This requirement is described under Backup DAM Volumes and Physical Disk Drives on page 3-2.

General Syntax Notation

The following list summarizes the notation conventions for syntax presentation in this manual.

UPPERCASE LETTERS. Uppercase letters indicate keywords and reserved words; enter these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

MAXATTACH

5257/5257ACL Installation and User's Guide for NonStop Himalaya S-Series Tape Enclosures —522344-001 ix

About This Guide

General Syntax Notation

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items that you supply. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

file-name

[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:

TERM [\system-name.]$terminal-name

INT[ERRUPTS]

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or none. The items in the list may be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines. For example:

FC [ num ] [ -num] [ text]

K [ X | D ] address-1

{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are required to choose one item. The items in the list may be arranged either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:

LISTOPENS PROCESS { $appl-mgr-name }

{ $process-name }

ALLOWSU { ON | OFF }

| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in brackets or braces. For example:

INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }

… Ellipsis. An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times. For example:

M address-1 [ , new-value ]...

[ - ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}...

An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat that syntax item any number of times. For example:

"s-char..."

Punctuation. Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously described must be entered as shown. For example:

error := NEXTFILENAME ( file-name ) ;

LISTOPENS SU $process-name.#su-name

About This Guide

General Syntax Notation

Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a required character that you must enter as shown. For example:

"[" repetition-constant-list "]"

Item Spacing. Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:

CALL STEPMOM ( process-id ) ;

If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In the following example, there are no spaces permitted between the period and any other items:

$process-name.#su-name

Line Spacing. If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For example:

ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] LINE

[ , attribute-spec ]...

The following list summarizes the notation conventions for the presentation of displayed messages in this manual.

Bold Text. Bold text in an example indicates user input entered at the terminal. For example:

ENTER RUN CODE

?123

CODE RECEIVED: 123.00

The user must press the Return key after typing the input.

Nonitalic text. Nonitalic letters, numbers, and punctuation indicate text that is displayed or returned exactly as shown. For example:

Backup Up.

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items whose values are displayed or returned. For example:

p-register

process-name

[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose items that are sometimes, but not always, displayed. For example:

Event number = number [ Subject = first-subject-value ]

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list of all possible items that can be displayed, of which one or none might actually be displayed. The items in the list might be

proc-name trapped [ in SQL | in SQL file system ]

{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list of all possible items that can be displayed, of which one is actually displayed. The items in the list might be arranged either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:

obj-type obj-name state changed to state, caused by { Object | Operator | Service }

process-name State changed from old-objstate to objstate

{	Operator	Request. }
{	Unknown.	}

| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in brackets or braces. For example:

Transfer status: { OK | Failed }

%Percent Sign. A percent sign precedes a number that is not in decimal notation. The

%notation precedes an octal number. The %B notation precedes a binary number. The %H notation precedes a hexadecimal number. For example:

%005400

P=%p-register E=%e-register

Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this edition of the manual and the preceding edition. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right margin of changed portions of text, figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars highlight new or revised information. For example:

The message types specified in the REPORT clause are different in the COBOL85 environment and the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).

The CRE has many new message types and some new message type codes for old message types. In the CRE, the message type SYSTEM includes all messages except LOGICAL-CLOSE and LOGICAL-OPEN.

Product Overview

NonstopTM Himalaya Tape Enclosure

The enclosures can be purchased as a base enclosure or a stackable enclosure. An ESD rear cover will be on the back of the enclosures to protect the copper and fiber cabling. The bottom compartment in the base enclosure needs to be left empty for stability and to avoid physical injury to personnel during installation and operation. All tape enclosures are configured for the NonStop Himalaya S-series server and are designed to fit both the 5257 drive and the 5257ACL drive.

Tape Enclosure Configuration

Valid configurations for the tape enclosures are:

∙For single enclosures, up to four 5257 drives or two 5257ACL drives can be stored. Configuration can also include a combination of the 5257 drive and the 5257ACL drive.

∙For two high enclosures, up to ten 5257 drives or five 5257ACL drives can be stored. Configuration can also include a combination of the 5257 drive and 5257ACL drive.

Overview and Features

5257/5257ACL Tape Drives

The 5257/5257ACL tape drives are a high performance, high capacity, streaming cartridge tape product designed for use on midrange and high-end computing systems. These drives provide 110 GB of storage capacity, with transfer speeds of 11 MB/second.

	Length	Width	Height	Weight
5257	27 3/8 in	8 3/4 in	7 in	24 lbs
5257 ACL	27 1/4 in	17 9/16 in	7 1/8 in	55 lbs

High Capacity Features

The 5257/5257ACL tape drives accept the Super DLTtape 1 cartridge. Native and compressed capacity ranges for the Super DLTtape 1 cartridge are:

∙

Native storage capacity = 110 GB

Compressed storage capacity = 220 GB (2:1 compression ratio)

In accordance with industry practice, a typical compression ratio of 2:1 is quoted. Actual compression ratios achieved are dependent on the redundancy of data files being recorded.

Backward Read Compatibility (BRC) Transfer

Rates

A backward read compatibility feature is available for the 5257/5257ACL drive which allows it to read formats written on DLTtape IV type media. Transfer rates quoted are nominal reading uncompressed data.

Media Format (Uncompressed)	BRC Transfer Rate (Nominal, native)
(40 GB) Benchmark drive type DLT -1	3.0 MB/second
(40 GB) DLT 8000	4.0 MB/second
(35 GB) DLT 7000	3.5 MB/second
(20 GB) DLT 4000	1.5 MB/second

Unpacking the Tape Enclosure

Figure 2-1. How the Tape Enclosures are Packaged

To unpack the tape enclosure, use the next procedure. Use Figure 2-1 and the instructions on the outside of the shipping crate as references.

Note. The base tape enclosure (uncrated) weighs approximately 312 lbs (141.5 kg). The stackable enclosure (uncrated) weighs approximately 570 lbs (258.5 kg). Additional personnel may be required to move the stackable unit.

1. Move the tape enclosure into place. See Figure 2-2.

Tape Enclosure Configuration Hazards

WARNING. Do not stack a system enclosure on a tape enclosure. The server is heavier than the tape enclosure, and stacking it on top of the tape enclosure causes the unit to be unstable as shown in Figure 2-8.
