1 Introduction

About NAStape®

The NAStape provides an interconnection that is easy to install, configure, and use.
Designed specifically for the needs of network-attached storage (NAS) environments,
the NAStape brings Ethernet (iSCSI) and NDMP connectivity to legacy SCSI tape drive
devices. It provides serial and Ethernet in-band management ports, and an easy-to-use
Web-based configuration utility. The NAStape 100 and NAStape 200 support only
single-ended or LVD SCSI tape drives.

Note: Neither NAStape 100 nor NAStape 200 will support high-voltage

differential (HVD) tape drives.

The NAStape 100 supports a single Sony AIT-2 drive or Sony AIT-3 drive, and the
NAStape 200 supports a single Quantum SDLT 320, HP LTO Ultrium, or IBM LTO-2
tape drive. Both the NAStape 100 and NAStape 200 provide the interconnectivity
required in today’s NAS environments.

Flexible Connectivity

Spectra Logic’s flexible connectivity uses an innovative approach to sharing tape
backup resources among hosts. It enables the NAStape to be connected to a storage
network using one of several protocols, including Network Data Management Protocol
(NDMP) and Internet SCSI (iSCSI).

The NAStape comes with a Gigabit Ethernet interface. It supports 10BaseT, 100BaseT,
and 1000BaseT network connectivity, and comes with iSCSI enabled (or you can
purchase the NDMP option).

The NAStape incorporates an in-band HTTP-based application for device configuration
and management.

Chapter 1. Introduction

iSCSI

The iSCSI standard, as ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in
February 2003, provides a guideline for supporting the various capabilities of the iSCSI
protocol. There are features that are specified by the governing organization to be
mandatory and other features that can be optional. Spectra Logic supports all required
features of the iSCSI specification for target devices.

Note: The required features for iSCSI could be changed by the iSCSI

governing organization.

NDMP

NDMP is an option that can be purchased and enabled for the i1000 (see the NDMP
product directory at www.ndmp.org/products/index.shtml
applications and NAS devices). The i1000 supports Version 2 and Version 3 of NDMP
(see www.ndmp.org

for more information about NDMP protocol versions).

for supported backup

Sharing Tape Devices

Both iSCSI and NDMP allow a set of tape resources to be shared between multiple
hosts.

Caution: Care must be taken to ensure that multiple requests are not

being sent to the same tape drive at the same time.

With NDMP, there is typically a backup application server that manages access to the
tape drives. Even though multiple NAS devices can access the tape device, these
requests are routed through a single backup server that is responsible for managing
access to the drives. As long as the devices and NAS clients are configured properly in
the software, resource contention is eliminated. Access to NDMP functionality is also
password protected—any host wishing to utilize the NAStape must authenticate
themselves with the correct username and password (set up in the backup software).

With iSCSI, there may be many backup applications on many hosts, all responsible for
managing their own access to the tape drives, and as the NAStape looks like a locally
attached resource to each configured host, each host has no idea that other hosts also
have access.

There are several ways to manage resource contention with iSCSI. First, the NAStape
drive will only be visible to hosts where the individual devices are installed. Next,
devices that are shared among multiple servers can be locked during use by a backup

10

Chapter 1. Introduction

application utilizing the SCSI Reserve and Release commands. When a device has been
locked, no other host can gain access to the drive until it is unlocked.

In any case, if multiple hosts will be accessing the NAStape, some access management
scheme must be implemented to prevent stored data written by one host from being
overwritten by another. Check with your software application for this compatibility.

2 Installing NAStape

This chapter covers the following information:

• Preparing for Installation

• Unpacking the NAStape

• Connecting the NAStape

Preparing for Installation

Before you install a NAStape unit, complete these steps:

• Identify the host that is to be associated with the unit, and its operating system.

• Determine how the NAStape is to be used with your backup software.

• If you will be using the Web-based configuration and management tools, you may
need to obtain an available IP address for the NAStape. NAStape comes with DHCP
and WINS enabled, however you will need to manually configure the IP address if
there is no DHCP server on the local network segment.

Proper Installation Environment

When planning the NAStape installation, note that the unit, the drive, and media must
be maintained in a controlled environment. Environmental extremes and large
quantities of airborne particulates can cause erratic operation of any peripheral,
including the NAStape unit. See Appendix A. Specifications for information on NAStape
operating specifications and tape drive operating specifications.

13

Chapter 2. Installing NAStape

Unpacking the NAStape

Before unpacking the NAStape, note that it is shipped with the following items:

• Quick Setup Guide

• CD-ROM, including firmware and User Guide (this guide)

• One media cartridge and one cleaning cartridge
(only for the NAStape 200 configured with and SDLT 320 drive)

•AC power cord

• Serial cable

Note: There is no Ethernet cable included.

Removing the NAStape from Its Packaging

To unpack the NAStape from its box, follow these steps.

1. Remove the NAStape unit and its foam protectors from the box (Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1 The NAStape with its foam supports inside the box.

This chapter describes how to configure your NAStape using an HTTP interface. This
includes Connecting to the HTTP Interface, as well as using the following screens
within the interface:

• Status

• Configuration

• Maintenance

• Security

• Logout

Connecting to the HTTP Interface

Note: The Ethernet port is assigned a default hostname of

SL<serial number>-0, where <serial number> is the serial number
of the NAStape (located on the rear panel of the NAStape). This
hostname may be changed to avoid duplicate hostnames.

Note: If you are having trouble bringing up the Web page with Internet

Explorer, be sure to check your HTTP proxy settings. To change
your settings:

i. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings >

Advanced.

ii. Add the IP address or hostname of the NAStape to the

Exceptions list.

1. Connect the NAStape to your network; DHCP can assign the IP address, subnet

mask, iSNS, gateway information, and WINS if configured to do so.

If the DHCP service is only supplying the IP address, you can fill in the rest of
the information through the HTTP or serial interface.
