Chapter 1

Overview 1

This chapter provides an overview of the L25 and L100 libraries and their features.

Library Capacity 1

L25 Library 1

L100 Library 1

Sun StorEdge™ L25 Tape Library and Sun StorEdge™ L100 Tape Library User’s Guide 1
The L25 library can contain up to two tape drives and up 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 L100 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
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 L25 and L100 library modules come configured for HVD 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).

Library Scalability 1

The L25 and L100 library modules can be used as stand-alone libraries, or can be combined with other L25 and L100 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 L25 library modules. Table 2 capacities of all the sizes of multiple library stack you can create using L100 library modules. You can obtain different capacities by combining L25 and L100 library modules in a multiple library stack.

Feature Description
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
on
• The red LED lights when there is a library error.
• Both LEDs flash when there is a library fault that requires operator attention.
Magazine
These doors protect the data cartridge magazines.

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 L25 has one fixed cartridge slot behind the left magazine. The L100 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.

Basic Operations 2

This chapter introduces the library GUI screens and explains how to use them to perform the following basic library operations:
• Viewing library information (see Using the Quick View Menu
Screen on page 19)
• Moving tape cartridges within the library (see Moving Tape
Cartridges on page 26)
• Using the mailbox (see Using the Mailbox
• Removing the tape cartridge magazines (see Removing the
Magazines on page 38)
• View library, drive and SCSI statistics (see Viewing Statistics page 45)
• Viewing the configuration of the entire library and stack, if the library is part of a multiple library stack (see Viewing the Stack
Configuration on page 50)

Chapter 2 Basic Operations Introduction

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:
• L25 stand-alone library
• L25 library in a multiple library stack
• L100 library
If the library is a stand-alone L25, the main screen appears as shown in figure 7
