Description
The Scalar i6000 library automates the retrieval, storage, and control of
cartridges. The cartridges are mounted and retrieved from tape drives
using a robotic assembly that is driven by application software from the
host without operator intervention. The library is designed for ease of
installation, configuration, and field upgrades.
In December, 2011, the library robotics were redesigned. The redesign
accommodates either a single robot or dual robotics. The original robot
hardware is referred to as Gen 1; the new robot hardware is referred to
as Gen 2.
For Gen2, dual-robot systems using i11, the two robots work in an
active/active manner, where both robots are available to perform all
move commands and operations. Also new for i11 is the availability of
High-Densisity Expansion Modules (HDEM) that allow for increased
media storage.
Dual robotics libraries require special modules on either end called
parking modules, which house the robots when not in use. See
Robot Configurations and Parking Modules on page 18 for more
information.
You can upgrade an existing single robotics library (Gen 1 or Gen 2) to a
Gen 2 dual-robotics library. See
page 83 for specific upgrade requirements. You can also upgrade a Gen
1 library to a Gen 2 library (see Gen 2 Single Robotics Upgrade
Requirements on page 84).

The library can be installed on a solid or a raised floor. The library has a
standard 19-inch rack footprint and can be placed in a standard server
rack space. Access is from doors located at the front and back so the
library can be placed with either side against a wall, or between racks.
You can tell which generation robot you have via the library user
interface. The library displays which generation of robot hardware is
installed. Select Monitor > System from the menu, click the Robot tab,
and look in the Generation column (see
Figure 1).
Additionally, the main screen of the library user interface displays how
many robots are installed (see
Figure 16 on page 37). If you do not see
this information displayed when viewing the physical library, you have a
Gen 1 robot.
In March of 2013, a High Density Expansion Module (HDEM) was made
available to provide increased storage capabilities. A single HDEM can
hold up to 720 total slots; 540 on two independent carrousels and 240
on the front door.
6 Scalar i6000 Planning Guide
Chapter 2: Description
The maximum library can be configured to accommodate from 100 LTO
cartridges to 7,146 LTO cartridges (for a single-robot library) or 7,224
LTO cartridges (for a dual-robot library). For libraries containing highdensity expansion modules, the maximum capacities are 12,006 LTO
cartridges (for a single-robot library) or 11,760 LTO cartridges (for dualrobot libraries).

Expansion Modules
Expansion modules enable the library to expand by adding space for
tape drives, an I/E station, and storage. Each expansion module up to
the seventh expansion module adds from 300 to 456 LTO cartridge slots
depending on the number of tape drives installed and whether an I/E
station is installed. See
Quantum offers three different expansion modules (EMs) used with the
Scalar i6000:
• Drive Ready Expansion Module (DREM): This module is required
• Storage Expansion Module (SEM): This module is used when

when drives will be installed into the module. It the power and
network components needed to support tape drives. The DREM
supports up to 12 tape drives and up to 456 cartridge slots, but the
slots are reduced when drives or an I/E station are installed in the
module.
drives will not be installed in the module and high-density is not
needed. While the SEM does not support drives, it can be field
upgraded to a DREM if drives are needed in the future. The SEM
supports up to 456 cartridge slots, but the slots are reduced when
an I/E station is installed in the module.
• High-Density Expansion Module (HDEM): This module is used
when it is important to minimize the floor space. The HDEM
supports up to 780 cartridge slots, but does not support drives. The
slots are reduced when an I/E station is installed in the module.
Note: When referencing expansion modules in all Scalar i2000/i6000
documentation it includes all three module types: drive,
storage and high-density. When referencing standard
expansion modules, it includes just the drive-ready and storage
expansion modules.
In Gen 1 single-robot configurations, the library’s maximum
configuration includes up to 11 expansion modules for a total of 12
frames. In Gen 2 single-robot configurations, the library’s maximum
configurations includes up to 15 expansion modules for a total of 16
frames. In Gen 2 dual-robot configurations, the library’s maximum
configuration includes up to 15 expansion modules for a total of 17
frames (including the LPM and CM). Expansion modules can be added

only to the right of the control module for all configurations and the
LPM is always to the left of the CM.
For Gen 2 dual-robot configurations that include HDEMs, the library’s
maximum configuration includes up to 14 HDEMs and a single standard
expansion module to serve as the right parking module. This is because
an HDEM cannot be used as a parking module.
For the i11 release, standard expansion modules in positions 9 through
16 are no longer restricted to storage-only. Now all standard expansion
modules can accommodate the following functional units:
• I/O Management Unit on page 24
• Control Management Blade on page 24
• Fibre Channel I/O Blades on page 25
• Ethernet Expansion Blades on page 25
• Robot on page 27
• Import/Export Station on page 27 (optional)
• Tape Drives and Media on page 28 (drives are optional)
• Magazines on page 30
• Cartridges on page 31
• Power System on page 32 (required only if drives are installed; if an
expansion module contains only cartridges, all power is derived
from the control module).

Dual-Robot Configurations and Parking Modules
Dual-Robot Configurations and Parking Modules
A dual-robotics library requires Gen 2 robotics hardware. A dual-robot
library requires, at a minimum, a control module, a left parking module,
and a right parking module. See
For a dual-robot library that includes an HDEM, it requires, at a
minimum, a left parking module (shipped with dual-robots), a control
module, an HDEM and a right parking module.
The left and right parking modules have the same size and appearance
as standard expansion modules, but they function differently. Each
parking module contains a “parking space” in which the respective left
or right robot resides when not in use. The parking space occupies four
magazine columns which cannot be used for storage.
The left parking module is located to the left of the control module in
position zero. It is referred to in the user interface as “module 0.” The
left parking module does not contain tape drives, I/E stations, or power
supplies. The control module supplies it’s power. If you are upgrading to
dual-robotics, you will receive a left parking module to add onto your
existing system. This increases your system size, so you must take this
into account when planning for an upgrade.
Figure 9.
The right parking module is a converted SEM or DREM and is the rightmost module in the system. As with standard expansion modules, in i11
the right parking module may contain drives, power supplies, and up to
one 24-slot I/E station no matter how may frames make up the library.
The only restrictions are that right parking modules may not contain a
72-slot I/E station and an HDEM cannot be used as a right parking
module.
If you are upgrading a single-robot library to a dual-robot library, the
existing right-most expansion module can, in most cases, be converted
into a right parking module. However, if the existing right-most
expansion module contains a 72-slot I/E station or is an HDEM, you will
need another module to be added to the right of your system which
becomes the right parking module. If space considerations prohibit the
addition of another module, then the right-most module will be
swapped with another module in the library that does not contain a
72-slot I/E station. For more information on upgrading an existing
library to dual robotics, see
page 83.
