Preface

Taking ESD Precautions Some components within the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries contain

static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:
• Use an antistatic wrist strap. If you do not have one, touch the outside of the library on the sheet metal before touching any components to discharge static from your body.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for installation. Look for the ESD sticker to identify static sensitive parts.
• Avoid touching connectors and other components.
Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have
lower relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.

This chapter covers the layout and basic functionality of the library, including:
Overview
Library Components
Standard Features
Licensable Features
The Scalar i40 and i80 tape libraries automate the retrieval, storage, and management of tape cartridges. Tape cartridges are stored in the library and mounted and dismounted from tape drives using firmware running on the library or software running on the host systems.
See Appendix A, Specifications for library capacity and a list of tape drives and media supported by the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries.

Robotic System and Barcode Scanner

Four naviga­tion/selection buttons
These buttons, in combination with the operator panel display, are used to scroll through screens and select options or commands. The functionality of these buttons changes depending on the currently displayed operator panel screen.
Ticket indica­tor LED
Indicates whether a diagnostic ticket exists on the library. See
Front Panel LEDs on page 257 and About Diagnostic Tickets on page 248 for more informa-
tion.
Power-on LED Indicates whether library power is on or off. See
Front Panel LEDs on page 257 for more information.
Power button Turns the library on or off.
Turning off the library using the power button turns off the robot and operator panel, but power still runs to the power supplies. See
Shutting Down, Restarting, Turning Off, and Removing Power on
page 139 for instructions on how to shut down the library safely.
The robotic system identifies and moves the cartridges between the storage slots, tape drives, and the I/E station. The robotic arm (picker) has picker fingers that enable it to grab tape cartridges and move them into and out of slots and tape drives.
A barcode scanner is attached to the library’s robotic hand. This barcode scanner automatically identifies the slots and cartridges in the library, if the cartridges are fitted with acceptable barcode labels.
Each tape cartridge must contain a unique, matching-readable barcode that the barcode scanner reads during the inventory process. During the inventory process, the barcode scanner reads the barcode labels on the tape cartridges and empty slots to identify the types of tape cartridges that are installed in the library.
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 3
Chapter 1: Description Library Components
Tape cartridges cannot have duplicate barcode labels. This barcode identifies the cartridge. The library stores the physical location of the tape cartridge in an inventory database. All library or host requests typically reference the location of the tape cartridges based on this barcode number. Barcode labels are mandatory and must adhere to specific standards. For more information on barcodes, see
Chapter 11,
Working With Cartridges and Barcodes.
Robots can only be replaced by a Quantum Support technician.

Magazines Magazines are removable and contain storage and import/export

station slots for cartridges. Each magazine has 20 slots, arranged in four columns of five slots each. The Scalar i40 contains two magazines; the Scalar i80 contains four. The right magazines provide up to five slots each for use as an import/export (I/E) station. For more information on I/E stations, see Configuring I/E Station Slots on page 62.
Note: Cartridges are gently restrained within the magazine by a
detent found on the left side of each individual magazine bin slot. To manually remove a cartridge, pull a cartridge from the front or push on the cartridge from the rear of the magazine via an “access hole.” Be gentle to avoid any bending of the top magazine cover sheet metal.
The library will run if one or more magazines is open or removed; however, it runs at reduced speed. The library will not move a cartridge to an open or removed magazine, but it will move a cartridge to any of the other installed magazines.
You can open the magazines using library software or manually. For information, see

Each slot in the installed magazine is numbered with location coordinates. The library location coordinate contains three digits as follows: [Magazine],[Column],[Slot]. magazines and list all of the location coordinates.
Magazine — Library magazine level is represented by the first digit
of a library coordinate. In a Scalar i40, there is only one level of magazine. The coordinate is always zero. In a Scalar i80 library, the bottom magazines are indicated by a zero; the top magazines are indicated by the number
1.
Column — A storage column is a group of slots arranged vertically
in the library. Columns are represented by the second digit of a library coordinate. Columns are identified relative to the front left of the library. The column in the front left of the library is number 1. The column numbering continues around the library in a clockwise direction. The I/E station column is always number 8.
Slot — Slots (both storage and I/E station) are represented by the
third digit of the library location coordinate. Within each magazine column, slots are numbered from 1 to 5, starting at the top of the magazine.

Chapter 1: Description Library Components

Power Supply The Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries support single power

configurations consisting of a single AC line input and single DC power supply. The Scalar i80 library supports a redundant power configuration consisting of a dual AC line input and dual DC power supplies.
If you have a Scalar i80 and are only using one power supply, the power supply should be installed in the upper power supply slot, and a filler plate must cover the empty power supply slot (see If you are using redundant power, you can hot add or hot swap a power supply (power to the library remains on while you add or exchange the hardware).
The Scalar i40 power supply cannot be installed in a Scalar i80. However, the Scalar i80 power supply works in either the Scalar i40 or the Scalar
i80.
Warning: The power outlet must be available near the library and
must be easily accessible.
The power system consists of the following components:
Figure 5 on page 10).
• Power supply
• AC power cord
The power supply has one status LED. For more information, see Power
Supply LED on page 261.
For information on removing and replacing power supplies, see
66559-XX Scalar i40 and Scalar i80: Power Supply Replacement
.

System Control Board The system control board (SCB) contains the library firmware, all

configurable settings, license keys, and SKM TLS certificates. It manages the entire library, including the operator panel and robot, and is responsible for running system tests to ensure that the library is functioning properly. The SCB has two Ethernet ports:
• Left port — For remote management (Web client)
• Right port — For service only. In rare cases, you may need to change the IP address of the port if it conflicts with your library IP address (see
Configuring the Service Port on page 78).
See Figure 4 on page 10 and Figure 5 on page 10 for port locations.

.

Tape Drives Every library configuration must contain at least one tape drive.

See Appendix A, Specifications for a list of tape drives and media supported by the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries.
The library supports mixing different tape drive types within the library and within partitions. For information on how to do this, see
With Partitions on page 49.
Tape drives are installed into tape drive slots in the rear of the library. If a tape drive slot is empty, a filler plate must cover the empty slot (see
Figure 5 on page 10).
Caution: Filler plates are required to maintain proper library cooling.
Do not run the library with uncovered slots.
SAS tape drives have one status LED. Fibre Channel tape drives contain a status and a link LED. For more information on tape drive LEDs, see

Standard Features

Standard Features
This section describes several features of Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries.

User Interface The operator panel is located on the front of the library and allows you

to work locally on the library via the user interface. The Web client allows you to view and perform library functions from remote sites and is accessible through a browser. The operator panel and Web client each contain a different user interface and functionality.
See Chapter 3, Understanding the User Interface for more information about the operator panel and the Web client.

Partitions Partitions are virtual sections within a library that present the

appearance of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file management, access by multiple users, or dedication to one or more host applications.
Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual sections. If one of the resources is not available due to a failure or other cause, the other partitions and their assigned components are still available. Partitions can also be used to control access to portions of the library by granting permissions to user accounts to access certain partitions (see
Accounts on the Web Client on page 81).
For more information on partitions, see Working With Partitions on page 49.

Control Path Modification

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 11
The control path tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host application. Only one tape drive can be selected as the control path at one time. By default, the first tape drive assigned to a partition is designated as the control path. In the event that the control path connection to the host application fails, you can select a new control path for the partition. See
Privilege Levels on page 80 and Creating Local User
Configuring Control Paths on page 66.
Chapter 1: Description Licensable Features

Support for WORM Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 tape libraries support WORM (write once, read

many) technology. WORM allows non-rewriteable and non-erasable data to be written and provides extra data security by prohibiting accidental data erasure. The WORM feature is supported whenever you use WORM cartridges.

Licensable Features

In addition to the standard features, the following additional, licensable features are available:
Capacity on Demand (COD)
Advanced Reporting - includes custom reports and logs and Control Path Failover functionality.
Encryption Key Management
For information on how to obtain and install a license key, see Adding or
Upgrading Licensable Features on page 68.

Capacity on Demand (COD)

12 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
All Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 library configurations ship with the purchased number of slots pre-activated. After the initial purchase of your library, you can activate any remaining inactive slots in your library by purchasing a COD license upgrade.
• The Scalar i40 base configuration has 25 slots activated (these slots comprise the first 5 magazine columns starting from the left front magazine column going clockwise). You can buy a COD license to activate the remaining 15 slots.
• The Scalar i80 base configuration has 50 slots activated (these slots comprise the first 5 magazine columns starting from the left front magazine column going clockwise). You can buy a COD license to activate the remaining 30 slots.
To see your library’s current configuration and slot availability, open the Library Configuration Report (choose from the Web client).
Reports > Library Configuration
Chapter 1: Description
Licensable Features
Advanced Reporting The Advanced Reporting license applies to your entire library, regardless
of library size. This means you only need to purchase the license once. If you increase the size of your library, your existing license applies to your new library configuration.
Advanced Reporting provides the following features and reports that you can configure for viewing and analysis:
Control Path Failover (CPF) - Provides support for configuring the LTO-5 or LTO-6 drive for control path failover. When control path failover is used, one drive is assigned as the primary control path and another drive as the control path failover (secondary) drive. The control path failover drive is used whenever the primary control path drive fails or is inoperable
Reports - Listed below are report names. You can view, configure, send via e-mail, and save and reuse report configurations as templates. In addition, you can automatically e-mail any of the reports to designated recipients at specified, scheduled times.
Drive Resource Utilization Report—Provides tape drive usage information, showing you which tape drives are working at optimum capacity and which are under-utilized. This can help you allocate your tape drive resources properly.
Media Integrity Analysis Report—Provides Tape Alert count for various combinations of tape drives, tape cartridges, and Tape Alert flags. This can help you determine if a problem is due to a specific tape drive or tape cartridge.
Logs - Listed below are available logs:
• Media Security Log - Lists media that has been removed from the library.
Media Usage Log - Lists information on all media that have ever been in the library.
For information on how to use the advanced reporting features, see

Advanced Reporting on page 111.

Chapter 1: Description Licensable Features

Encryption Key Management

The Encryption Key Management (EKM) license enables tape drive transparent encryption using library-managed encryption. The EKM license applies to the entire library, regardless of how many slots are licensed. If you increase the number of slots in your library, your existing license applies to your new library configuration. For more information about EKM, see
Chapter 7, Encryption Key Management.

Unpacking the Library

Choose a location in which to install the library that is as free from dust as possible. Dust can damage or degrade performance of library components and media.
Refer to the following sections of this manual for important information that you need when installing and setting up your library:
Environmental Specifications on page 279
Taking ESD Precautions on page xxiii
Note: Unpack the library as close to the installation location as
possible.
1 Inspect the outer library packaging for damage. If there is any
damage evident on the library packaging, do not continue with the installation and contact Quantum customer support.
2 Open the library packing box and remove the kit tray containing the
accessory kit and the rail kit (see come with tape drives installed in the library, and some come with tape drives packaged separately. If yours comes with tape drives packaged separately, remove them and set aside for installation later.

Understanding the User
Interface
The user interface for the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries is available in two formats: the operator panel and the Web client. Operations on the library can be performed locally on the operator panel or remotely on your computer using the Web client.
Both the operator panel and the Web client are required to operate the library. Some functionality is only available through the Web client, and some functionality is only available through the operator panel. However, it is recommended that you use the Web client rather than the operator panel to perform most library operations.

Subsystem Status You can quickly gauge the health of the library by observing the color of

the three subsystem status buttons located at the bottom of the home page. These buttons provide quick access to information about the “health” of the library for faster recovery if problems occur. You can select the buttons to view diagnostic tickets that report problems in the subsystems.
The three subsystems are:
Library — Represents connectivity, control, cooling, power, and robotics.
Drives — Represents tape drive components, such as tape drives, tape drive firmware, and tape drive sleds.
Media — Represents media components, such as cartridges and barcode labels.
Each button has three states indicated by color. The three states are:
Green (check mark) — No diagnostic tickets exist, or, if any tickets
do exist, they have all been closed.
Yellow (exclamation point) — The library contains open or
unopened, low- or high-priority diagnostic tickets.
Red (“X” mark) — The library contains open or unopened urgent
diagnostic tickets.
If the color of a subsystem button is red or yellow, you can click the button to display the corresponding
Diagnostic Tickets screen. This
screen lists library, drives, or media tickets, depending on which button was selected. See

Configuring the Library

A Setup Wizard is available to assist you with the initial configuration of the library. The Setup Wizard, however, contains only a subset of configuration tasks. The operator panel and Web client menus provide access to all configuration options that are included in the Setup Wizard and many that are not.
This chapter covers the Setup Wizard and all of the other configuration options. Paths to open the appropriate screens on both the operator panel and the Web client are given for each task. (For complete menu trees, see
Note: These operations should not be performed concurrently by
Menu Trees on page 31.)
multiple administrators logged in from different locations. You can access the screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is performing the same operation.
Caution: Always save the library configuration after modifying a
configurable item. This will allow you to restore the most current settings if necessary. See
Library Configuration on page 106.
Note: Power cycling (powering the library on and off) is not necessary
to configure the library.

Using the Setup Wizard

Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Using the Setup Wizard
WARNING: Follow all setup and cabling instructions in the
and Scalar i80 Quick Start Guide
Wizard.
When you first power on the library, the operator panel displays the Setup Wizard, which walks you through the initial configuration of the library’s basic operational settings.
Note: Library initialization can take approximately 9 to 23 minutes for
an i40, or 14 to 40 minutes for an i80. library during initialization.
The Setup Wizard on the operator panel displays when you first install your library. It displays only once, with the following exceptions: it will also display after SCB replacement, resetting factory defaults, or downgrading library firmware.
When the Setup Wizard displays on the operator panel, you must either complete the Setup Wizard or cancel out of it. If you cancel, you accept the library’s default configuration (see page 38). You can modify the configuration at any time later using the Setup Wizard on the Web client, or by using the Setup menu options from the operator panel or Web client.

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 37
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Default Configuration

Default Configuration

The library comes with a default configuration, which you can modify at any time. The default configuration is as follows:
Feature Default Configuration
Library host name library
Network settings IPv4, DHCP enabled
Number of partitions Equal to the number of unique tape
IPv6 disabled
drives — based on interface type (Fibre Channel or SAS) and drive generation (LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6) — not currently assigned to a partition.
Storage slots are divided equally among the partitions.
Number of I/E station slots 5
Number of cleaning slots 0

Configuring Network Settings

The operator panel Setup Wizard allows you to configure network settings that allow remote access to the library from the Web client. At a minimum, you must initially configure the network IP address from the operator panel. After the initial configuration, you can modify the network settings from either the operator panel or the Web client.
38 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Configuring Network Settings
Note: Changing the network settings may interrupt the library
connection and library communication. Your current browser session may become invalid. If this happens, you must close your browser and then restart it to reconnect to the library with your new configuration settings.
Note: Make sure that the library is connected to the network before
modifying network settings. If the Ethernet cable is not installed properly, you cannot configure the network settings. Install one end of the Ethernet cable in the left-most Ethernet port of the system control board (SCB) located on the back of the library (see
Figure 4 or Figure 5 on page 10). Make sure the
other end of the Ethernet cable is installed in the appropriate LAN port on your LAN.
You can configure the following network settings:

Library Host Name

DHCP
IP Addresses
Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, Network Prefix, and DNS Addresses
Some settings are only available on the Web client; others are only available on the operator panel, as described below.
Library Host Name The host name is the network name you want to assign to the library.
The host name is limited to 12 lowercase alphanumeric characters and dashes (-).
You can view, but not modify, the host name on the operator panel. To modify the host name, you must use the Web client.
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Network Management > Network.
2 Type a name in the Host Name field, and click Apply.
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 39
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Configuring Network Settings

DHCP DHCP is enabled by default. When DHCP is enabled, the library obtains

an IP address automatically. If DHCP is disabled, you must manually enter an IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask/net prefix. You can enable/disable DHCP from the operator panel or Web client.
Operator Panel
Select Setup > Network Configuration.
Web Client
Select Setup > Network Management > Network.

IP Addresses The library can support both IPv4 and IPv6 network settings at the same

time. For more details, see the bullets below.
Caution: If you change the IP address on your library, make sure to
change it on any host applications that access the library.
Note: Be sure to add your library’s IP address to the list of trusted/
allowed sites on your library-supported browser, so the Web client pages automatically refresh.
IPv4 Addresses — The library always supports IPv4 network
settings. The library can support either a DHCP-obtained or a static IPv4 address.
IPv4 addresses must be entered in dot notation (for example,
192.168.0.1). They are limited to numeric characters and do not allow values exceeding 255 for dot-separated values.
IPv6 Addresses — IPv6 is disabled by default and can only be
enabled/disabled via the operator panel. Once enabled, you must use the Web client to modify the address. Unlike IPv4, the library can support both DHCP-obtained and static IPv6 addresses at the same time.
40 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Configuring Network Settings
IPv6 addresses must be entered in the proper notation. IPv6 address can be entered in the most common notation, as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. 2001:0ff8:55cc:033b:1319:8a2e:01de:1374 is an example of a valid IPv6 address. Also, if one or more of the four-digit groups contains 0000, you can omit the zeros and replace them with two colons (::), as long as there is only one double colon used in an address. Using this notation, 2001:0ff8:0000:0000:0000:0000:01de:1374 is the same as 2001:0ff8::01de:1374.
You can configure IPv4 addresses on the operator panel or Web client. You can set the library to use IPv6 via the operator panel, but you must use the Web client to configure a static IPv6 address.

Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, Network Prefix, and DNS Addresses

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 41
These settings have specific configuration requirements, as follows:
• Default Gateway — The IP address of the default gateway for your portion of the Ethernet network. For IPv4, this setting can only be changed if DHCP is disabled.
• Subnet Mask (IPv4 only) — Available only if DHCP is disabled.
• Network Prefix (IPv6 only). Can be entered only on the Web client.
• Primary DNS Address (optional, Web client only) — Must be entered as an IP address. This text box is available only if DHCP is disabled.

Configuring SNMP Settings

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a light-weight protocol designed for remote management and monitoring of infrastructure devices. The library provides SNMP support, so an external management application can be configured to receive library SNMP information. The library supports SNMP by publishing a Management Information Base (MIB) that can be queried to obtain the status of the library and many of its individual components. SNMP information can be obtained from the library using SNMP Traps and GET queries.
For more information about SNMP, see the
Basic SNMP Reference Guide
For information on integrating MIBs with an SNMP management application, contact your network management application vendor.

Registering External Management Applications

42 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Administrators can register transport protocols, IP addresses, and port numbers of external management applications to enable them to receive SNMP traps from the library. (By default, the library ignores all SNMP SET operations, so external management applications cannot register themselves to receive SNMP traps from the library.)
After registering the transport protocols, IP addresses, and corresponding port numbers, you can perform a test to verify that the library can send the SNMP traps to the addresses.
(6-66773-xx).
Scalar i40 and Scalar i80
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Configuring SNMP Settings
When registering external management applications to receive SNMP traps, you can set the following parameters:
• Transport — The transport protocol. This should be the same as the transport protocol configured on the SNMP trap receiver. Select one of the following:
• UDP — User Datagram Protocol for IPv4.
• UDP6 — User Datagram Protocol for IPv6.
• TCP — Transmission Control Protocol for IPv4.
• TCP6 — Transmission Control Protocol for IPv6.
• Host Name/IP Address — The host name or the IP address of the external management application you want to register. A host name may be entered only if DNS is enabled. Otherwise, IP addresses must entered. For information on DNS, see
Default Gateway, Subnet
Mask, Network Prefix, and DNS Addresses on page 41.
• Port — the port number of the external application you want to register. The default port number for an external application is 162.
You can only perform these functions from the Web client.
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Network Management > SNMP Trap
Registrations.
2 Click one of the following buttons to perform these actions:
Create — Adds the IP address and port number of the external
application to the list of registered addresses that will be sent SNMP traps.
Delete — Deletes a selected IP address and port number.
Te st — This test simply sends the traps; it does not check to see
if they were received. You must check the external management applications to verify that the traps were received.

Enabling SNMP Versions

The library supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3.
You can enable or disable support for SNMP v1 and v2c. They are enabled by default. The recommended practice is to disable SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c in highly secure environments.
SNMP v3 is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
The authentication algorithm is set to MD5, and the encryption is disabled system-wide.
Operator Panel
1 Select Setup > Security Services > SNMP V1/V2
2 Press Modify.
3 Use the Up and Down buttons to select Enabled or Disabled and
press Apply.
4 Press Exit.
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.
2 Select the SNMP V1 and V2c check box (under New Settings) to
enable SNMP v1 and v2c. Clear the SNMP V1 and V2c check box to disable SNMP v1 and v2c.

Enabling SNMP Authentication Traps

44 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
The library allows you to enable or disable SNMP authentication traps. When the library receives an SNMP message that does not contain the correct community string or other authentication information, the library sends an SNMP authentication trap message to the external management application, indicating the authentication failure. SNMP authentication traps are disabled by default.
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Configuring SNMP Settings
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.
2 Select the SNMP Authentication Traps check box (under New
Settings) to enable SNMP authentication traps. Clear the SNMP Authentication Traps check box to disable SNMP authentication
traps.

Modifying the SNMP Community String

Administrators can modify the SNMP community string. The SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password to authenticate GET and GET-NEXT SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c messages exchanged between the library and an external management application. The SNMP community string used by the library must match the string used by the external management application.
The default SNMP community string on the library is: publicCmtyStr. For security purposes, this string should be modified. When modifying the community string, adhere to the following guidelines: the community string is case-sensitive, cannot be empty, and cannot exceed 32 characters.
You can modify the SNMP community string from the Web client only.
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.
2 Enter a new community string in the SNMP Community text box
under New Settings.
3 Click Apply.

Downloading the SNMP MIB

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 45
The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) is for library customers, partners, third-party management software developers, and other parties interested in integrating the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 with commercial management frameworks. The Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries support SNMP by publishing a MIB that can be queried to obtain the status of the library and many of its individual components.
Administrators can download the SNMP MIB from the library. The MIB can then be installed on an SNMP external management application.

The library supports the Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP allows you to synchronize the library date and time with other components in your IT infrastructure. Administrators can either modify the date and time zone settings manually or configure NTP.
If NTP is enabled, the time zone and IP addresses (or host names, if DNS is configured) of at least one NTP server must be configured on the library. Contact your network administrator for NTP server IP address information.
Caution: Using two NTP servers can cause incorrect time
calculations. You should use either one NTP server, or more than two, but not exactly two.
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Setting the Date, Time, and Time Zone
Details on NTP settings include:
• At least one NTP server must be configured and available.
• NTP is enabled on the Date & Time screen. When NTP is enabled, you cannot manually configure date and time. For more information on setting date and time manually, see
Setting the Date and Time
Manually on page 47.
• You can enter an IP address (or host name, if DNS is configured) for the NTP servers.
• NTP server IP addresses must be entered in the proper format. See
Configuring Network Settings on page 38 for the proper format of
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
• After you apply NTP settings, system clock synchronization may take several minutes.
• Enter one or more valid NTP server IP addresses (or host names, if DNS is configured) in the NTP servers text boxes. Using two NTP servers can cause incorrect time calculations. You should use either one NTP server, or three, but not exactly two.
You can only enable and configure NTP on the Web client.

Working With Partitions
Partitions are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file management, access by multiple users, or dedication to one or more host applications. The library must contain at least one unassigned tape drive and slot to create a partition.
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 49
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Working With Partitions
There are two ways to create partitions:
Automatically — Library resources are assigned proportionately among the partitions. Tape drives are grouped according to their interface type (Fibre Channel or SAS) and media generation (LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6). When you automatically create partitions, you add to the number of existing partitions. You can create partitions automatically on either the operator panel or the Web client. For more information, see
Automatically Creating Partitions on page 51.
Manually — An administrator can create partitions one at a time. Creating partitions manually gives you more control over resource allocation. When you manually create partitions, you add to the number of existing partitions. You can only create partitions manually on the Web client. For more information, see
Manually
Creating Partitions on page 52.
You can modify a partition if you need to change its settings. For example, the partition name, emulation type, media barcode format (to report to host), and number of assigned tape drives and slots can be modified. For information on modifying partitions, see
Modifying
Partitions on page 55.
When a partition is no longer needed, it can be deleted. For information on deleting partitions, see
Deleting Partitions on page 55.
Administrators can create, delete, and control access to all library partitions. Users can be given access to only certain partitions and denied access to others. For information on changing partition access for users, see
Changing Access to Partitions on page 57.
Details on partitions include:
• A partition consists of one tape drive and one slot at a minimum. The tape drive or slot cannot be shared with another partition.
• The default configuration for the library is one partition per unique tape drive installed in the library, based on interface type (Fibre Channel or SAS), media generation (LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6), and vendor type (IBM or HP).
• Partition names are limited to 12 lower-case alphanumeric characters and underscores (_).
• The maximum number of partitions that can be created is equal to the number of tape drives in the library.
50 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Working With Partitions
• The minimum number of partitions is one (the minimum may be higher when automatically creating partitions; see
Automatically
Creating Partitions on page 51 for details).
• Import/export (I/E) station slots are shared between all partitions. Partitions take temporary ownership of I/E station slots performing certain operations, such as importing and exporting cartridges.

Automatically Creating Partitions

Automatic partitioning assigns available library resources proportionately among the partitions, grouping tape drives according to their interface type (Fibre Channel or SAS), media generation (LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6), and vendor type (IBM or HP).
The library must contain at least one unassigned tape drive and one unassigned slot to automatically create a partition. If no unassigned tape drives or slots exist, you must modify or delete one or more partitions to free up resources. For more information, see
Modifying
Partitions on page 55 and Deleting Partitions on page 55.
You can select the number of partitions to create. The maximum number of partitions that you can create is equal to the number of tape drives in the library that are not currently assigned to a partition. The minimum number of partitions you can create automatically is the number of unique tape drives — based on interface type (Fibre Channel or SAS) and media generation (LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6) — not currently assigned to a partition. For example, if your library contains two tape drives, a Fibre Channel HP LTO-4 and a Fibre Channel HP LTO-5, two partitions is the minimum because the tape drive generations are different.
You cannot mix tape drive interface types or media generations within a partition when creating partitions automatically. If you wish to do so, you must create the partition manually (see
Manually Creating Partitions
on page 52).
When the library automatically creates partitions, it assigns the first tape drive in the partition as the control path. You can change the control path at any time. See
Configuring Control Paths on page 66 more
information.
Before automatically creating partitions, verify that all tape drives are unloaded and that all cartridges are in their appropriate storage slots. For information on unloading tape drives, see
Unloading Tape Drives on

Working With Partitions

Modifying Partitions You can modify partition settings any time after a partition is created.

For example, you can modify the name, emulation type, media barcode format, and number of assigned tape drives and slots.
The library automatically takes the partition offline before modifying it and places it back online after it has been modified.
The tape drive set as the control path for a particular partition cannot be deleted from that partition. The check box associated with the control path is grayed out. For more information on setting the control path, see
Configuring Control Paths on page 66.
Before modifying partitions, verify that all tape drives are unloaded and that all cartridges are in their appropriate storage slot location. For information on unloading tape drives, see page 161.
You can modify partitions only on the Web client.

Manually Creating Partitions on page 52.

Deleting Partitions A partition can be deleted when it is no longer needed. After a partition

is deleted, its resources (tape drives and slots) become unassigned and can be used to create new partitions or added to existing partitions.
Before deleting a partition, unload cartridges from the tape drives within the partition and then export all cartridges from the partition. Remove the cartridges from the I/E station after exporting them. For information on unloading tape drives, see page 161. For information on exporting cartridges, see Exporting Tape
Cartridges on page 158s. You can also remove cartridges by releasing
the magazine and removing them by hand (see Releasing Magazines on
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 55
Unloading Tape Drives on
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Working With Partitions
page 148). If you do this, be sure to only remove cartridges assigned to that partition (see Viewing the Library Configuration Report on page 220).
After a partition is deleted, its resources (for example, tape drives and slots) become available and can be reassigned to new or existing partitions.
Deleting a partition does not delete users assigned to that partition. However, if these users are not assigned to other partitions, they will not be able to perform any library operations. For information on how to assign a user to another partition, see
Changing Access to Partitions on
page 57.
Note: You may need to modify settings in your host application as a
result of deleting a partition. See your host application documentation.

Taking a Partition Online or Offline

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 57
There are two partition modes: online and offline.
Online — SCSI hosts control the partition. In this mode, all host application SCSI commands are processed.
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Working With Partitions
Offline — SCSI hosts cannot control the partition. In this mode, library operations can be performed via the local or remote user interface.
Changing the partition mode changes whether or not the specified partition is online or offline to the host application. Changing a partition mode using the library interface may affect your host application. See your host application documentation for more information.
Note: The library automatically turns partitions offline when
performing certain operations, and turns them back online again when the operation successfully completes. If the operation fails, the partitions will remain offline until you manually turn them back online again. Evaluate the issue to determine if and when the partitions need to be brought online again. When you are ready to bring the partitions back online, you must do so manually (from the Web client, select
Operations > Partitions > Change Mode).
Note: Some maintenance activities require that the entire library be
taken offline. To take the library offline, change the mode of all partitions from online to offline.
When you are changing the partition mode, be aware of the following:
• When you access the Change Partition Mode screen, you will see only partitions to which you have been given access.
• When changing the partition mode from online to offline, all host application commands in progress at the start of the mode change are completed.
You can change partition modes from the operator panel or the Web client.

Configuring Cleaning Slots
Cleaning slots are used exclusively to store cleaning cartridges. Configuring one or more cleaning slots enables the library’s AutoClean feature for all partitions in the library. When AutoClean is enabled, the library is notified by a tape drive when cleaning is required, and the library automatically cleans the tape drive using a cartridge from a cleaning slot.
You can configure cleaning slots during the initial library configuration or at any time in the future as long as there are licensed slots available in the library.
If no licensed slots are available, you must purchase additional slots or modify or delete a partition to free existing slots (see
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 59
Working With
Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Configuring Cleaning Slots
Partitions on page 49). Cleaning slots are not assigned to specific
partitions. They are shared by all partitions within a library.
A maximum of four cleaning slots can be configured. Zero cleaning slots are configured by default.
The drive cleaning interval, or number of motion hours between drive cleanings, can also be configured. If no interval is set:
• The drive will not be cleaned in regular intervals.
• The drive will be cleaned when the drive issues a Tape Alert indicating the drive needs to be cleaned.
• The drive will be cleaned when a manual cleaning is performed.
Automatic Cleaning intervals vary based on the manufacturer of the drive:
• If AutoClean is enabled for HP drives, you must specify a cleaning interval to ensure the drives are cleaned. Cleaning intervals are specified in motion hours, which is the time in hours that the tape moves over the drive head. HP LTO-4 drives will be cleaned every 100 hours, and HP LTO-5 and higher drives can be cleaned in specified longer intervals.
• If AutoClean is enabled for IBM drives, the drives will continue to clean at intervals that are determined by the drive. The selected cleaning interval does not apply to IBM drives.
Cleaning slots do not need to be configured if you clean tape drives manually. For more information about manual tape drive cleaning, see
Manually Cleaning Tape Drives on page 170. In addition, you do not
need to configure cleaning slots if you use host-based cleaning. Cleaning slots are not visible to the host application. To use host-based cleaning, configure zero cleaning slots in the library and set up your host application to manage the cleaning process. See your host application documentation for more information.
Note: If you decrease the number of cleaning slots from what is
currently configured, the extra slots become unassigned and available to use as storage slots in new or existing partitions. For information on how to assign available storage slots, see
Manually Creating Partitions on page 52, and Modifying Partitions on page 55.

Note: If the library contains zero import/export (I/E) station slots, you
will not be able to import or export cleaning cartridges. See
Configuring I/E Station Slots on page 62 for more information.
Note: The AutoClean or manual cleaning feature on the library
assumes that any tape cartridge imported into a cleaning slot is a cleaning tape cartridge, regardless of the label on the cartridge or type of cartridge. In order for a cleaning cartridge to be recognized by the library as such, it must be imported into the library cleaning slot(s). Be sure to label and import cleaning cartridges appropriately. See

Configuring I/E Station Slots

I/E station slots are used to import and export tape cartridges into and out of the library without disrupting normal library operations.
I/E station slots can be configured as either I/E station slots or storage slots. I/E station slots are used to import and export cartridges and are shared by all partitions. Storage slots are used to store data cartridges and cleaning cartridges and are assigned to a single partition.
An I/E station that has been configured for storage may contain cleaning slots. These cleaning slots must be deleted before you can reconfigure the storage slots as I/E station slots. You can view the Library Configuration Report to determine how I/E slots are configured. For more information, see page 220. For instructions on deleting cleaning slots, see Configuring
Cleaning Slots on page 59.
Viewing the Library Configuration Report on
You cannot configure I/E station slots if cartridges are currently loaded in the I/E station(s). Remove all cartridges from the I/E station(s) before attempting the following procedure.
Each I/E station is configured as a complete unit. When configuring an I/E station, all the slots in the I/E station are configured the same way. The Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 are configured with 5 I/E station slots by default.
On the Scalar i40, you can configure 0, 5, or 20 I/E station slots. Configured I/E station slots are located in the right magazine—for 5, the right front 5 are configured. On the Scalar i80, you can configure 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, or 40 I/E station slots. The table below lists slots that will be configured based on setting selected.

You can configure zero I/E station slots. However, configuring zero I/E station slots has the following consequences:
• You cannot import and export data or cleaning cartridges using I/E stations.
• You cannot manually clean tape drives with a cleaning cartridge using the operator panel.
• You will need to bulk load and bulk unload cartridges, disrupting library operations (see
Bulk Loading Tape Cartridges on page 155).
Note: Before using the I/E station to load and unload cartridges, you
need to unlock the I/E station, which allows you to slide the magazine out just far enough to access the I/E station slots (see
Unlocking and Opening the I/E Station on page 145).
Caution: If the I/E station area needs to be reconfigured, consider
the affected I/E area slots, as well as any affected partition storage slots to ensure:
- tape cartridges are not present in any storage slots that will be included in the new I/E area configuration, and
- tape cartridges are not present when excluded from an I/E area configuration.

Table 5 Fibre Channel Tape Drive Configurable Settings
Setting Description
Loop ID A unique loop ID is selected by default for all FC tape
drives installed in the library. For example, the tape drive installed in the top drive bay is assigned a default loop ID of 61. The tape drive installed in the bottom drive bay is assigned a default loop ID of 63.
If you change the default loop IDs, make sure each FC tape drive with a topology setting of Auto (LN), Loop (L), or Auto (NL) has a unique loop ID.
Requested To pol og y *
The requested topology connection mode can be set to one of the following:
• Auto (LN) — Auto-configure trying L-Port first
• Loop (L) — Force L-Port
• Point to Point — Force N-Port
• Auto (NL) — Auto-configure trying N-Port first (default)
Requested Speed*
The requested interface speed can be set to Auto (Auto-negotiate — default), 1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, or 8 Gb/s, depending on the tape drive. For example, LTO-4 drives will not support speeds faster than 4 GB/s, and LTO-6 tape drives will not support speeds less than 2 Gb/s. .
* Auto tries to use the most appropriate/fastest drive settings. On the Web client, the Setup - Drive Settings screen displays both the requested and the actual FC topology connection mode and interface speed. If FC drives are not connected to the host, the negotiated actual settings appear on the screen as “unknown.”
