Chapter 1

1Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the ATL M-Series libraries and their features.

Library Capacity

ATL M1500

Library

ATL M2500

Library

The ATL M1500 library can contain up to two tape drives and up to 21 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 25 LTO cartridges. The cartridges are stored in two independently removable cartridge magazines and one fixed cartridge slot.

The ATL M2500 library can contain:

Up to five tape drives and up to 84 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 100 LTO cartridges

Six tape drives and up to 73 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 87 LTO cartridges

ATL M-Series User’s Guide

1

Chapter 1 Overview

SCSI Configuration

The cartridges are stored in up to eight independently removable cartridge magazines and up to four fixed cartridge slots.

SCSI Configuration

The ATL M1500 and ATL M2500 library modules come configured for LVD SCSI. One SCSI bus is provided for the library robotics and for each tape drive installed. These SCSI buses are SCSI-2 fast/ wide (8/16 bit), Ultra SCSI, Ultra 2 SCSI, or Ultra 3 SCSI, depending on the drives installed.

Library Scalability

The ATL M1500 and ATL M2500 library modules can be used as stand-alone libraries, or can be combined with other ATL M1500 and ATL M2500 library modules and a StackLink mechanism in a standard 19-inch rack to form a larger library system (called a multiple library stack). The multiple library stack appears as a single large capacity library to the host.

The StackLink mechanism connects the library modules in the multiple library stack and transports cartridges from module to module. Each tape drive has access to all the tape cartridges in the stack.

Once the StackLink mechanism is installed in the rack, you can add library modules simply by sliding them into place and making the necessary electrical connections.

Table 1 lists the capacities of all the sizes of multiple library stack you can create using ATL M1500 library modules. Table 2 lists the capacities of all the sizes of multiple library stack you can create using ATL M2500 library modules. You can obtain different capacities by combining ATL M1500 and ATL M2500 library modules in a multiple library stack.

Operator

The operator control panel consists of the following elements:

control panel

• Graphical user

The GUI displays library status information and allows

 

 

interface (GUI)

you to access the library menus. These menus allow you to

 

 

view or change the library settings, run demonstration

 

 

programs, or run diagnostic tests.

 

 

The GUI is discussed in detail in this book.

 

• Five GUI

Use these buttons in combination with the GUI to scroll

 

buttons

through screens and select options or commands. The

 

 

functionality of these buttons changes depending on the

 

 

currently displayed GUI screen.

 

• Magazine

Pressing these buttons opens the magazine doors, if the

 

door buttons

magazines have already been released using the Mags

 

 

option on the GUI (see Removing the Magazines on

 

 

page 38).

 

• Light emitting

The operator control panel has two LED indicators:

 

diode (LED)

• The green LED lights when the library is fully

 

indicators

 

operational and ready to accept host commands. It

 

 

 

 

flashes while the library is transitioning from a READY

 

 

state to a NOT READY state. The library will not be

 

 

READY during power-on self-tests, when magazines

 

 

are being released, or during access to certain menu

 

 

items.

 

 

• The red LED lights when there is a library error.

 

 

• Both LEDs flash when there is a library fault that

 

 

requires operator attention.

These doors protect the data cartridge magazines.

Back Panel

Each cartridge magazine holds 10 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 12 LTO cartridges. The bins in the left magazines are numbered from 1 through 10 (or 12 in LTO libraries) from front to back. The bins in the right magazines are numbered from 1 through 10 (or 12 in LTO libraries) from back to front.

The ATL M1500 has one fixed cartridge slot behind the left magazine. The ATL M2500 has four fixed cartridge slots, one behind each left magazine. The fixed cartridge slots can be used as additional data cartridge bins, or can be used to hold cleaning tapes, which can be moved to a tape drive when cleaning is required.

A bar code reader is attached to the library’s robotic hand. This bar code reader automatically identifies the cartridges in the library, if the cartridges are fitted with acceptable bar code labels.

Figure 5 illustrates the back panel of the ATL M1500 library. Figure 6 illustrates the back panel of the ATL M2500 library.
