Multi-Unit Library Systems

The Library features SmartScale Storage™ , an architecture that lets you combine multiple units into an integrated library system. This architecture enables the robotics in each of the Library units to exchange cartridges by means of a ve rtical PTM. Unde r the control of the unit you configure to be the master unit, the PTM integrates the robotics in the indi vidual slave units into a single high-performance library robotics system. For more information, see Appendix C, “Installation.”

The SmartScale Storage architecture gives you a truly scaleable library that can smoothly expand to mee t your growing storage needs. You can start with a system configured to your present requirements, confident that as your storage needs evolve, adding units and extending the PTM can easily modify the Library. Add drives for faster performance or magazine space for greater capacity, as needed. Then just turn on the power, and immediately the system updates the system map so the host is informed of the expanded capability. The SmartScale Storage architecture has built-in redundancy so that if the master unit fails, a slave unit (slave 0) can be configured to take over as the mas ter unit. This is done without having to make hardware changes except moving the motor cable to the new master.

Tape Cartridge Magazine Mail Slot

If your host software permits, you can us e the front slot in the tape cartridge magaz ine (the first slot you see when you open the door) as a mail slot for inserting or removing a single cartrid ge without interrupting host operations in progress. The mail sl ot i s implemented as the SCSI IMPORT/EXPORT commands.

SCSI Interface

The unit presents the following to the host:

■ A single SCSI medium changer device with a single SCSI medi um transport element

■ A number of SCSI storage el ements equal t o the total number of cartrid ge magazine slots

■ A single SCSI import/export element

■ A number of SCSI data tra nsfer elements equal to the total number of dr ives in the Libr ary

Multi-Server Data Sharing

A host computer with a SCSI controller connected to a bus is a SCSI initiator. The Li brary is a SCSI target. SCSI rules permit multiple initiators on a single bus. Therefore, with the proper host software, it is possible to connect multiple hosts to a s ingle Library over a single SCSI bus. This allows multiple hosts to operate the library robotic s, loading and unloading cartridges as each host requires.

In a library syst em with many drives, it might be desirable to use multiple SCSI buses for the drives so the data transfer rate of the drives is not limited by bus bandwidth. Individual drive s can be connected to separate hosts. Using special software, one of the hosts can act as a master server, processing all robotics commands and permitting several hosts to share a common database.

SCSI Configuration

The Library standard SCSI interface is a Fast/Wide LVD/SE using high-density, 68-pin D-series connectors. For more information, see Appendix C, “Installation.”

SCSI Bus Performance Considerations

System Description 1-3

Drives

With a standard Fast/Wide SCSI interface, each drive offers a sustained native data transfer rate of 6 MB/s. In a two-drive unit, the total native rate is twice these rates. The rates for compressed data are the native rates multiplied by the compression factor, whic h depends on file content, but averages approximately 2:1.

Data Transfer Rate

The data tra nsfer rate of the Library depe nds on the type of the AIT drive, number of drives, and the number of drives connected to the SCSI bus. The library robotics imposes minimal loading on the bus.

AIT-2 Fast/Wide @ 40 MB/s (burst) AIT-2 Sustained @ 6 MB/s (native)

Each drive has a maximum sust ained rate of 12 MB/s with compressed data. As a result, the transfer rate of a two-drive unit occupies t he full bandwidth of the bus. Shar ing a SCSI bus among more than two drives degrades the maximum performance of the library system.

Internal Cabling Configuration

Each SCSI bus i n t he Library is wired separately. The library ro botics and drive 1 share one bus; add-on drives are connected to separate SCSI buses. SCSI jumper cables are available to allow the drives and robotics of a uni t to be daisy-c hained to a single SCSI bus. For m ore detailed information, see Appendi x C, “Installation.”

@ 12 MB/s (compressed)

1-4 Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series LIbrary Maintenance and Service Guide

Bus Length Limitations

A single-ended Fast/Wide SCSI bus is limited i n length to 10 ft (3 m), including cabling within the units. A differential Fast/Wide SCSI bus can be up to 82 ft (25 m) in len gt h, inclu ding cabling within the units. If all devices and host adapter are LVD, length is limite d t o 39 ft (12 m).

Independent SCSI Buses for SE

For those two-drive applications where both AIT drives run in SCSI SE mode (rather than LVD mode), each drive must be connected to its own SCSI bus.

Physical Configuration

The Library is configured as a tabletop model. To convert a tabletop Library to a rackmounted model, order the Compaq Conversion Kit Par t Number 175199-B21.

Shuttle Lockdown Mechanism

Compaq has installed a shuttle lockdown mechanism as a precautionary safety mechani s m to prevent damage to the Libr ary during shi pment from the f actory. The mechanism is a springloaded screw in the back of the Library that secures the shuttle to a bracket.

NOTE: You must release the shuttle lockdown mechanism before powering up the unit or it will not operate. See Appendix C, “Installation,” for more information.

There are four LED indicators on the control panel, labeled Ready (green), Use Cleaner (yellow), Drive Fault (red), and Loader Fault (red).

The Ready LED (green) lights when the Library computer. The Ready LED goes out when you enter the Menu mode, indicating that the Library is offline.

The Use Cleaner LED (yellow) indicates that one or more of the drives in the Library cleaning. Perform a cleaning operation as described in Chapter 5, “Maintenance.” When the Use Cleaner LED lights, you can find out which drive needs cleaning by selecting Cleaning Needed on the Drive Status submenu.

When either the Drive Fault or the Loader Fault LED (red) lights, a Fault screen appears on the LCD display. The Fault screen is described later in this chapter.

See Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” for a list of Fault Symp tom Codes (FSC) and Error Recovery Procedures (ERP).

Buttons

There are four buttons on the control panel: Escape directly control specific functions or opt ions. Instead, you use the buttons to navigat e from the Default screen through a multi-level menu structure, then select the desired option from the appropriate menu using the Enter under various conditions.

Inserting and Removing Cartridges

The tape magazine must be r emoved from the Library in order to remove or insert cartridges (see Figure 2-4). Make sure t he slot you want t o use is not already reserved for a cartridge that is now in a drive. The safest way to do this is to unload all drives before removing the magazine. You can unload all the drives either through your host computer software or by using the LOAD/UNLOAD command on the Main menu.

Make sure the control panel is unlocked. When the control panel is locked, it is impossible to enter the Menu Mode. The host computer must allow removal of the magazine. The host software can enable or disable the door unloc k function using the SCSI PREVENT/ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command. If the host is preventing removal, when you select Unlock Door on the Main menu and pr ess the Enter

Enter button, the message Magazine Locked appears.

EnterEnter

The host software should be able to release the magazine without shutting down. If ho st computer failure prevents the host from releasing the lock, cycle power to the Library.

IMPORTANT: If you are still unable to open the magazine door, see “Emergency Magazine Removal,” later in this chapter.

Introduction

This chapter describes the problems that can cause the Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series Library (AIT Library) t o malfunction, including:

■ Platform problems

■ General drive errors

■ Error recovery

■ Fault Symptom Codes (FSCs)

Chapter 4

Troubleshooting

Platform Problems

Incorrect installation and configurat ion cause platform problem s . In this case, the Library appears to be operating nor mally, but no data can be int erchanged. You may or may not get an error code on the control panel. To identify an error ca used by this t ype of problem, check your installation and configur ation setup. See Appendix C, “ Installation,” for more information.

General Drive Errors

General drive errors usua lly result from a miscommunic ation between a module’s processor and a drive processor or a mechanical malfunction within the Library.

Both platform problems and general drive errors display an error messa ge and a Fault Syste m Code (FSC) on the control panel. Use the FS C t o report errors to your Techni cal Support representative, or in some cases, to determine a recovery procedure.

A simple error recovery procedure appears at the bottom line of the control panel display. You can clear some errors by pressing the Enter to the Library.

Precaution

■ You should be trained and authorized to perform these procedures.

■ Before performing any of the following procedures, take all appropriate precautions to

prevent damage from Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).

■ Always disconnect AC power before working on any of the Library in t ernals.

■ When any procedure req uires you to manually move the shuttle assembly, always pu sh the

assembly from the bottom and never from the top.

Ferrites

To protect against Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), many cables are equipped with attached ferrite assemblies. The ferrite cores are encased in two-part plastic enclosures that clasp shut around the cables. You wi ll find moving cables easier if you remove an obstructing ferrite. If so, pry the enclosures open gently in order to not break the clasps. Be sure to reposition each ferrite after you complete the replacement procedures.

Using Loctite 222

All screws that do not use lock washers, captive washers, or lock nuts must have Loc tite 222 applied when re-assembled in the field.

NOTE: If you neglect this step, the mechanism could fail prematurely.

Some parts have been assembled using screws with Loctite applied. You will have to use extra torque when removing these screws. Be careful not to strip them. Spare screws are included in most FRU kits.

Removing and Replacing the Bar Code Reader

To remove the bar code reader:

1. Pushing only from the bottom of the assembly, move the shuttle thr ee or four inches from

the front panel.

2. Pushing only from the bottom of the assembly, move the picker as close as you can toward

the magazine (see Figure 5-1).
