC interface controller is connected and powered on, this link indicator shou ld be solid. If it is not, check the cabling or connections.

One method of verifying link integrity when connected to a functional host involves disconnecting and then reconnecting the FC cable. This procedure should cause momentary activity of this indicator as the link reinitializes.

Additionally, verify that the cable type of the FC interface controller and the attached hub, HBA, or switch a re of corresponding types. When using optical media, verify that the attached device is using non-OFC type o ptical devices.

NOTE:

By default, the FC port speed is set to 2 Gb/s for the e2400–160 and e2400–FC 2G, and 4 Gb/s for the e2400–FC 4G. Changes to the FC port speed must be manually set, such as for 1 Gb/s. If set incorrectly and the FC interface controller is pluggedintoaLooporFabric,theunitmayreceive framing errors, which c an be found in the trace logs, and the ﬁber link light will be off because of the incorrect FC link speed.

Verifying FC and SCSI devices in Windows NT

When mapping FC and SCSI devices, verify the FC and SCSI devices are recognized by the FC interface controller.

Windows NT may need to be rebooted with all SCSI devices and the FC interface controller powered on before recognizing the devices.

To verify the FC and SCSI devices:

1. Navigate to the Windows NT Control Panel, and select SCSI Adapters.

2. Double-click the FC H BA.

The SCSI devices should be listed. If no devices are listed, verify the FC interface controller conﬁguration, FC HBA conﬁguration, and cabling. If devices are listed, verify the FC HBA mapping mode or the AL_PA addresses.

It may be useful to check the release notes for the device driver to see if there are any speciﬁcissuesor arequiredconﬁguration. It may also be useful to ensure that the current version of the HBA driver is being used.

Older applications can have expectations about what constitutes a valid SCSI ID, and thus may not correctly handle certain mappings. This is not an issue for the operating system or most applications. However, some applications may exhibit difﬁculties addressing target IDs greater than 15 (16 and higher.) To resolve this situation in a direct attach conﬁguration, conﬁgure the FC inter face controller to use hard addressing

For longer life of recorded or unrecorded tape cartridges:

• Do not carry cartridges loosely in a container that exposes them to unnecessary physical shock.

Dropping or bumping car tridges may dislodge and damage internal c omponents.

• Store tape cartridges vertically in their protective cases until needed. Store tape cartridges in a

clean environment that duplicates the conditions of the room in which they will be used.

• Use tape cartridges in temperatures between 50˚Fto104˚F(10˚Cand40˚C).

• If a tape cartridge has been exposed to extreme heat or cold, stabilize the tape cartridge at room

temperature for the same amount of time it was exposed for up to 24 hours.

• Keep cartridges out of direct sunlight and do not place tape cartridges near electromagnetic

interference sources, such as terminals, motors, and video or X-ray equipment. Doing so may cause data on the tape cartridge to be altered or erased.

• Do not touch the tape medium or open the tape door unnecessarily. Dust and skin oils can

contaminate the tape, impact performance, and cause damage.

• Store tape car tridges in a dust-free environment where the relative humidit y is between 20 percent

and80percent.Forlongertapecartridgelife,storethetapecartridgeat40percentto60 percent relative humidit y.

• Use only HP qualiﬁed bar code labels. Apply them only in the designated areas of the tape

cartridge, and do not apply more than one per cartridge.

• Follow guidelines provided by the tape cartridge manufacturer.

If a tape cartridge is dropped or damage is suspected, gently shake the tape cartridge:

• If it rattles, it is damaged. Restore the data on the tape cartridge if possible and discard the

damaged tape cartridge.

• If it doesn’t rattle, check the tape leader inside the cartridge. To do this, open the door on the

rear of the tape car tridge by releasing the door lock. The tape leader should be visible at the top-left of the tape cartridge.

DonotuseaDLT,DLT1,orVScleaningtape(almondincolor)inanSDLTdrive.SDLTcleaningtapes are gray and use a 7- or 8-character bar code label, CLNxxxS or CLNxxxS1.

To clean the tape heads:

1. Move a cleaning cartridge into the drive using your application software. The tape drive

automatically loads the cartridge and cleans the heads. During the cleaning cycle the drive’s green Ready LED ﬂashes. At the end of the cleaning cycle,

the drive ejects the cartridge.

2. Remove the cleaning cartridge from the drive.

Cleaning Ultrium tape drives

Be aware of the following:

• Ultrium tape drives have been developed to have a minimal cleaning requirement.

• An HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge can be used up to 50 times. If you are using an

older HP Ultrium cleaning ca rtridge, check the documentation that came with your media.

CAUTION:

Only use HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridges in Ultrium tape drives.

• If the cleaning cartridge is ejected immediately, then it has expired or is not a n Ultrium cleaning

cartridge. Discard it and use a new one.

To clean the tape heads:

1. Move a cleaning cartridge into the drive using your application software. The tape drive

automatically loads the cartridge and cleans the head s. The cleaning cycle can take up to ﬁve minutes.

2. Move the cleaning cartridge back to the proper storage bin using your application software.

B Relocating th e library

CAUTION:

HP strongly recommends that an HP authorized service representative relocate a library to another location.

This appendix explains how to relocate the library. As used in this appendix, the term relocate means either to ship the library or simply to move it to a nearby location (for example, from one area in a building to another).

NOTE:

These instructions address relocating a standalone library. To relocate a Cross Linked (CLM) Library, you must remove the CLM co mponents including the brackets that connect the cabinets together, and ensure that you have room for the entire system when selecting a new location. Otherwise, treat the cabinets as if each were a separate library that you are relocating.
