1Introduction

The Quantum TC2201E iSCSI router provides bi-directional connectivity between two iSCSI networks, and two Narrow/Wide Fast/Ultra160 LVD/SE SCSI buses.
Supported devices include:
Initiator Devices – iSCSI hosts
Direct Access Devices – RAID controllers, Disk drives, JBODs
Sequential Access Devices – Tape drives
Changer Devices – Tape and Magneto-Optical libraries

External Features1 Figure 1 and figure 2 show the front and back panels of the Quantum

Besides the air-exhaust vents, SCSI and iSCSI interfaces are found on the back panel. Also on the back panel, Ethernet and Serial ports provide connections for configuration and management of the unit. The LEDs (operation indicators) provide basic status information. In addition, a power connector and power switch are located on the back panel along with a Reset Button that is used to manually force a reboot of the TC2201E. For proper operation of the TC2201E, cable connections on the back panel should remain securely in place.

Operation Indicators 1

The TC2201E is equipped with rear panel LED indicators for monitoring overall unit status (see
2 Quantum TC2201E User’s Guide
figure 3).

iSCSI Activity
Ethernet Link Status
iSCSI Link Status
SCSI Activity for Bus 0 SCSI Activity for Bus 1
The LED functionality of the TC2201E is detailed below:
Power and Fault (Pwr)—This bi-color LED is green to show that power is currently active and is continuously amber-colored to show that the TC2201E detects a fault condition in the TC2201E.
iSCSI (Link/Act)—When lit green, the right indicator signifies a good iSCSI link on the port. When lit green, the left indicator signifies iSCSI port activity.
SCSI Bus (0, 1)—When lit, these green indicators signify SCSI activity on the bus corresponding to the number of the indicator.
Ethernet (Link/Act)—When lit green, the right indicator signifies a good Ethernet link on this management port. When lit green, the left indicator signifies Ethernet port activity on this management port.
How the TC2201E Works 1
The TC2201E is a router that translates the iSCSI protocol to and from the SCSI Protocol—transparently transferring commands, data, and status information—so that devices and hosts can communicate with each other. Interconnection is provided between two SCSI buses and one or two iSCSI networks, also making use of iSCSI’s ability to encapsulate SCSI protocol packets.

Chapter 1 Introduction Processing SCSI Information
Figure 4 shows a host accessing SCSI tape drives and libraries via the
TC2201E.
Figure 4 Example Configuration

Processing SCSI Information 1

The following section describes how the TC2201E processes SCSI information when attached to iSCSI hosts. through 5 of the process.
1 A iSCSI host issues a command. The iSCSI host encapsulates the
command in the iSCSI protocol and sends the packet to the TC2201E.
2 The iSCSI controller in the TC2201E receives the packet, interprets the
iSCSI information, and places the packet in buffer memory.
3 The TC2201E’s processor interprets the information and programs a
SCSI controller to process the transaction.
4 The SCSI controller sends the command to the SCSI device (target). 5 The SCSI target interprets the command and executes it.

Chapter 1 Introduction LAN-free Backup and Restore

LAN-free Backup and Restore 1

LAN-free backup and restore moves the bulk of data backup and recovery traffic from the LAN and onto a dedicated storage network. The TC2201E supports LAN-free backup/restore environments (see
Figure 7 LAN-free backup
figure 7).

TC2201E Features 1

iSCSI Features 1 The TC2201E provides the following iSCSI features:

Dual iSCSI ports (10/100/1000 baseT Ethernet)
iSNS support
Error Recovery Level 0
Multiple iSCSI connections per session
VLAN Quality of Service (QoS) support

SCSI Bus Features

Chapter 1 Introduction

TC2201E Benefits

1 The TC2201E provides the following SCSI bus features:
Auto-negotiation for Narrow, Wide, Fast, and up to Ultra160
Concurrent commands, tagged command queuing and disconnect/ reconnect
SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 protocols
Connection type is VHDCI 68-pin D shell, P type connectors
LVD/single-ended termination
Fully supports Quantum tape libraries and autoloader devices

Management Features

The TC2201E provides the following management options:
1
Out-of-band 10/100 Ethernet TCP/IP management access Port
Serial 3-pin connector for terminal access
DHCP for easier network administration
Indexed and Auto Assigned addressing modes
Support for SCSI-3 Commands
Ethernet RJ-45 connector for FTP, command line, and web browser access
Field-updateable firmware
TC2201E Benefits 1
The Quantum TC2201E is designed to connect SCSI devices into an iSCSI network. The Quantum TC2201E is neatly packaged in a 1U form factor with two 1 Gb/s iSCSI ports and two LVD/SE SCSI buses. SCSI buses automatically negotiate for Fast, Narrow, Wide, and up to Ultra160 SCSI. External throughput is up to 200 MB/s bi-directional per iSCSI port (or 100 MB/s one way per iSCSI port), or up to a total of 400 MB/s bi-directional for both ports.

Chapter 1 Introduction TC2201E Benefits

Enterprise Class Performance

Ease of Use to Reduce SAN Management Costs and Complexity

Add Intelligence to SCSI Storage

1
1
The TC2201E offers enterprise class performance with memory buffer bandwidth exceeding 1 Gb/s and delivering end-to-end throughput of up to 400 MB/s bi-directional for both ports (or 200 MB/s each way for both ports together). The TC2201E performs fast tape reads and writes, which enables it to handle larger data sets while completing backup and restore tasks within a smaller timeframe.
The Quantum TC2201E is significantly easier to install than other routers due to the “store-and-forward” configuration feature and the Visual Manager (VM) software. “Store-and-forward” allows configuration files
1
and TC2201E operational settings to be saved and copied to other like routers, reducing redundant setup tasks. Using VM, service professionals and end users can configure a TC2201E with simple “point and click” choices on a graphical representation of the TC2201E.
The TC2201E has many features that provide intelligence to SCSI devices and help manage SAN configurations, performance and reliability. A short list includes Visual Manager, dynamic storage allocation (i.e. map activation without reboot), SCSI target reset, custom mapping, and access controls (LUN masking and management). These features of the TC2201E provide customers with a high level of storage functionality for high performance backup and recovery, reliability, security and manageability in their nearline storage solutions.
