Cartridge Handling Mechanism

The cartridge handling mechanism (CHM) is a compact,

bidirectional roller system that enables simple horizontal movement between the magazine and the tape drive (see figure 5

This design allows you to add and remove cartridges from the front of the magazine.

Note: If the CHM, or elevator, is positioned so that it blocks the

rear of the slot where the cartridge is to be loaded or unloaded, it is not possible to perform a load or unload operation. The cartridge cannot be pushed far enough into the slot so that it locks or unlocks into or out of its position in the magazine. In this instance, the magazine will have to be removed in order to load or unload that particular magazine slot.

Quantum|ATL PowerStor L200 Series Library User’s Guide 7

The library requires 6 inches space behind it for cables and

connections. The library also requires 6 inches in front of it for opening and closing the library door. No extra space is required to either side of the library. To remove and replace the library enclosure, you need an overhead clearance slightly greater than the height of the library (see Physical Specifications

on page 62).

Place the library on a clean , lev el surface. If the library is placed on

a desk or table, make sure it is sturdy enough to support the library’s weight, 37 pounds (17 kilograms) (empty).

The electrical ratings for the library are 100 to 1 20/200 to 240 VAC,

50/60 Hertz.

A 110/120 VAC power cord is supplied with your library. If your locale does not use 110/120 VAC, the power cord used with this equipment must meet this criteria:

• A minimum of 18/3 AWG, 60

°C, Type SJT

• UL and CSA certified cordage rated for use at 250 VAC with a current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the product (in Europe, the cordage must have the HAR mark)

12 Quantum|ATL PowerStor L200 Series Library User’s Guide

Chapter 2 Installing the Library

Selecting an Installation Location

• The AC plug must be terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your country and it must also have marks showing certification by an agency acceptable in the country

• The connector at the product end must be an IEC 320 type C13 female connector

• The cord must be no longer than 14.5 feet (4.5 meters)

Chapter 2 Installing the Library

Configuring the Library

If all the POST tests are completed successfully, and the drive and library are initialized, the library is ready for operation. If the tests did not complete, run the POST again; if the tests are still not complete, the library needs service.

Note: To rerun the POST, turn off the library. Wait ten seconds,

then turn the library power on again.

Configuring the Library 2

Configuration consists of verifying that the lib rary and the internal drive have the correct SCSI ID settings. The system uses SCSI IDs to identify or address devices, such as the library controlle r and the tape drive on the SCSI bus.

If the library is one of multiple SCSI devices on the bus, be sure to use a SCSI ID that is unique from any other device or system ID on the SCSI bus (see table 2

If the cleaning routine is run on a cleaning cartridge that has not expired, Cln is cleared from the OCP after the tape rewinds and unloads. The Cln message is cleared when the tape drive successfully completes a cartridge calibration routine after a retry.

To limit use of a cleaning cartridge:

• Avoid touching leaders and media with bare fingers. Oils and

grease from the skin are especially damaging and may cause drive failures that require drive replacement.

• Maintain a clean work area to ensure drive reliability.

• Select a site away from line printers, cardboard boxes, or other

sources of dust and debris.

5SCSI Interface

This chapter details the SCSI protocol features for the library. These features include:

• General SCSI Bus Operation

• SCSI Message System

General SCSI Bus Operation 5

This section discusses general SCSI bus operation. The SCSI specification refers to tape libraries as medium changers.

Note: Tape drive commands are not discussed in this

document but can be found in the SCSI Interface chapter of the specific product manual.

Quantum|ATL PowerStor L200 Series Library User’s Guide 51

Chapter 5 SCSI Interface General SCSI Bus Operation

Data Transfer 5

Initiator/Target Operation

SCSI IDs and LUNs

The library supports asynchronous and synchronous data transfers. The product has both differential and single-ended SCSI interfaces. Odd parity is generated during all information transfer phases where the device writes data to the SCSI bus, and checked during all information transfer phases where data is read from the bus.

During operations that take significant amounts of time, such as Move Media commands, the device di sconnects from the SCSI bus, allowing other devices to access the bus. This disconnection is configurable through the Disconnect-Reconnect Mode Parameters page.

The library does not act as an initiator on th e SCSI bus and wil l not:

• Generate unsolicited interrupts to the host

• Initiate its own SCSI commands

• Assert bus reset

The library always appears as logical unit number (LUN) LUN 0.

If the LUN specified in the Identify message is invalid, the library will accept the Command Descriptor Block (CDB). There are three cases in which this happens:

• If the command is Inquiry, the target will return the inquiry

data with the peripheral qualifier set to 011, indicating that the target will never support the LUN in question.

• If the command is Request Sense, the target will return sense

data. The sense key will be Illegal Request, with an additional sense code of Invalid LUN.

• For any other command, the target will terminate the command with a Check Condition status, and generates the sense data.

• Power on

• Bus reset

• Bus device reset message

• Asynchronous media change

• Another initiator changed the mode parameters

It is not unusual for a firmware (microcode) update to complete two queued unit attentions. Due to a limited number of unit attention buffers, if an initiator does not clear unit attentions queued for it, at some point the library stops generating new unit attentions for that initiator-LUN (I-L) combination. Existing ones are left queued.

All device SCSI lines go to a high-impedance state when the library is turned off.

The library does not generate any spurious signals on the SCSI bus when it is turned on.

Within 5 seconds of being turned on, and within 250 milliseconds (typically under 4 ms) after a bus reset, the library responds to SCSI bus selections and returns appropriate, normal, responses. Tape motion commands are returned with a Check Condition status, Sense Key Not Ready, until the media has been made ready.

The hard bus reset option is implemented. The library recognizes multiple bus resets in succession and bus

resets of arbitrarily long duration. It recovers within the time limits specified above, following the last bus reset.

Quantum|ATL PowerStor L200 Series Library User’s Guide 53

Chapter 5 SCSI Interface SCSI Message System

Other SCSI Functionality

Bus Phases 5

Linked commands and untagged queuing are supported.

The library conforms to the bus state transition table shown in the SCSI-2 Standard, Phase Sequences. The in format ion i n the f oll owi ng sections also applies.

Attention Signal Response

The library responds to an attention (ATN) condition at every

phase transition, as long as the initiator sets the ATN bit before the target deasserts the request (REQ) for the last byte of the previous phase. Generally, ATN is recognized immediately by the library, and it changes the bus phase to Message Out.

SCSI Message System 5

This section discusses status phases, messages, and bus parity errors.

Status Phase 5

The library enters the status phase just once per command, unless the initiator requests a retry. The only exception is during error cases when the device goes immediately to BUS FREE, as defined in the SCSI-2 standard. The library can return a variety of status bytes (see table 12

54 Quantum|ATL PowerStor L200 Series Library User’s Guide

Chapter 5 SCSI Interface

SCSI Message System

Table 12 Status Bytes

Status Byte Description

GOOD (00) This stat us indicates the library successfully

completed the command.

CHECK CONDITION (02)

A contingent allegiance condition occu rred. The REQUEST SENSE command should be sent following this status to determine the nature o f the event.

BUSY (08) The target is busy. This status is returned

whenever the device is unable to accept a command from a n oth erw is e acce pt ab le in iti ato r. The initiator should reissue the comma nd at a later time.

INTERMEDIATE GOOD (10h)

RESERVATION CONFLICT (18h

This status is returned instead of GOOD status for commands issued with the LINK bit set. Following the return of this status, the libra ry will proceed to the COMMAND phase for the transfer of the next linked command.

This status is returned by the library whenever a SCSI device attempts to access the library when it has been reserved for another initiator with a

RESERVE UNIT command.

COMMAND TERMINATED (22h)

This is the status returned for a command that was termina t ed by a TERMINATE I/O PROCESS message. This status also indicates that a contingent allegiance condition has occurred.

The Test Unit Ready command is used to determine whether the library would accept, for example, a Move Medium or Position command without returning a CHECK CONDITION status.

Quantum|ATL PowerStor L200 Series Library User’s Guide 55

Chapter 5 SCSI Interface SCSI Message System

Bus Free 5

Bus Parity Errors5

There are several situations when the device will go t o BUS FREE unexpectedly, as defined in the SCSI-2 standard (see sections 4.1.1 and 4.3):

• An internal hardware or firmware fault that makes it unsafe for the device to continue operation without a full reset (similar to a power-up reset).

• ATN asserted or bus parity error detected during non-tape data transfers.

Bus parity errors (single bit errors) are very serious. They imply the possibility of undetected double-bit errors on the bus. Most likely these result in undetected data corruption. On properly configured SCSI buses, parity errors are extremely rare. If any are detected, they should be addressed quickly by improving the configuration of the SCSI bus. A well-configured SCSI system in a normal environment should be virtually free of bus parity errors.

Bus parity errors cause the library to either retry the operation, go to Status phase, or go to BUS FREE and prepare sense data. Retrying of parity errors during the data out phase is normally not done, but can be enabled by changing the EnaParErrRetry parameter in the Vendor Unique (VU) EEROM mode page. This feature is disabled by default because of negative impacts on device performance. Additionally, the data stream on writes cannot be pipelined.

Basic Library Operation 6

When operating the library:

• Check the tape leader in the cartridge by lifting the cartridge latch that opens the door, exposing the leader. Be sure the leader is in the correct position (see figure 16

• Verify that the cartridge door is fully closed and the current slot is correct for the starting cartridge.

Caution: Do not touch the exposed magnetic tape. If the tape

leader is not in the correct position, use a new cartridge.

The mean interval between failures of the lib rary unit (less the t ape drives) is:

• 185,000 power-on hours (POH) mean time between failures (MTBF)

• 1,000,000 mean load/unload cycles between failures (MCBF), where a failure is charged against one or the other, but not both
