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.

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

Diagnostic Tickets on page 244 for more informa-

tion.

Power-on LED Indicates whether library power is on or off. See

Front Panel LEDs on page 252 for more information.

Power button Turns the library on or off.

Turning off the library using the power button turns off th

e robot and operator panel, but power still

runs to the power supplies. See

Shutting Down, Restarting, Turning Off, and Removing Power on

page 103 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 ba

rcode 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.

Tape cartridges cannot have duplicate barcode labels. This bar

code 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 10,

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 56.

The library will run if one or more magazi

nes 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

formation, see

For information on removing and replacing magazines, see

Releasing Magazines on page 111.

Removing

and Replacing a Magazine on page 213.

Magazine Slot Location Coordinates

Each slot in the installed magazine is numbered with location coordinates. The library location coordinate contains three digits as follows: [Magazine],[Column],[Slot]. Figure magazines and list all of the location coordinates.

• Ma

gazine — 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.

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 usin

g 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 Figure

5 on page 9).

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 in

stalled 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:

• Power supply

• AC power cord

The power supply has one status LED. For more information, see

Power

Supply LED on page 256.

For information on removing and replacing power supplies, see

Removing and Installing a Power Supply on page 218.

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

processor. 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 rar the IP address of the port if it conflicts with your library IP address

System Control

Board LEDs on page 253.

For information on removing and replacing the SCB, see

Removing and

Replacing the System Control Board on page 221.

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

See Appendix supported by the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries.

The library supports mixing different tape drive types within and within partitions. For information on how to do this, see

With Partitions on page 45.

Tape drives are installed into tape drive slots in the rear of the library. If a tape drive

Installed Tape Drive Location Coordinates

Installed tape drives have a two-digit location coordinate. These are the coordinates shown in the library configuration report. The first digit is always zero. The second digit indicates the location of the tape drive relative to the other tape drives. The bottommost tape drive has location coordinates [0,1], the next-to-bottom has location coordinates [0,2], and so on.

Chapter 1: Description 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 about the operator panel and the Web client.

3, Understanding the User Interface for more information

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

ctions. If one of the resources is not available due to a failure or other

se 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

Privilege Levels on page 73 and Creating Local User

Control Path Modification

partitions (see

Accounts on the Web Client on page 74).

For more information on partitions, see page 45.

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

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

For information on how to obtain and install a license key, see Adding or

Upgrading Licensable Features on page 61.

Capacity on Demand (COD)

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 11

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 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 magazine column going clockwise). You can buy a COD license to activate the remaining 30 slots.

Advanced Reporting Advanced Reporting provides the following reports that you can

configure for viewing and analysis:

•

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.

For information on how to use the advanced reporting capabilities, see

Using Advanced Reporting on page 151.

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.

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

brary. Some functionality is only available through the Web client, and

li 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.

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.

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 9). 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 (-).

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.

Working With Partitions

Chapter 4: Configuring the Library

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.

There are two ways to create partitions:

• Automatically — Library reso among the partitions. Tape drives are grouped according to their interface type (Fibre Channel or SAS) and media generation (LTO-4, LTO-5). 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

• Manually — An administrator can create partitions one at a time. Cre

ating 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

Chapter 4: Configuring the Library Working With Partitions

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 50.

When a partition is no longer needed, it can be deleted. For information on

deleting partitions, see

Deleting Partitions on page 51.

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 53.

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) and media generation (LTO-4, LTO-5).

• 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 lib

rary.

• The minimum number of partitions is one (the minimum may be hi

gher when automatically creating partitions; see

Automatically

Creating Partitions on page 46 for details).

• Import/export (I/E) station slots are shared between all partitions. P

artitions 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) and media generation (LTO-4, LTO-5).

The library must contain at least one unassigned tape drive and one unassigned slot to autom

atically 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 50 and Deleting Partitions on page 51.

You can select the number of partitions to create. The maximum nu

mber 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) — 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.

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 cleaning cartridge.

Configuring Cleaning Slots

You can configure cleaning slots durin 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

partitions. They are shared by all partitions within a library.

A maximum of four cleaning slots can be configured. Zero cleaning slots are

For security purposes, an administrator can prevent a service user from logging on to the library remotely, from either the Web client or over the Ethernet service port. The service user will still be able to log in to the library from the operator panel interface. For more information, see

Remote Service Login on page 94.

During or after the initial configuration, you can use the default administrator account to create additional local user accounts, including other accounts with administrator privileges. These administrators can themselves create other local administrator and user accounts. Users without administrator privileges cannot create user accounts. The library can contain a total of eighteen user/administrator accounts, including the default administrator account.
