1Overview

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

Library Capacity 1

ATL M1500 Library

ATL M2500 Library

The ATL M1500 library can contain up to two tape drives and up
1
1
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 1

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 1

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
you can create using ATL M1500 library modules. Tab le 2 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.

Library Features
Operator control panel
The operator control panel consists of the following elements:
•Graphical user interface (GUI)
The GUI displays library status information and allows 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 buttons
Use these buttons in combination with the GUI to scroll through screens and select options or commands. The functionality of these buttons changes depending on the currently displayed GUI screen.
• Magazine door buttons
Pressing these buttons opens the magazine doors, if the magazines have already been released using the option on the GUI (see Removing the Magazines page 38).
• Light emitting diode (LED) indicators
The operator control panel has two LED indicators:
• The green LED lights when the library is fully 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.
Mags

• 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.
This window allows you to view the library robotics while the library is operating.

Chapter 1 Overview Library Features
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.

Introduction 2

Before using the GUI to perform library functions, familiarize yourself with the:

Main screen

GUI buttons
•GUI icons
Main Screen 2
The first screen the GUI displays after library initialization is the main screen. This screen displays library status and provides inventory information for the cartridge magazines, the fixed slot(s), the drives, and the robotic hand. It also provides access to the library menus. It updates in real time as cartridges move within the library.
The main screen appears somewhat different depending on whether the library is an:
ATL M1500 stand-alone library
ATL M1500 library in a multiple library stack
ATL M2500 library If the library is a stand-alone ATL M1500, the main screen appears
as shown in figure 7
.

Introduction
If the library is an ATL M1500 and is part of a multiple library stack, the main screen displays the level of the ATL M1500 module and provides an additional button, the
Stack button (see figure 8).
Note: In a multiple library stack, each ATL M1500 library
module is considered one “level” of the library. Each ATL M2500 library module is considered four levels of the library (see figure 9
). Levels are numbered from top
to bottom, starting with 1.

Changing the Import/Export Setting 3
The

slots of the top left magazine as import/export elements or as storage elements:
Import/export elements are used to move cartridges in and out of the library under host control. Because these elements are used exclusively for importing and exporting cartridges, they are left empty during normal library operation, reducing the storage capacity of the library.
Storage elements are used to store data cartridges. Using storage elements to import and export cartridges can be risky since these operations are not controlled by the host.

option.
