Rack safety

The following general safety information must be used for all rack mounted devices.

DANGER

v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions because of uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest

devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices, starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

v Rack mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any object on top of

rack mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the

rack cabinet before you service any device in the rack cabinet.

v Connect all devices that are installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack

cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device that is installed in one rack cabinet into a power device that is installed in a different rack cabinet.

v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired might place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the

system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Safety and environmental notices xxiii

Caution

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures might exceed the

manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack mounted devices.

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked

or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit that is used for air flow through the unit.

v Consideration must be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that

overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.

v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are

not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless

specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

(R001)

Caution

Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:

v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment, starting at the top of the rack cabinet.

When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must do the following:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above. – Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet. – Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices that are installed in the rack cabinet below

the 32U level.

v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from the

suite.

v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards. v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the

documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2032 mm (30 x 80 in.). v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket that is installed on the rack cabinet during movement. v Do not use a ramp that is inclined at more than 10 degrees. v When the rack cabinet is in the new location:

xxiv IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573

– Lower the four leveling pads. – Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. – If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest

position to the highest position.

v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet

as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

(R002)

Product description 5

Bar code reader

The bar code reader is a part of the library accessor. The bar code reader provides inventory feedback to the host application, Operator Control Panel display, and Web User Interface by reading cartridge bar code labels. The library stores the customized inventory data in memory.

Library firmware supports a 6 or 8 character volume serial number (VOLSER) on the bar code label on the tape cartridge.

Encryption

The LTO Ultrium 4, 5, and 6 Tape Drives support host Application Managed Encryption (AME), Library Managed Encryption (LME), and System Managed Encryption (SME). Ultrium 7 and later drives support AME and LME. These drives support T10 Standards Encryption and IBM Proprietary Encryption, for SAS and Fibre Channel drives only. Data encryption is supported by LTO Ultrium 4 and later Data Cartridges only. Encryption is also supported by library firmware version 4.0 or higher.

The encryption enabled drive contains the necessary hardware and firmware to encrypt and decrypt host tape application data. Encryption policy and encryption keys are provided by the host application or host server. A drive digital certificate is installed at manufacturing time. Each drive receives a unique serial number and certificate. The T10 application might validate each drive instance by checking the drive's digital certificate.

The LTO Ultrium encryption environment is complex and requires knowledge beyond that of product trained Service Support Representatives (SSRs). The Encryption function on tape drives (desktop, stand-alone, and within libraries) is configured and managed by the customer. In some instances, SSRs are required to enable encryption at a hardware level when service access or service password controlled access is required. Customer setup support is by Field Technical Sales Support (FTSS), customer documentation, and software support for encryption software problems. Customer 'how to' support is also provided by support line contract.

The library firmware allows the user to select None or Application Managed Encryption from the Web User Interface, if there is at least one encryption capable drive in the logical library. If a valid Transparent Encryption license key is previously entered, System Managed Encryption or Library Managed

Encryption can be selected. The factory default is None.

Note: The optional Transparent Encryption Key feature that enables System Managed Encryption and

Library Managed Encryption is not available on TS3200 and TS3100 models that are purchased through High Volume (HVEC) channels.

Note: All encryption settings must be configured or reverified in the drive after any library or drive reset. This is because a new drive might be added or an existing drive might be swapped with another drive.

For details, see the IBM Tape Device Drivers documentation, and the IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drive SCSI Reference documentation. See "Related Publications" in the Preface.

Supported Internet Protocols

The library supports the following Internet Protocols:

v IPv4 v IPv6

6 IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573

SNMP messaging

Occasionally, the library might encounter a situation that you want to know about, such as an open magazine or a fault that causes the library to stop. The library provides a standard TCP/IP protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP sends alerts about conditions (such as need for operator intervention) over a TCP/IP LAN network to an SNMP monitoring station. These alerts are called SNMP traps. Using the information that is supplied in each SNMP trap, the monitoring station (together with customer-supplied software) alerts operations personnel of possible problems or operator interventions that occur.

All of the IBM automation products support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and all of them support SNMP read and write capability.

The new SNMP Query Configuration capability provides a common Management Information Base (MIB) across all of the IBM tape libraries. This capability allows a product administrator to audit the settings of all of their IBM tape libraries to ensure that they comply with their own policies.

SNMP traps

SNMP traps are alerts or status messages that are collected, monitored, and used to proactively manage attached libraries with SNMP protocol with the host servers. In summary, each trap provides the following information:

v Product Identification such as product name, description, manufacturer, model number, firmware

level, and the URL that the trap is designated for.

v Product Status such as the severity of the trap, status (current and previous) and the time the trap

occurred.

v Library State (physical device status) such as identification and status of devices that is monitored. It

would include enclosure, power supply, controller, magazine status, drive count, cartridge slot count, and I/O station count. Also included are certain library statistics, and where appropriate, the fault FSC (fault symptom code) including the severity and description of that fault.

v Drive Status such as the identification of each drive in the library, firmware level, serial number, and

other address and status information.

v Trap Definitions such as library status change, open magazine, I/O accessed, hard fault information,

drive cleaning requests, excessive retries, and library that is returning to normal operations. For information, refer to Appendix G. "SNMP Status MIB Variables and Traps" on page G-1.

v SNMP MIBs: The library's Management Information Base (MIB) contains units of information that

specifically describe an aspect of the system, such as the system name, hardware number, or communications configuration. Status and error data is also gathered by MIBs and sent to one or more IP addresses that are defined during the SNMP configuration operation. Download the SNMP MIB file for this library from http://www.ibm.com/storage/support.

Speed matching

To improve system performance, the Ultrium 3 and later Tape Drives use a technique called speed matching to dynamically adjust its native (uncompressed) data rate to the slower data rate of the attached

server.

Channel calibration

The channel calibration feature of the Ultrium 3 and later Tape Drives customizes each read/write data channel for optimum performance. The customization enables compensation for variations in the recording channel transfer function, media characteristics, and read/write head characteristics.

Power management

The Ultrium 3 and later Tape Drive's power management function controls the drive's electronics so that part of the electronics completely turn OFF when circuit functions are not needed for the drive's operation.

To allow for service access, install the library a minimum of 0.9 m (3 ft.) from all obstacles.

The library is a precision computer peripheral device. To ensure maximum longevity of your library, locate the library away from dust, dirt, and airborne particulates:

v Keep the library away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted. Carpeting harbors dust

and walking on the carpet can cause the carpet fibers and the dust to become airborne.

v Keep the library out of printer/copier rooms because of toner and paper dust. Additionally, do not

store paper supplies next to the library.

v Keep the library away from moving air caused by doorways, open windows, fans, and air

conditioners.

Ensure that the machine covers are always kept closed to minimize any contamination from airborne particles.

IBM supports higher versions of the browsers if the vendors do not remove or disable functions that the product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the versions that are certified with the product, customer support accepts usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system and virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot re-create the issue in the lab, the client might be asked to re-create the problem on a certified browser version to determine whether a product defect exists. Defects are not accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or browser versions that do not affect the functional behavior of the product. If a problem is identified in the product, defects are accepted. If a problem is identified with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or workarounds that the client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available.

18 IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573

User interfaces

This library has two user interfaces.

v Operator Control Panel - on the front panel of the library v “Web User Interface” on page 22 - accessed by way of a web browser

Operator Control Panel

The Operator Control Panel operates in two basic modes. v User Interaction mode - This mode is employed when a user is pushing buttons on the Operator

Control Panel.

v System Driven mode - The normal mode of operation. In this mode, the Operator Control Panel

displays status that is associated with the actions that were caused from commands that are issued by way of the drive's internal (drive to library) serial interface.

When an Operator Control Panel button is pressed and released, the Operator Control Panel automatically changes to User Interaction mode. User Interaction mode continues until 3 minutes after a user stops pushing buttons, or the requested accessor action stops - whichever is longer. At which time, the Operator Control Panel returns to System Driven mode.

If necessary, the Operator Control Panel automatically changes to the System Driven mode. When this operation occurs, the library must remember the previous function before the display mode changed. Therefore, the next button that is pressed changes the Operator Control Panel to the User Interaction mode from the System Driven mode.

In case of the activated user security feature, the User Interaction mode is restricted to Login and Monitor menu items, until a user logs in with a correct password.

Operator Control Panel philosophy

Operator Control Panel operation must obey some basic rules. These rules of operation constitute a philosophy.

v Any operational conflict between commands that are received over the host interface or the Web User

Interface and commands that are entered by way of the Operator Control Panel are avoided with a reservation mechanism on a first-come, first-served basis. Any reservation by the Operator Control Panel is canceled by an Operator Control Panel logout or a timeout, which cancels the User Interaction Mode.

v Library firmware does not allow a user to select an impossible request. Those situations include, but

are not limited to: – Moving a cartridge from any source to a full slot – Moving a cartridge from an empty slot – Loading a cartridge from any source to a full drive – Unloading a cartridge from an empty drive

v Any error that is detected by the library or drive controller and not recoverable through predetermined

firmware algorithms is considered unrecoverable (fatal). An error code is displayed on the Operator Control Panel display and the error LED illuminates. The error code remains on the Operator Control Panel until a push button is pressed, which causes the Operator Control Panel to return to the Home Screen.

v Numeric error codes are only used for unrecoverable errors, otherwise text status messages are

displayed.

Power-ON display

When the library powers ON or resets, it goes through several internally controlled processes that allow it to get initialized and running. These processes are called Power-On-Self-Test (POST). During the POST the Operator Control Panel displays information that might be meaningless until POST is complete. When the POST is finished, the library displays the Startup screen, then the Home screen.

The Startup screen is the first screen that displays after the library is powered ON. It contains the following information:

v Firmware Rev: the current level of library firmware v Drives: the total number of drives that the library can support v Magazines: the total number of magazines in the library v I/O station: the status of the I/O station

The Home screen example shows that the Accessor and Drives 1 through 3 are OK as shown by the check marks in the Home screen. Drive 4 either has a problem, or is missing. The exclamation mark (!), which shows that there is something wrong with drive 4 does not go away until the drive is either fixed, or is replaced. Then, the explanation mark becomes a check mark.

Figure 8. Power-ON screens

Note about the front panel LEDs

All LEDs are updated during power ON and reset sequences. Upon power ON or software reset, the library illuminates all LEDs as soon as POST allows. When initialization starts, all LEDs are extinguished and the Ready/Activity LED flashes at a rate of approximately one second per cycle. When the mechanical initialization is complete, the Ready/Activity LED stops flashing and be constantly illuminated.

If a library failure occurs, the Ready/Activity LED turns OFF and the Error LED illuminates. The Operator Control Panel also displays an error code to help identify the failure.

More operational details of LEDs: v The Ready/Activity LED is illuminated any time that the unit is powered ON and functional. The

Ready/Activity LED flashes whenever there is library or drive activity. This LED also flashes when the unit is offline.

v The Clean LED is illuminated when either a cleaning that is requested or a cleaning required flag is

issued by the drive. The LED is turned off after a successful drive cleaning operation.

v The Attention LED indicates one of the following conditions.

Redundant power supply failed Complete the following steps:

1. Go to Monitor > Inventory to locate the defective

cartridge.

2. Move the defective cartridge to the I/O Station.

(Operator Control Panel: Control > Move Cartridges).

3. Open the I/O Station to remove the defective

cartridge. (Operator Control Panel: Control > Open I/O).

- Install a drive sled (see “Removing/installing/adding a tape drive sled” on page 223).

- Modify or resubmit Logical Library setting (Operator Control Panel: Configure > Logical Libraries or Web User Interface: Configure Library > Logical Libraries).

- Restore defaults (Operator Control Panel: Configure >

Restore Defaults or Web User Interface: Configure Library > Restore Defaults).

1. Replace the failed power supply (see “Replacing a power supply” on page 231).

2. Cycle library power.

Power supply fan failure Replace the power supply.

v The Error LED is illuminated when there is an unrecoverable (that is, hard) drive or library failure.

This error happens at the same time the hard error message is displayed on the screen and the LED remains lit until the error state is resolved.

Note: From the Operator Control Panel, run Service > Library Verify. If Library Verify runs without error, the Error LED turns off. If the error persists, recycle power.

Input modes

There are several ways to enter values in the different menu items. These values are selectable predefined values, toggle values (for example, ON/OFF), and numerical values like network addresses.

Selecting predefined values

Procedure

1. To set the predefined values, press the SELECT button to select the menu item.

2. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, select one of the various predefined values for that item.

3. As soon as the Operator Control Panel display shows the correct value, press the SELECT button to

apply the value.

Toggling values

About this task

Toggle values are used to switch between two different states like ON and OFF.

Procedure

1. After navigating to the menu item, press the SELECT button to select the menu item.

2. With the UP and DOWN buttons, select one of the various predefined states for that item.

User interfaces 21

3. Press the SELECT button to apply the new state.

Entering numerical values

About this task

Numerical values are needed for network addresses, password entries, and other configuration entries.

Procedure

1. After navigating to the menu item, the current value is displayed and the cursor highlights the first

digit of the value that can be changed.

2. For each digit to be changed in the value: a. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to increment / decrement the digit. b. Press the SELECT button to highlight the next editable digit.

3. Press the SELECT button at the last digit to apply the complete entry, or press the CANCEL button to

cancel the edit process and maintain the original value.

Power ON/OFF

Part of the Operator Control Panel is the Power ON/OFF button. If the library is powered ON, pressing this button for 4 seconds initiates a controlled power down of the library. The following operations take place before the library shuts down completely:

v The display indicates with an appropriate message that the shutdown is in progress. v The library controller finishes all ongoing library and drive activities. v The accessor is moved to its home position. v The library controller switches OFF the power supply's secondary side.

Note: The shutdown process is stopped by releasing the button before 4 seconds passes.

Web User Interface

Many of the same operations that are completed from the Operator Control Panel are also completed remotely with the Web User Interface.

Choose the Web User Interface to monitor and control your library from any terminal that is connected to your network or through the World Wide Web (WWW). The Web User Interface hosts a dedicated, protected Internet site that displays a graphical representation of your library.

For static IP addresses only: After a connection to the library is established, open any HTML browser and enter the IP address of the library. To configure the Web User Interface, you must first set the IP address with the Operator Control Panel. Refer to “Configure: Network” on page 103 or “Configure Library: Network” on page 129.

Login

Important: Some options of the Web User Interface take the library offline. This inactive mode interferes with host-based application software, causing data loss. Make sure that the library is idle before you attempt to complete any remote operations that take the library offline.

To log in, select the Role type and enter the correct password. There are four levels of access:

v User - Normal user level. The User has access only to Monitor Library menus. v Superuser - The Superuser has access to the Monitor Library and Manage Library sections. v Admin - Admin user level The Admin user has access to all menus except those menus that are

restricted to Service only.

Installation planning

Before installing your library, take time to review the following information.

Determining the number of logical libraries (partitions)

You can partition the library into as many logical libraries as there are drives in the library.

Basic guidelines

v Each logical library must contain at least one drive. v A library configuration of exactly one logical library equals the entire physical library. v The library issues a warning to the user if media is moved across logical libraries.

Library sharing

The library's default configuration allows a single application to operate the library through a single control path. Often, it is advantageous to share a single library between heterogeneous (dissimilar) or homogeneous (similar) applications. Some applications (and some servers) do not allow for sharing a library between systems. Configurations are created that enable the library to process commands from multiple heterogeneous applications (such as an IBM System p application and a Windows NT application) and multiple homogeneous applications (, the same application that is run by several System p servers).

From the library's Web User Interface or Operator Control Panel, the following actions are completed: v Configure the library so that it is partitioned into separate logical libraries that independently

communicate with separate applications through separate control paths. This configuration requires no special capabilities from the server or application. See “Multiple logical libraries for library sharing.”

v Configure any single logical library (including the entire physical library) so that it is shared by two or

more servers that are running the same application. Depending on the capabilities of the server and application, several ways to set up this type of configuration are available. Three typical ways include:

– Configuring one server (host) to communicate with the library through a single control path; all

other servers send requests to that server through a network. This configuration is used by Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM).

– Configuring all of the servers to communicate with the library through a single, common control

path. This configuration is used in high-availability environments such as IBM's High Availability Clustered Microprocessing (HACMP) and Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) and Clustered Server Environments. Multi-initiator configurations are supported only by certain adapters and independent software vendors (ISVs). Check with your ISV.

– Configuring a single logical library to communicate with multiple servers through multiple control

paths. This configuration requires that control paths be added (see “Multiple control paths” on page

28). It is used by Backup Recovery and Media Services (BRMS).

Library configuration is not limited to these examples. Many configurations are possible, and can be designed according to your business needs. Refer to your host application documentation.

Multiple logical libraries for library sharing

Multiple logical libraries are an effective way for the library to simultaneously back up and restore data from heterogeneous applications. For example, the library is partitioned so that it processes:

v Commands from Application A (about Department X) in Logical Library 1 v Commands from Application B (about Department Y) in Logical Library 2

In this configuration, the storage slots and drives in each logical library are dedicated to that library and are not shared among other libraries. Commands that are issued by the applications travel to the library through two unique control paths. Thus, the data processing for:

v Department X is confined to the storage slots and drives in Logical Library 1 v Department Y is confined to the storage slots and drives in Logical Library 2

Multiple control paths

In addition to creating multiple logical libraries, any logical library can be configured to have more than one control path. When more control paths are configured, more library sharing configurations and availability options are made possible. Access to the logical library is on a first-come, first-served basis. Each control path for a logical library can accept commands while the library is in use by another control path. By default, only the first drive in a logical library is LUN-1 enabled.

Note: Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows 2003 Removable Storage Manager (RSM) does not support multiple control paths within a logical library. It is recommended that RSM is disabled to use this feature.

For a particular logical library, you can enable as many control paths as there are drives in that logical library.

Multiple control paths for System i, iSeries, and AS/400 attachment

The use of control paths for the System i®, iSeries, and AS/400 servers is unique. In general, every iSeries adapter must recognize the control path that is associated with the drives to which it is connected. For the iSeries and AS/400 servers, one to six drives are supported by LVD and Fibre Channel adapters and the OS/400®5.1, OS/400 5.2, or i5/OS 5.3 operating system.

Multiple control paths for path failover

Command failures and timeouts are costly. You want your library to run smoothly and efficiently. To ensure continued processing, the library offers an optional path failover feature that enables the host device driver to resend the command to an alternate control path for the same logical library. With control path failover installed, the alternate control path includes another HBA, SAN, or library control path drive. The device driver initiates error recovery and continues the operation on the alternate control path without interrupting the application. AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows 2003 hosts are currently supported for this feature.

For library firmware of 8.xx or lower the 2U library does not support control path failover and data path failover. As a result, there is no license key entry for "path failover" on the 2U library.Library firmware levels higher than 8.xx support path failover on both the 2U library and the 4U library. Path failover is a combination of two previous features: control path failover (key that is entered at the library user interface) and data path failover (key that is entered at the device driver interface). Go to “Minimum firmware levels for common library features” on page v to find the minimum firmware levels for path failover on your library.

The path failover feature can be installed by the customer. For ordering information, see “Optional features, replacement parts, and power cords” on page 249.

For information about using the path failover feature, see the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide.

28 IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573

Library partitioning and element addressing

Library 4U systems with firmware versions of 1.70 and higher, and containing at least 2 drives, have the ability to configure two logical libraries (create two partitions). This partitioning is expanded with the new library firmware and half height drive integration. It is possible to configure 1, 2, 3, or 4 partitions in the 4U library. Additionally, the 2U library is configured into one or two partitions. Each library must contain at least one drive per logical library (partition).

Partitioning of 2U libraries

When two half height drives are installed in a 2U library, the library firmware supports partitioning in the same way that the 4U supports partitioning with two full height drives today. The first partition contains the first magazine and the first drive. The second partition contains the second magazine and the second drive. The I/O station (if configured as I/O) is shared, as is done with the partitioned 4U library.

One full height drive is "Drive 1". With half height drives, the first half height drive position is called "Drive 1", The second half height drive position is called "Drive 2."

Partitioning of 4U libraries

When one or more half height drives are added to a 4U library, the drive naming changes. Currently, the first full height drive is "Drive 1" and the second full height drive is "Drive 2". When you consider that each full height drive slot might contain one or two half height drives, there are four potential drives in the space that used to occupy two. As a result, the first half height drive position, or the first full height drive position, is called "Drive 1". The second half height drive position is called "Drive 2". The third half height drive position, or the second full height drive position, is called "Drive 3". The fourth half height drive position is called "Drive 4".

Important: In a 4U library, a full height drive sled might be installed in drive slot 1 (drive occupies slot 1 and slot 2) or drive slot 3 (drive occupies slot 3 and slot 4). A full height drive sled must never be installed in drive slot 2 (drive occupies slot 2 and slot 3).

Mixing of drives

The library supports a mix of full height and half height drives in the same physical library and the same logical library. They support a mix of drives in the same physical library and the same logical library. They also support a mix of SCSI, SAS, and Fibre Channel in the same physical library and the same logical library; however, mixing drive interface types in the same logical library is not recommended.

Important: Drives that do not share a common media type cannot be mixed in the same logical library. For instance, Gen 3 and Gen 6 drives cannot use the same media and so they cannot be mixed. LTO 3 media cannot be read on LTO 6 drives. LTO 4 media cannot be read on LTO 7 drives.

Configuration of a 1 - partition system

A one partition system configured for a 4U library contains any and all drives present in any drive positions, and it contains all four magazines.

When configured with one logical partition, the Element Address assignments is as follows: DTE assignments are shown in Figure 14 on page 30.

STE assignments: v Logical Library 1: Slot1 through 23 4096 (0x1000) through 4118 (0x1016) as shown in Figure 17 on page

A four partition system must have four drives. Each partition contains one drive and one magazine.

When configured with four logical partitions, the Element Address assignments are as follows: DTE assignments are shown in Figure 17.

STE assignments

Figure 17. Configuration of a four - partition system

SCSI element addressing

Every logical library starts at the first drive slot with the current assigned element start address (default value 256). It is incremented from the bottom to the top slots for every drive slot. There is one exception to this addressing scheme to accommodate libraries currently in the field. A 4U library containing only full height drives continues to have the addresses assignments 256 and 257, thus causing no interruptions to their operation. Drive slots are still incremented by 1 for each drive slot position.

Note: Exchanging drives with different form factors results in the need for library reconfiguration.

Figure 18. Examples of SCSI element addressing

The SCSI specification does not allow gaps in the SCSI element addressing. Special handling is needed for empty drive slots to fulfill the specification. Also temporarily removed drives need to have their addresses that are preserved to not confuse the attached host and host application. Generally only drives that are currently physically available or temporarily removed are reported. Empty (unused) slots that are located at the bottom or the top must not be reported, with an exception in a 'removed' condition. A drive slot that does not contain a drive, and has a position between used slots, must be reported as a SCSI element. To signal the host application that this slot is not usable, its ACCESS bit is disabled.

Note: When the number of drives in your library are reduced, update the Logical Library configuration. This action removes the Attention LED on the front panel and the exclamation mark on the Home screen that indicates that a drive is missing.

Updating the Logical Library configuration also updates the drive element addressing and drive numbering. Replacing LTO half height drives with full height drives might require you to execute Restore Factory Defaults to correctly update the drive element addressing and drive numbering. See “Configure Library: Save/Restore” on page 150.

Persistent binding to ensure SCSI ID assignment

When a server is booted, devices are discovered and assigned SCSI target and LUN IDs. It is possible for these SCSI assignments to change between boots. Some operating systems do not guarantee that devices are always allocated the same SCSI target ID after rebooting. Also, some software depends on this association, so you do not want it to change. The issue of SCSI ID assignment is addressed by persistent binding.

Persistent binding is an HBA function that allows a subset of discovered targets to be bound between a server and device. Implemented by a worldwide node name (WWNN) or worldwide port name (WWPN), persistent binding causes a tape drive's WWNN to be bound to a specific SCSI target ID. After a configuration is set, it survives reboots and any hardware configuration changes because the information is preserved. If a drive must be replaced, the new drive assumes the WWNN of the old drive because the WWNN for the drive is location-dependent within the library. Because the WWNN does not change, persistent binding does not need changing, thus preventing a potential outage.

Logical unit number (LUN) scanning

The library uses a single SCSI or Loop ID per drive and dual LUNs to control the tape drive (LUN 0) and library accessor (LUN 1). The library requires a host bus adapter (HBA) that supports LUN scanning. If it is not enabled, your host system does not scan beyond LUN 0 and fails to discover the library. It sees only the tape drive.

Important: Some HBAs, such as RAID controllers, do not support LUN scanning.

Host interfaces

The 2U library and the 4U library are attached to servers with the following interfaces:

v SCSI (LVD Ultrium 160) v Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) v Fibre Channel

Table 19. Host drive interface support

SCSI interface

Note: Although the LVD hardware in the library can operate in single-ended (SE) mode, SE operation is not recommended.

The library supports SCSI LVD attachments with SCSI cables with 68-pin, HD-connectors. SCSI adapters must be properly terminated.

Before the SCSI cables are installed, inspect all cables for damage. Do not install a cable if it is damaged. Report the damage immediately by contacting your place of purchase.

The maximum allowable length of your bus cabling depends on the type of SCSI bus that you use (LVD). v For a server with an LVD SCSI bus:

– Use a maximum system-to-device cable length of 10 m (33 ft) to attach to the host interface board

(SCSI) and one or two daisy-chained drives.

Installation planning 33

– Use a maximum system-to-device cable length of 5 m (17 ft) to attach to the host interface board

(SCSI) and three to six daisy-chained drives.

Note: For maximum performance, it is recommended to have a maximum of one drive per SCSI bus.

– Only use the maximum system-to-device cable length of 25 m (82 ft) to attach directly to one device

(a point to point interconnection).

Note: Daisy-chaining is NOT recommended because of potential issues with SCSI bus performance, SCSI cables/connectors, and host bus adapters.

Physical characteristics of the SCSI interface

The library operates as a set of SCSI-3 devices. The Ultrium tape drives attach to servers with an LVD Ultra160 SCSI interface. Each SCSI drive sled uses shielded, HD68-pin connectors, and attaches directly to a 2-byte-wide SCSI cable.

Any combination of up to two initiators (servers) and up to four targets (devices) is allowed on a single SCSI bus if the following conditions are met:

v The SCSI bus is terminated properly at each end v Cable restrictions are followed according to the SCSI-3 specification

Under the SCSI-3 protocol, this type of attachment allows cable lengths of up to 25 m (81 ft) with the appropriate cable and terminator. The table gives the maximum bus length between terminators for the LVD interface. For information about cable connectors, see “SCSI connectors and adapters” on page 35.

Table 20. Maximum bus length between terminators

Type of Interconnection Maximum Bus Length Between Terminators (in meters)

Point-to-point (1 server and 1 drive) 25 Multi-drop/daisy-chain (1 server and multiple

drives) Note: The maximum bus lengths that are stated in this table include the internal length of the bus.

12 (LVD)

For maximum performance, multiple SCSI buses might be required (see “Multiple SCSI buses”), and IBM Ultrium Tape Drives must be the only target devices that are active on the bus.

Note: Daisy-chaining is NOT recommended because of potential issues with SCSI bus performance, SCSI cables/connectors, and host bus adapters.

Note: For maximum performance, the quantity of tape drives that you can attach to one SCSI bus is limited, and is based on the type of bus that you have and the amount of data compression achieved. Ultra160 SCSI buses have a bandwidth of 160 MB per second. The table lists the types of SCSI buses and gives the recommended maximum quantity of drives that you can attach.

Table 21. Recommended maximum quantity of drives per SCSI bus

Type of Drive Ultra 160 SCSI Bus

LVD Ultrium 3 1 drive at 2:1 compression

Multiple SCSI buses

The library has two SCSI connectors for each tape drive in the library. Each drive can be daisy-chained with a SCSI bus jumper.

Note: Daisy-chaining is NOT recommended because of potential issues with SCSI bus performance, SCSI cables/connectors, and host bus adapters.

34 IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573

Removal of any jumpers creates a SCSI bus for each drive that is installed in your library for attachment to multiple servers or to multiple SCSI adapter cards on one server. Each SCSI bus must be terminated. Multiple SCSI buses might be required for maximum performance, depending on the application and data compression ratio. Note, however, that library (Medium Changer) control is required on at least one SCSI bus.

The Medium Changer device is required to be addressed via LUN 1 of the lowest-numbered drive position of each logical library. The Medium Changer device might be addressed via LUN 1 of other drives in any logical library.

Any bus that contains a Medium Changer device by way of LUN 1 of a drive is referred to as a control and data path. Any other bus is referred to as a data path. For information about control paths, see “Multiple control paths” on page 28.

Terminating the bus

The SCSI bus and all of the wires in the SCSI cable must be properly terminated according to the SCSI standard.

You can plug an external terminator into one of the SCSI connectors. A terminator must be installed on the last device on each end of a string of multiple devices. A terminator is included with each SCSI Ultrium Tape Drive.

SCSI connectors and adapters

The library is supported by a wide variety of servers (hosts), operating systems, and adapters. These attachments can change throughout the product's lifecycle. To determine the latest supported attachments, visit the web at http://www.ibm.com/storage/. Or, contact your IBM sales representative.

SCSI differential - LVD

IBM LVD tape devices support a bus length of 25 meters (82 ft.) point-to-point, and 12 meters (39 ft.) with multi-drop interconnection (daisy-chaining). For each daisy-chained device, the maximum cable length must be reduced by 0.5 meters (1.6 ft).

Important: A faster bus does not imply that an attached device supports that data rate, but that multiple devices can operate on the bus at that maximum speed. For a detailed table of SCSI terms and related specifications, refer to the SCSI Trade Association website at http://www.scsita.org/terms/scsiterms.html. To ensure best performance, avoid daisy-chaining, if possible.

SAS interface

A drive sled with a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface is linked directly to controllers. SAS is a performance improvement over traditional SCSI because SAS enables multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be connected simultaneously with thinner and longer cables. Its full-duplex signal transmission supports up to 6.0 Gb/s. The SFF-8088 SAS connectors on the Ultrium 5 and later tape drives are compatible with SAS-1 or SAS-2 cables. The SFF-8088 SAS connectors on the Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 tape drives are compatible with SAS-1 cables. In addition, SAS drives can be hot-plugged.

SAS drives auto-negotiate speed. No configurable topologies, thus no feature switches are associated with SAS. The SAS Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 half height drive sleds are single ported and are attached only to one host. The Ultrium 4 and Ultrium 5 full height, and Ultrium 6, Ultrium 7, and Ultrium 8 half height drives are dual ported, and are attached to a maximum of two hosts. The intention of the second port is for redundancy for failover rather than sharing. Sharing between these two hosts is limited to active/passive cluster failover. LAN-free drive sharing is not supported. Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 SAS drive sleds use the SFF-8088 connection at the drive sled end and SFF-8088 or SFF-8470 at the host adapter end.

Installation planning 35

Fibre Channel interface

Fibre Channel allows for an active intelligent interconnection scheme, called a Fabric, to connect devices. Everything between the ports on Fibre Channel is called the Fabric. The Fabric is most often a switch or series of switches that takes the responsibility for routing.

The library allows the selection of the following Fibre channel port behaviors: v LN Port: (default setting) - an automatic configuration that tries arbitrated loop first, then switched

fabric

v L Port - arbitrated loop v N Port - point to point protocol in a switched fabric topology

Cables and speeds

Ultrium Fibre Channel tape drives use LC duplex fiber optics cables.

The maximum distances that the library supports on a Fibre Channel link is determined by the link speed, the type of fiber (50-micron or 62.5-micron), and the device to which the library is attached.

If the library attaches to an HBA (Host Bus adapter), refer to the distances that are supported by the HBA. If the library attaches to a switch, the supported distances are:

v For a multi-mode 50-micron cable:

– 1-Gbit link speed = up to 500 m (1640 ft) – 2-Gbit link speed = up to 300 m (984 ft) – 4-Gbit link speed = up to 175 m (574 ft) – 8-Gbit link speed = up to 150 m (492 ft)

v For a multi-mode 62.5-micron cable:

– 1-Gbit link speed = up to 300 m (984 ft) – 2-Gbit link speed = up to 90 m (295 ft) – 4-Gbit link speed = up to 50 m (164 ft) – 8-Gbit link speed = up to 21 m (68 ft)

Note: Minimum distance for both 50 micron and 62.5 micron is 2 m (6 ft).

Zoning to isolate devices and enhance security

For security reasons, it is important to limit the devices that a server or servers can recognize or access. Also, some performance configurations and SAN configurations result in a device seen multiple times from the same server. For example, if you have two HBAs from the same server that is connected to an Ultrium Tape Drive in the library, the drive is detected and displays as two logical devices. There are two special files for one physical device. Zoning addresses these issues.

You can partition your SAN into logical groupings of devices so that each group is isolated from the other and can access only the devices in its own group with zoning. Two types of zoning exist: hardware zoning and software zoning. Hardware zoning is based on physical fabric port number. Software zoning is defined with a worldwide node name (WWNN) or worldwide port name (WWPN). While zoning can be reconfigured without causing an outage, some zoning configurations can become complicated. The advantage of the library's WWNN implementation is that you can avoid the exposure of introducing zoning errors because you do not have to change the zoning configuration if a drive needs service or replacement.

Attention: It is recommended that tape storage devices are connected on a separate HBA from disk storage devices to avoid potential configuration incompatibilities.

Fibre Channel host environment

The library is supported by various servers (hosts), operating systems, and adapters. These attachments can change throughout the product's lifecycle. To determine the latest supported attachments, visit the web at http://www.ibm.com/storage/.

Sharing on a storage area network (SAN)

With storage area network (SAN) components, the possibilities for connecting multiple systems and multiple drives increased. Not all software and systems are designed to share drives. Before you install a drive that would allow two systems to share it, check that the systems and their software support sharing. If your software does not support sharing, note that Fibre Channel switches have a zoning capability to form a SAN partition. For systems that do not cooperate, use zoning to prevent the systems from sharing the drive. You can remove zoned partitions as you upgrade software and system levels.

Installation and configuration

Note: Review the information in “Installation planning” on page 27 before your library is installed.

The IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library is a customer installed unit. The customer is responsible for the setup and maintenance of the tape library. Customers are charged for service if a service contract is not in place.

To install a desktop or rack mounted 2U library or 4U library, complete the procedures in the order that they are presented.

For a Driveless Library (Feature Code 9001), follow the procedures in the Installation Instructions that are provided with the library. The installation instructions are one of the following documents:

v Installation Instructions for Installing Feature Code 9001- Driveless Library Unit, Part Number 46X0557 v Installation Instructions for Installing the Driveless Library, Part Number 46X0558

The Library Configuration Form

Before beginning the installation and configuration of your library, make a copy of the Appendix G, “Library Configuration Form,” on page 321. Enter library information (such as serial numbers, types of drives, etc.) and configuration settings on the Library Configuration Form and store in a safe location for future reference. Be sure to update this form any time changes are made to your library hardware or configuration.

Installing your library

Complete these procedures to install your library hardware.

1. “Acclimation”

2. “Choosing a location” on page 40.

3. “Unpacking the library” on page 41.

4. “Verifying the shipment” on page 41.

5. “Installing the library foot pads (desktop installation)” on page 42.

6. “Removing and storing the shipping lock” on page 43.

7. “Rackmounting the library (rack installation)” on page 45.

8. “Connecting the host interface cable” on page 53.

9. “Connecting a power cord” on page 56.

Acclimation

Server and storage equipment (racks and frames) must be gradually acclimated to the surrounding

environment to prevent condensation.

When server and storage equipment (racks and frames) is shipped in a climate where the outside

temperature is below the dew point of the destination (indoor location), there is a possibility that water

condensation can form on the cooler inside and outside surfaces of the equipment when the equipment is

brought indoors.

Sufficient time must be allowed for the shipped equipment to gradually reach thermal equilibrium with

the indoor environment before you remove the shipping bag and energize the equipment. Follow these

guidelines to properly acclimate your equipment:

v Leave the system in the shipping bag. If the installation or staging environment allows it, leave the

product in the full package to minimize condensation on or within the equipment.

v Allow the packaged product to acclimate for 24 hours.1If there are visible signs of condensation (either

external or internal to the product) after 24 hours, acclimate the system without the shipping bag for

an additional 12 - 24 hours or until no visible condensation remains.

v Acclimate the product away from perforated tiles or other direct sources of forced air convection to

minimize excessive condensation on or within the equipment.

Unless otherwise stated by product-specific installation instructions.

Note: Condensation is a normal occurrence, especially when you ship equipment in cold-weather

climates. All IBM®products are tested and verified to withstand condensation that is produced under

these circumstances. When sufficient time is provided to allow the hardware to gradually acclimate to the

indoor environment, there should be no issues with long-term reliability of the product.

Choosing a location

Choose a location that meets the following criteria:

Table 22. Location criteria

Criteria Definition

Room temperature 10° - 35° C (50° - 95° F )

Note: If the temperature in the room where the library will be installed varies by 15° C (30° F) from the room where the library was stored, allow the library to acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before unpacking it from the shipping container.

Power source

v AC power voltage: 100-127 VAC; 200-240 VAC (4 - 2 A)

Note: The 4U library requires two separate power sources to implement redundant power.

v Line frequency: 50-60 Hz

Place the library near an AC outlet. The AC power cord is the product's main AC disconnect device and must be easily accessible at all times. Two separate power sources must be available for redundant power.

Rackmounting the library (rack installation)

a77ug275

About this task

The 2U library and the 4U library are easily installed into a standard 19-inch rack system. The 2U library requires 2U (3.5 in.) of space. The 4U library requires 4U (7 in.) of space.

If you are not rackmounting your library, skip this procedure and go to “Attaching the library to a server” on page 53.

Important: A 2U library weighs 15.59 kg (34.37 lbs.) with one drive and without media. A 4U library weighs 21.32 kg (47 lbs.) with one drive and without media.

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the library:

1. Observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling,

2. Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the library during installation or removal, and

3. Always remove all cartridges to reduce the overall weight of the library.

To install your library in a rack, complete the following steps.

Attaching the library to a server

The 2U library and the 4U library are attached to servers with these interfaces:

v SCSI (LVD Ultra 160) v Fibre Channel v Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

Connecting the host interface cable

About this task

To connect the host interface cables to the library:

Procedure

1. It is recommended that you shut down and turn OFF the associated server. Turn OFF all attached

devices. Remove the power cables from the server and all attached accessories.

Important: Failure to remove the power cords from these devices before the host interface cable is connected might result in damage to the library.

2. For a SCSI library, attach one end of the host interface cable to one of the connectors on the back

panel of the library (see ▌1▐ in Figure 35 on page 54). For a Fibre Channel library, attach one end of the host interface cable to the connector on the back panel of the library (see ▌4▐ in Figure 36 on page

54). For a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected library, attach the host end of the SAS cable to the SAS HBA (see ▌2▐ in Figure 37 on page 54). Full height drives have dual SAS connectors. Half height

Installation and configuration 53

drives have one SAS connector. Unused SAS connectors do not need to be terminated.

3. Attach the other end of the host interface cable.

v For a SCSI library, connect the host interface cable to the connector on the SCSI host bus adapter or

to the connector on the previous device on the SCSI bus. Attach the terminator (

in Figure 35) to

the remaining SCSI connector on the back panel of the library, if the library is the last or only

other end to the next device on the SCSI bus. Make sure that the last device on the SCSI bus is properly terminated.

Note: Only cables and terminators that are specified for Ultra160 or Ultra320 use or labeled as Multi-Mode are used.

Note: The host bus adapter must be LVD SCSI. A single-ended (SE) SCSI host bus adapter works, but severely degrades performance, and limit cable length. If there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus negotiates down to SE speed and severely degrade performance.

v For a Fibre Channel library, connect the host interface cable to the host or to a switch. If an

SC-to-LC interposer is required, refer to “Installing a Fibre Channel interposer (feature code 5096).”

v For a SAS library, connect the Host Interface Cable to the host HBA, with a direct SFF-8088

connection, or an interposer as required. Unused SAS connectors do not need termination.

4. Plug the network ethernet cable (▌2▐ in Figure 35 on page 54, ▌5▐ in Figure 36 on page 54, or ▌3▐ in

Figure 37 on page 54) into the ethernet port on the back panel of the library. If the ethernet connection is directly attached to a server or notebook, a crossover ethernet cable might be required.

Note: It is the customer's responsibility to supply the crossover cable if one is required.

Choosing general library settings

About this task

If your library contains one drive or logical library, both general and specific settings are combined into one table (see Figure 41 on page 62).

Procedure

1. Expand Configure Library in the left navigation pane of the Web User Interface.

2. Click General and enter

v Library Name - Enter a name for your library. v Library Mode (select one of the following per logical library):

– Random: In random mode, the library allows the server's (host's) application software to select

any data cartridge in any order.

– Sequential: In sequential mode, the library's firmware predefines the selection of the cartridges.

After initialization, the firmware causes the library to select the first available cartridge found (counting from the I/O station through the last slot in your library) for loading into the drive.

Important: A Logical Library in Sequential Mode supports only one tape drive. If it contains more than one drive, only the first drive in the Logical Library is used and the other drives are not supported.

- Autoload: Sequential mode with autoload mode ON loads the first available cartridge (slot with the lowest numerical value that contains a cartridge) automatically if the library powers ON with an empty drive.

- Loop: Sequential mode with loop mode ON loads the cartridge in the lowest numerical slot after the cartridge in the highest numerical slot is filled and sent back to its home slot. This mode allows endless backup operations without user interaction.

v Active Slots - Select the number of active slots you want to assign in your library. This item affects

the number of Res. (Reserved) Slots in your library. For information, refer to “Configuring I/O stations and reserving slots” on page 160.

Note: Slots can be reserved so that they are invisible to the host. It might be necessary to reserve slots to match the number of available slots to the ISV software licensing. Slots are reserved starting with the highest element address. If your library does not have a dedicated cleaning cartridge slot, and you want to enable Auto Clean, you must designate a reserved slot, which can be used to hold the cleaning cartridge.

v I/O Station Enabled - If checked, the I/O station is enabled. If not, the first three slots (in a 4U

library or the first slot in a 2U library) are configured as storage. See “Configure Library: General” on page 123.

v Auto Clean Enabled - Automatically cleans drive when drive requests cleaning and cleaning

cartridge is present in a reserved slot or a dedicated cleaning slot. All cleaning cartridges must have

CLN as part of the bar code. The Universal Cleaning Cartridge has the bar code label CLNUxxLx.

Note: IBM recommends enabling the Auto Clean function on the library. With the Auto Clean

function enabled, drive cleaning occurs automatically. The only time Auto Cleaning must be disabled is when your Backup Application requires that it has control.

v Bar Code Label Length Reported to Host - Choose 6 - 8. With 6, the first 6 characters of the

cartridge VOLSER (Volume Serial Numbers) are reported to the host. With 8, all characters in the VOLSER (first 6 characters plus the two character media type identifier) are reported to the host. For more information about bar code labels, see “Bar code label” on page 168.

v Internal Label - Selective Encryption: This policy is based on the internal volume label

information. Currently, the only application that supports this option is Symantec NetBackup. It encrypts only cartridges with pool identifiers 1500 - 9999 (inclusive), with keys specific to each pool. Labels for these keys are generated by the tape drive that is based on the pool identifier; for instance, key label IL_NBU_1505 is generated for a cartridge in pool 1505.

v Internal Label - Encrypt All: This policy is based on the internal volume label information.

Currently, the only application that supports this option is Symantec NetBackup. It encrypts all cartridges. Cartridges with pool identifiers 2000 - 65535 (inclusive) are encrypted with keys specific to each pool. Labels for these keys are generated by the tape drive that is based on the pool identifier; for instance, key label IL_NBU_2505 is generated for a cartridge in pool 2505.

7. A primary and secondary key management server is set for each logical library. Each partition has its

own Encryption and key management settings. Maintaining primary and secondary key management servers is wanted for maximum availability of encrypted backup and recovery. These settings are required for Library Managed Encryption only. Enter the EKM Server Setting information.
