Safety and Environmental Notices xix

Rack Safety

The following general safety information should 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 due to 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 work space. Do not place any object on top of rack mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power

cord. Ensure that all power cords in the rack cabinet are disconnected before servicing any device in the rack cabinet.

v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to

power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.

v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could

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.

xx TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

CAUTION:

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack

ambient temperatures WILL 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 of the unit.

v Connect the equipment to the supply circuit such 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 located 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 may become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

v (For fixed drawers) Do not move a fixed drawer.

Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack may cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

(R001)

Safety and Environmental Notices xxi

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow the general guidelines as listed below 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 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 the route that you choose can hold 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 762 x 2032 mm

(30 x 80 inches).

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 installed on the

rack cabinet during movement.

v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees.

v Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the

following:

– Lower the four leveling pads.

– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.

– If you remove any of the 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 of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

Encryption

| |

| | | | | | | | |

The LTO Ultrium 4, 5, and 6 Tape Drive supports host Application Managed Encryption (AME), Library Managed Encryption (LME), and System Managed Encryption (SME), using T10 encryption methods, for SAS and Fibre Channel drives only. Data encryption is supported with LTO Ultrium 4, Ultrium 5, and Ultrium 6 Data Cartridges only. Encryption is also supported with 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 may validate each drive instance by checking the drive's digital certificate.

The LTO Ultrium 6 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 via support line contract.

The library firmware should always allow the user to select "None" or "Application Managed Encryption" from the Web User Interface, as long as there is at least one encryption capable drive in the logical library. If a valid Transparent Encryption license key has been previously entered, "System Managed Encryption" or "Library Managed Encryption" can be selected. The factory default is "None."

Note: The optional Transparent Encryption Key feature enabling System Managed

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

Note: All encryption settings should be configured or re-verified in the drive after

any library or drive reset. This is because a new drive may have been added or an existing drive may have been swapped with another drive.

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

Chapter 1. Product Description 1-5

Supported Internet Protocols

The library supports the following Internet protocols:

v IPv4

v IPv6

To learn more about Internet protocols, visit http://www.iana.org/.

SNMP Messaging

Occasionally, the library may 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) to send 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 supplied in each SNMP trap, the monitoring station (together with customer-supplied software) can alert operations personnel of possible problems or operator interventions that occur.

SNMP Traps

SNMP traps are alerts or status messages that can be collected, monitored and used to proactively manage attached libraries using SNMP protocol with the host server(s). 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 are monitored. In the case of the library, it would include enclosure, power supply, controller, magazine status, drive count, cartridge slot count, and I/O station count. Also included would be 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 returning to normal operations. For additional 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 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, Ultrium 4, Ultrium 5, and Ultrium 6 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.

Chapter 1. Product Description 1-9

Media

Channel Calibration

The channel calibration feature of the Ultrium 3, Ultrium 4, Ultrium 5, and Ultrium 6 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, Ultrium 4, Ultrium 5, and Ultrium 6 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.

Product Environment

The library is designed to operate in a general business environment.

The library meets the acoustical requirements for general business area category 2D. Category 2D states that the library should be installed a minimum of4m(13 ft.) from a permanent work station.

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. 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 people 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.

Supported Servers, Operating Systems, and Software

Chapter 2. User Interfaces

This library has two user interfaces.

v Operator Control Panel - located on the front panel of the library

v “Web User Interface” on page 2-4 - accessed via 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 - This is the normal mode of operation. In this mode, the

Operator Control Panel displays status associated with the actions that were caused from commands issued via the drive's internal (drive to library) serial interface.

When an Operator Control Panel button is pressed and released, the Operator Control Panel automatically transitions to User Interaction mode. User Interaction mode will continue 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 will return to System Driven mode.

If necessary, the Operator Control Panel automatically transitions to the System Driven mode. When this occurs, the library must remember the previous function before the display mode changed. Therefore the next button pressed only transitions 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 received over the host interface or

the Web User Interface and those entered via the Operator Control Panel will be 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 will not allow a user to select an impossible request. Those

situations will 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 detected by the library or drive controller and not recoverable through

predetermined firmware algorithms will be considered as fatal. An error code will be displayed on the Operator Control Panel display and the error LED will

become illuminated. 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, fatal 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 may 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 appears after powering ON the library. 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 current status of the I/O Station

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

Figure 2-1. 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 will stop flashing and be constantly illuminated.

2-2 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

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

The following are additional operational details of LEDs:

v The Ready/Activity LED is illuminated any time the unit is powered ON and

functional. The Ready/Activity LED blinks whenever there is library or drive activity. This LED will also blink when the unit is OFFLINE.

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

required flag has been 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.

Problem Action Required

Bad media

Drive sled issues Do one of the following:

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 10-3).

- 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).

Redundant power supply failed Complete the following steps:

1. Replace the failed power supply (see “Replacing a Power Supply” on page 10-11).

2. Cycle library power.

Power supply fan failure Replace the power supply.

v The Error LED is illuminated when there is an unrecoverable (i.e. hard) drive or

library failure. This will happen at the same time the hard error message is displayed on the screen and the LED will remain 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.

Chapter 2. User Interfaces 2-3

Selecting Predefined Values

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

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

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

item.

2. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, select one of the various predefined states

for that item.

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

Entering Numerical Values

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

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 whole 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 will initiate a controlled power down of the library (soft landing). The following operations will 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 may be aborted by releasing the button before 4

Web User Interface

Many of the same operations performed from the Operator Control Panel can also be performed remotely using the Web User Interface.

Chapter 3. Installation Planning

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

Determining the Number of Logical Libraries

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 be able 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 can be 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 (for example, the same application run by several System p servers).

From the library's Web User Interface or Operator Control Panel, the following actions can be performed:

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. (For more information, see “Using Multiple Logical Libraries for Library Sharing” on page 3-2.)

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, there are several ways to set up this type of configuration. 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

– 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's Systems Management Server (SMS) and Clustered Server Environments. Multi-initiator configurations are only supported 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

Storage Manager (TSM).

be added (see “Using Multiple Control Paths”). It is used by Backup Recovery and Media Services (BRMS).

Library configuration is not limited to the examples given above. Many configurations are possible, and can be designed according to your business needs. For additional information, refer to your host application documentation.

Using 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 can be 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 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

Using Multiple Control Paths

In addition to creating multiple logical libraries, any logical library can be configured to have more than one control path. When configuring additional control paths, additional library sharing configurations and availability options are made possible. Access to the logical library is on a first-come, first-served basis and 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 will be 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 be 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.

Using 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 OS/400 5.2, or i5/OS 5.3 operating system.

5.1,

Using 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 can include another HBA, SAN, or library control path drive. The device driver initiates error recovery and continues the

3-2 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

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 should be 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 entered at the library user interface) and Data Path Failover (key entered at the device driver interface). A single activation key entered at the library user interface now activates both features unless the LTO-3 drive firmware level is equal to or lower than 73P5 and/or the library firmware is equal to or lower than 1.95. For either or both of these two cases, the device driver interface Data Path Failover key activation will still be required. For library firmware of 8.xx or lower the Path Failover feature is available for select LTO 4 tape drives, and is not supported for Half High drives.Library firmware levels higher than 8.xx support Path Failover on LTO 5 Full High and Half High drives, as well as LTO 4 Full Highand Half High drives.

| |

Library firmware levels higher than B.50 support Path Failover on LTO 6 Tape Drives, and also LTO 5 and LTO 4 Full High Drives.

The Path Failover feature can be installed by the customer. For ordering information, see Chapter 11, “Optional Features, Replacement Parts and Power Cords,” on page 11-1.

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

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 has been expanded with the new library firmware and half-high drive integration. Now it is possible to configure 1, 2, 3 or 4 partitions in the 4U library. Additionally the 2U library can now be 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 high drives are installed in a 2U library, the library firmware will support partitioning in the same way that the 4U supports partitioning with two full high drives today. The first partition will contain the first magazine and the first drive. The second partition will contain the second magazine and the second drive. The I/O station (if configured as I/O) will be shared, as is done with the partitioned 4U library.

One full high drive is "Drive 1". When using half high drives, the first half high drive position will be called "Drive 1", The second half high drive position will be called "Drive 2."

Partitioning of 4U Libraries

When one or more half high drives are added to a 4U library, the drive naming will change. Currently, the first full high drive is "Drive 1" and the second full high drive is "Drive 2". When you consider that each full high drive slot may contain

Chapter 3. Installation Planning 3-3

one or two half high drives, there are four potential drives in the space that used to occupy two. As a result, the first half high drive position, or the first full-high drive position, will be called "Drive 1". The second half high drive position will be called "Drive 2". The third half high drive position, or the second full high drive position, will be called "Drive 3". The fourth half high drive position will be called "Drive 4".

Important: In a 4U library a full high drive sled may be installed in drive slot 1

(drive will occupy slot 1 and slot 2) or drive slot 3 (drive will occupy slot 3 and slot 4). A full high drive sled should never be installed in drive slot 2 (drive will occupy slot 2 and slot 3).

Mixing of Drives

The library supports a mix of full high and half high 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 will 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.

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 will contain all four magazines.

When configured with one logical partition, the Element Address assignments will be as follows: DTE assignments will be as shown in Figure 3-1.

SCSI Element Addressing

Every logical library starts at the first drive slot with the current assigned element start address (default value 256). It will be 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 high drives will continue to have the addresses assignments 256 and 257, thus causing no interruptions to their operation. Drive slots will still be incremented by 1 for each drive slot position.

3-6 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

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 preserved to not confuse the attached host and host application. Generally only drives which are currently physically available or temporarily removed are reported. Empty (unused) slots located at the bottom or the top should not be reported, with an exception in case of a “removed” condition. A drive slot which does not contain a drive, and has a position between used slots, needs to be reported as a SCSI element. To signal the host application that this slot is not usable, its ACCESS bit will be disabled.

Note: When reducing the number of drives in your library, update the Logical

Library configuration. This will remove the Attention LED on the front panel and the exclamation mark on the Home screen indicating that a drive is missing.

Updating the Logical Library configuration will also update the drive element addressing and drive numbering. Replacing LTO half high drives with full high drives may require you to execute Restore Factory Defaults to correctly update the drive element addressing and drive numbering. See “Configure Library: Save/Restore” on page 5-68.

Using 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 will always be 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 World Wide Node Name (WWNN) or World Wide Port Name (WWPN), persistent binding causes a tape drive's WWNN to be bound to a specific SCSI target ID. After a configuration has been set, it survives reboots and any hardware configuration changes because the information is preserved. If a drive needs to 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 to be changed 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 will not scan beyond LUN 0 and will fail to discover the library. It will only see the tape drive.

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

Host Interfaces

The 2U library and the 4U library can be attached to servers using the following interfaces:

v SCSI (LVD Ultrium 160)

v Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

SCSI Interface

Note: Although the LVD hardware in the library is capable of operating in

single-ended (SE) mode, SE operation is not recommended.

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

Before installing the SCSI cables, 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) when attaching

to the host interface board (SCSI) and one or two daisy-chained drives.

– Use a maximum system-to-device cable length of 5 m (17 ft) when attaching

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) when

attaching directly to one device (a point to point interconnection).

Note: Daisy-chaining is NOT recommended due to 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 using an LVD Ultra160 SCSI interface. Each SCSI drive sled uses shielded, HD68-pin connectors, and can attach directly to a 2-byte-wide SCSI cable.

3-8 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

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 below gives the maximum bus length between terminators for the LVD interface. For information about cable connectors, see “SCSI Connectors and Adapters” on page 3-10.

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

meters)

12 (LVD)

For maximum performance, multiple SCSI buses may be required (see “Using 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 due to 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 below lists the types of SCSI buses and gives the recommended maximum quantity of drives that you can attach.

Table 3-3. Recommended maximum quantity of drives per SCSI bus

Type of Drive Ultra 160 SCSI Bus

LVD Ultrium 3 1 drive at 2:1 compression

Using Multiple SCSI Buses

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

Note: Daisy-chaining is NOT recommended due to potential issues with SCSI bus

performance, SCSI cables/connectors, and host bus adapters.

Removal of any jumpers will create a SCSI bus for each drive installed in your library for attachment to multiple servers or to multiple SCSI adapter cards on one server. Remember that each SCSI bus must be terminated. Multiple SCSI buses may 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.

Chapter 3. Installation Planning 3-9

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 may additionally be addressed via LUN 1 of other drives in any logical library.

Any bus containing a Medium Changer device via 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 “Using Multiple Control Paths” on page 3-2.

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 life cycle. 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.) using 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 will support 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 Web site at http://www.scsita.org/terms/scsiterms.html. To ensure best performance, if possible, avoid daisy-chaining.

SAS Interface

A drive sled with a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface can be 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 Ultrium 6 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 will auto-negotiate speed. There are no configurable topologies thus no feature switches associated with SAS. The SAS Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 half high drive sleds are single ported and can only be attached to one host. The Ultrium 4 full high, Ultrium 5, and Ultrium 6 full high and half high drives are dual ported, and can be 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.

3-10 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

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 3, Ultrium 4, Ultrium 5, and Ultrium 6 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 is2m(6ft).

Using 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 can result in a device being seen multiple times from the same server. For example, if you have two HBAs from the same server connected to an Ultrium Tape Drive in the library, the drive will be detected and appear as two logical devices. That is, there will be two special files for one physical device. Zoning can address these issues.

Zoning allows you to partition your SAN into logical groupings of devices so that each group is isolated from the other and can only access the devices in its own group. 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 World Wide Node Name (WWNN) or World Wide 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

Chapter 3. Installation Planning 3-11

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 be connected on a separate HBA from disk storage devices to avoid potential configuration incompatibilities.

Fibre Channel Host Environment

Sharing on a Storage Area Network

With Storage Area Network (SAN) components, the possibilities for connecting multiple systems and multiple drives have 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 same drive. You can remove zoned partitions as you upgrade software and system levels.

Rackmounting the Library (for Rack Installation ONLY)

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 4-14.

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, perform the following steps.

1. Verify which rack kit was included in your shipment. Although there are two

different rack kits, the steps to install them are the same. After verifying which Rack Kit you received, see Figure 4-4 for the installation steps.

Attaching the Library to a Server

The 2U library and the 4U library can be attached to servers using the following interfaces:

v SCSI (LVD Ultra 160)

v Fibre Channel

v Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

Connecting the Host Interface Cable

To connect the host interface cables to the library:

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

connecting the host interface cable could 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 4-17 on page 4-15). 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 4-18 on page 4-15). For a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected library, attach the host end of the SAS cable to the SAS HBA (see 2 in Figure 4-19 on page 4-15). Full high

a77ug110

4-14 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

drives will have dual SAS connectors. Half high drives will have one SAS connector. Unused SAS connectors do not need to be terminated.

Figure 4-19. Attaching a SAS interface cable to the 2U library

3. Attach the other end of the host interface cable as follows:

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 4-17) to the remaining SCSI

Chapter 4. Installation and Configuration 4-15

a77ug134

connector on the back panel of the library, if the library is the last or only device on the SCSI bus. Otherwise, attach one end of a SCSI cable to the remaining port and the 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 specified for Ultra160 or Ultra320 use or

labeled as Multi Mode should be used.

Note: The host bus adapter should be LVD SCSI. A single-ended (SE) SCSI

host bus adapter will work, but will severely degrade performance, and limit cable length. If there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate 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, using 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 4-17 on page 4-15, 5 in Figure 4-18 on page 4-15, or 3 in Figure 4-19 on page 4-15) into the ethernet port on the back panel of the library. If the ethernet connection is directly attached to a server or laptop, a crossover ethernet cable may be required.

Host Fibre Channel Network

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

required.

Installing a Fibre Channel Interposer (Feature Code 5096)

Choosing General Library Settings

If your library contains only one drive or logical library, both general and specific settings will be combined into one table (see Figure 4-23 on page 4-23).

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

2. Click General and enter the following:

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: If a Logical Library in Sequential Mode contains more than

one drive, only the first drive in the Logical Library will be utilized.

- 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.

4-22 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide

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

v Active Slots - Select the number of active slots you would like to assign in

your library. This item will affect the number of Res. (Reserved) Slots in your library. For more information refer to “Configuring I/O Stations and Reserving Slots” on page 5-78.

Note: Slots can be reserved so that they are invisible to the host. It may be

necessary to reserve slots in order to match the number of available slots to the ISV software licensing. Slots will be reserved starting with the highest element address. If your library does not have a dedicated cleaning cartridge slot, and you desire 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 3

slots (in a 4U library or the 1st slot in a 2U library) are configured as storage. See “Configure Library: General” on page 5-44.

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.

v Bar Code Label Length Reported to Host - Choose between 6 and 8. With 6,

the first six characters of the cartridge VOLSER (Volume Serial Numbers) will be reported to the host. With 8, All characters in the VOLSER (first six characters plus the two character media type identifier) will be reported to the host. For more information on bar code labels, see “Bar Code Label” on page 6-5.

If you have a 2U or 4U library with only one drive, or do not wish to partition your library, proceed to the next section, “Entering Path Failover Feature Activation Key” on page 4-25.

One cartridge magazine cannot be assigned to two logical libraries. If you partition a multi-drive library, each of the magazines must be assigned to a logical library on a magazine boundary. The entire magazine must be part of one logical library only.

Note: If you have a 2U library with two drives, you have the capability to have

two logical libraries.

In a fully populated 4U library with four half high drives and four logical libraries, resource assignments will be as follows:

v Logical Library 1 will contain Drive 1 and the lower left cartridge magazine.

v Logical Library 2 will contain Drive 2 and the upper left cartridge magazine.
