Description

TS1140 Tape Drive (machine type 3592) is the fourth generation for the highly
successful 3592 Tape Drive. It is designed for high-performance tape applications,
including:

• High-speed data-save operations where backup windows are critical and large
amounts of data are archived to tape

• Large-scale automated tape environments where performance and reliability are
required

• Large-scale mass data archive applications where massive amounts of data need
to be quickly saved to tape for storage and later recalled (examples include the
seismic industry, data warehousing, and record management applications)

Capacity

The TS1140 is designed to provide up to 4.0 TB uncompressed capacity with the
new IBM Tape Cartridge 3592 Advanced Data (Type C) media. The exact ratio
depends on which cartridge is used with the tape drive.

The following table compares the cartridge capacity (native and with 3:1
compression) of the TS1140, TS1130, and TS1120:

Performance

TS1140 E07 uses a design that increases the native data rate up to 250 MB/sec (up
to 650 MB/sec compressed) versus the 160 MB/sec data rate of TS1130 Tape Drive
Model E06. It is designed to offer improved access characteristics in search velocity
and rewind time versus the TS1130 E06, with other enhancements designed to help
aid small file and Hierarchical Storage Manager performance.

Note: The actual throughput achieved is a function of many components, such
as system processor, disk data rate, data block size, data compressibility, I/O
attachments, SAN, and the system or application software used. Although the drive
is capable of a 250 MB/sec native data rate, other components may limit the actual
effective data rate.

Capacity scaling

TS1140 Model E07 is designed to support capacity scaling of an individual tape
cartridge to 20% of maximum capacity (800 GB for advanced tape cartridges).
Capacity scaling lets the utilized length of tape to be logically shortened, allowing
improved data access times in trade off for reduced capacity. The tapes can
subsequently be scaled back to full capacity as needed.

The TS1140 Model E07 Tape Drive allows an application to issue a command to scale
the IBM Tape Data 3592 cartridge. This allows capacity scaling to be exploited by an
application that permits media pools to be defined by VOLSER range. You can exploit
the capacity scaling capability of the TS1140 E07. For more information on using
capacity scaling, refer to IBM 3592 Model E07 Tape Drive Customer Information
Center.

Media and cartridge capacity

The TS1140 E07 provides capacity leadership with media reuse and uses Type C
tape cartridge with tape specifically optimized for the enterprise tape environment.
This provides a native cartridge capacity of 4.0 TB (or up to 12.0 TB with 3:1
compression) and can be beneficial in space savings and economy of data storage
since it can help lower the cost of storage per megabyte. For applications that fill
current data cartridges, this can help reduce the number of tape cartridges required.
The reduced number of cartridges may also help free up floor space for other
requirements and reduce the number of automation slots used.

The robust cartridge shell is designed to sustain a 1 meter drop. IBM Tape Cartridge
3592 contains cartridge memory that is a passive, contactless silicon storage device.
It is used to hold information about the specific cartridge, including the VOLSER, the
media in the cartridge, and the drive.

Attachment options

The TS1140 E07 has dual-ported 8 Gbps native switched fabric Fibre Channel
interfaces to offer attachment flexibility in an open systems environment. The drives
can be directly attached to open systems servers with Fibre Channel.

The TS1140 is supported in a wide range of environments, including selected IBM
Power, System i, System p, and System x systems, Oracle, and Hewlett Packard
servers, as well as Intel® compatible servers running Linux and Microsoft Windows
operating system environments.

Statistical Analysis and Recording System

The TS1140 E07 uses Statistical Analysis and Recording System to assist in
isolating failures between media and hardware. It is designed to use the cartridge
performance history saved in the cartridge and drive performance history kept in the
drive to determine the more likely cause of failure. It is designed to cause the drive
to mark the media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware has degraded.

High-availability data path failover

High-availability data path failover is available with the AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Oracle
Solaris, and Microsoft Windows IBM tape device drivers. The failover mechanism is
designed to enable configuration of multiple redundant paths in a SAN environment
that includes the TS1140. In the event of a path or component failure, the failover
mechanism is designed to automatically enable error recovery to retry the current
operation using an alternate, preconfigured path without aborting the current
job in progress. This supports flexibility in SAN configuration, availability, and
management.

Dynamic load balancing

Dynamic load balancing is a function in the AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Microsoft Windows,
and Oracle Solaris tape device drivers that is also available for TS1140 E07 Tape
Drives used in a SAN environment. Dynamic load balancing support is designed to
improve resources for devices that have physical connections to multiple Host Bus
Adapters (HBA) in the same machine. When an application opens a device that has
multiple HBA paths configured, the device driver determines which path has the HBA
with the lowest usage, and assigns that path to the application. The device driver is
designed to dynamically track the usage on each HBA as applications open and close
devices, and balance the number of applications using each HBA in the machine.
This can help optimize HBA resources and improve overall performance.

Additional enhancements

The TS1140 E07 incorporates the following tape enhancements that were introduced
with the 3592 Tape Drive and are designed to help improve performance, capacity,
and availability:

• High reliability of the 3592 drive and media maintained and improved with added
features:

– GMR 32-channel head technology

– Head overcoat technology into tape offers improved head protection and wear

characteristics

– Standby power management improvements that automatically reduce fan

speed when idle to lower power dissipation and reduce the risk of unnecessary
airborne debris contamination over extended idle periods

• Enhanced performance: For functions such as Recursive Accumulating
Backhitchless Flush (RABF), and the addition of a new Same Wrap Backhitchless
Flush (SWBF) function that extends virtual backhitch effectiveness for large files.

• N+1 power supplies: The TS1140 E07 supports n+1 power supplies when it is
installed in an automation frame, designed to help increase drive availability in
the event of a power supply failure.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 111-087 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation

4

• Digital speed matching: The TS1140 E07 is designed to dynamically perform
digital speed matching in 14 speeds to adjust the drive's native data rate to the
net host data rate (after data compressibility has been factored out) to help allow
slower hosts to stream the tape drive.

• Channel calibration: The channel calibration feature is designed to allow for
customization of each read/write data channel for optimum performance. The
customization can enable compensation for variations in the recording channel
transfer function, media characteristics, and read/write head characteristics. The
TS1140 E07 is designed to automatically perform recalibration in the field if it
detects degraded performance.

• High resolution tape directory plus enhanced search speed: The TS1140 E07
Tape Drive maintains a tape directory structure with a high granularity of
information about the physical position of data blocks on the media. This feature,
plus the increased search speed, allows the TS1140 E07 to have improved
nominal and average access times for locate operations versus previous IBM tape
drives.

• Streaming Lossless Data Compression (SLDC) algorithm: SLDC is an
implementation of a Lempel-Ziv class 1 (LZ-1) data compression algorithm. It is
an extension to Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) and is designed to
offer an improvement over previous IBM lossless compression algorithms.

In addition, the TS1140 E07 offers the following enhancements over other 3592
Model Tape Drives:

• Large internal data buffer: The TS1140 E07 Tape Drive has a 1 GB internal data
buffer. Along with enabling higher performance characteristics, the data buffer is
designed to use support read ahead of compressed data from tape and provide
high performance random skip forward sequential (short hop) locates common in
database search and tape software recycle operations.

• Offboard data string searching: The TS1140 E07 Tape Drive can search the data
content of host records for string matches offboard from the host server. The
tape drive can perform this search at maximum data rate (250 MB/sec native)
while it would take much longer for a host server to read the data, buffer the
data to disk, and then parse the actual data stream with host software routines.

• Enhanced logic to report logical end-of-tape (LEOT): LEOT is now reported
based on a combination of capacity-based and position-based LEOT indicators.
The TS1140 E07 monitors the total accumulated number of physical tape data
sets written to the volume and will report LEOT based on this capacity-based
LEOT value. This allows tape copies to complete without overflow a much higher
percentage of the time.

Product positioning

The TS1140 E07 Tape Drive is the next generation of the highly successful 3592
Enterprise Tape Drive. The TS1140 is supported in a wide range of environments,
including IBM Power Systems, IBM System i, IBM System p, IBM System x, and
other servers running AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Microsoft Windows
operating system environments. It has significant performance and capacity benefits
over the IBM TS1130, as well as other half-inch tape drives.

The TS1140 is designed for high-performance computing environments where high
reliability, capacity, and performance are mandated. It should be considered in the
following environments:

• Current enterprise tape drive applications in TS3500 or stand-alone
environments where:

– Space allocated to tape cartridges needs to be reduced within automation

solutions or offline storage.

– Backup windows are growing and there is a need for higher performance tape

drives to back up larger amounts of data in less time.

– A Fibre Channel-attached drive with native switched fabric capability is

required.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 111-087 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation

• Other large scale tape environments, such as:

– High-speed data-save operations where backup windows are critical and large

amounts of data are archived to tape.

– Large-scale automated tape installations where performance, capacity, and

reliability are requirements.

– Large-scale mass data archive applications where massive amounts of data

need to be quickly saved to tape for storage and later recalled (examples
include the seismic industry, data warehousing, and record management
applications).

– Environments where both streaming and start/stop (access), large and small

file workloads are required.

Other target customers for the TS1140 Tape Drive are encryption opportunities in
