Product Overview

This chapter provides an overview of T9x40 tape drives.

■ Descriptions

The T9x40 tape drives are small, modular, high-performance drives designed for the enterprise and client-server environments. There are four generations of T9840 accesscentric drives and two generations of T9940 high-capacity drives.

T9840 Tape Drive

The T9840 tape drives (Figure 1-1) provide applications with high data throughput and fast recall. T9840 tape drives read/write dual-reel cartridges (see “9840 Cartridge

Description” on page 1-13, for more information about 9840 cartridges). The dual-reel

cartridge loads to midpoint, which eliminates tape threading time, and minimizes first-file access time (see

• T9840A/B tape drives read/write 20-GigaByte (GB) dual-reel cartridges.

Table A-2 on page A-2).

• T9840C tape drive is an enhanced version for 40-GB recording, using partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) format.

• T9840D encryption-capable drive provides 75-GB recording when using block sizes between 32 KB and 256 KB. With drive code level 1.44.x04 and Key Management System (2.1), the drive complies with FIPS Level 1. Level 1 is the lowest classification and has production-grade requirements.

Descriptions

The T9840B/C/D rear panel has a Maintenance Port (standard RJ45 receptacle) for Service Delivery Platform (SDP) and/or Customer Service Engineering (CSE) interface.

The T9840D maintenance port supports the use of the Virtual Operator Panel to perform drive operations, retrieve error information, and configure the tape drive. VOP version 1.0.13 in conjunction with the appropriate drive code level supports the use of an IPv6 address.

T9840 tape drives are also capable of reading/writing specially designated, write-only (VolSafe) cartridges, which provide a non-erasable, non-rewritable storage solution for important data. See

T9940 Tape Drive

The T9940 tape drives (Figure 1-2) are capacity-centric for data-intensive applications. The T9940A tape drive reads/writes 60-GB, single-reel cartridges (see “9940 Cartridge

Description” on page 1-16, for more information about 9940 cartridges). The T9940B

tape drive is an enhanced version for 200-GB recording, using PRML format, better performance, (see C/D tape drives, the T9940B tape drive rear panel has a RJ45 Maintenance Port that uses TCP/IP for SDP and/or CSE interface.

“T9x40 VolSafe” on page 1-3 for additional information.

Table A-14 on page A-13), and better serviceability. Like the T9840B/

The T9940 tape drive is approximately 140 mm (5.5 in.) longer than the T9840 tape drive. The increased length is due to the tape path mechanism being inside the tape drive. The increased length also requires additional mounting space available for installation.

T9940B tape drives are also capable of reading/writing specially designated, write-only (VolSafe) cartridges, which provide a non-erasable, non-rewritable storage solution for important data. See

T9x40 VolSafe

T9x40 VolSafe capability is a combination of hardware (VolSafe enabled tape drives), microcode, and special media (VolSafe cartridges). This combination provides writeonce, read-many (WORM) functionality to safeguard selected data files. Once written to a VolSafe cartridge, data cannot be over-written or erased. New data can be added (appended) to a density-compatible VolSafe cartridge until the cartridge is full.

VolSafe cartridges have a magnetic signature in the Media Information Region (MIR), distinct machine readable features, and are visually identified by colored labels and writeprotect switches. See

Description” on page 1-16 for more information on VolSafe cartridge identification

features.

Write

To write to a VolSafe cartridge, a T9x40 tape drive must have compatible data density with the specific VolSafe cartridge, and the drive must be VolSafe-enabled. For instance,

• T9840A/B drives write to 20-GB 9840 VolSafe cartridges only (yellow identification)

• T9840C drives write to 40-GB 9840C VolSafe cartridges only (green identification)

• T9840D drives write to 75-GB 9840D VolSafe cartridges only (purple identification)

Descriptions

“9840 Cartridge Description” on page 1-13 or “9940 Cartridge

Note: See “9840 Cartridge Description” on page 1-13, for VolSafe cartridge

identification

• T9940B tape drives write to 200-GB 9940B VolSafe cartridges only (see “9940

Cartridge Description” on page 1-16, for VolSafe cartridge identification)

The specific tape drive’s VolSafe configuration setting must also be enabled (indicated by Ready A, when a compatible VolSafe cartridge is loaded).

Read

To read VolSafe cartridges, a T9x40 tape drive only needs to be density-compatible, the tape drive VolSafe configuration setting need not be enabled. The tape drive recognizes VolSafe cartridges as file-protected (Ready F), regardless of the write-protect switch position. For instance, the T9840C tape drive reads 40-GB 9840C VolSafe cartridges and 20-GB 9840 VolSafe cartridges, but T9840A/B tape drives only read 20-GB 9840 VolSafe cartridges.

Drive - VolSafe Cartridge Compatibility

A 20-GB 9840 VolSafe cartridge, loaded in a T9840C or T9840D tape drive is recognized as file-protected (Ready F), regardless of the cartridge write-protect switch position, and whether the tape drive is VolSafe enabled or not. Therefore, a T9840C or T9840D tape drive reads a 20-GB 9840 VolSafe cartridge, but cannot write to it, even if the tape drive is VolSafe enabled.

Attempts to load a 40-GB 9840C VolSafe cartridge into a T9840A/B tape drive, a 75-GB 9840D VolSafe cartridge into a T9840A/B/C tape drive, or a 200-GB 9940B VolSafe cartridge into a T9940A tape drive results in a load error condition.

MT5003 Revision AF 1-5

Configurations

• L700/L1400 Tape Library: Up to 12 tape drives

• L5510 LSM (L5500 ACS): Up to 77 tape drives in four 20-drive walls

• Sun StorageTek™ SL8500 modular library system (T9940B only): Up to 64 tape drives

Notes:

1. See “Related Publications” on page xiv, for ordering information for the StorageTek libraries that accept the T9x40 tape drive, including drive cabinet and minimum software requirements, refer to the system assurance guide for the appropriate library.

2. In the L5500 ACS, the total number of mixed drives, including the Linear Tape Open (LTO) Ultrium tape drives attached to one L5510 LSM is 80 tape drives. The PLM unit, required for LTO drives, blocks three T9x40 power supply slots; therefore, in a mixed 20-drive cabinet, a maximum of 17 tape drive slots are available for T9x40 tape drives.

Additional drive cabinets would also be limited to a maximum 17 slots for T9x40 tape drives, when a PLM is present. However, if the serial TTI (Tape Transport Interface) cable was installed in place of the PLM unit, a second cabinet could have all 20 tape drive slots available for T9x40 tape drives.

Desktop T9840

The desktop configuration of T9840A/B tape drives consist of one manual-load drive and one power supply in a desktop chassis. The T9840A drive can also be contained in a Cartridge Scratch Loader (CSL) desktop chassis.

The operator loads a data cartridge by manually inserting it into the drive loading slot; and, unloads a data cartridge by pressing the from the drive loading slot.

With the T9840A desktop CSL chassis, the operator stacks up to seven data cartridges in the CSL mechanism; the mechanism then loads and unloads the cartridges sequentially. Also, operators can manually load/unload a single data cartridge through the loading slot.

Rack Mount

The rack mount T9840 drive tray chassis mounts into a 483-mm (19-in.) rack cabinet. The chassis consists of single/dual manual-load tape drives. The T9840A drive can also be configured in a rack mount CSL chassis. Each tray can hold:

While an L5510 LSM could theoretically have up to 77 tape drive slots available for T9x40 tape drives, it will most likely be less. For instance, if four drive cabinets were attached, each with a PLM unit installed, there would be a maximum of 68 drive slots (4 X 17) available for T9x40 tape drives.

The total number of drive cabinets and total mix of T9x40 and LTO tape drives is determined by the site parameters for each library installation.

Unload switch, then manually removing it

• One manual-load drive in position A (T9840A/B/C/D)

• Two manual-load drives, side-by-side, positions A and B (T9840A/B/C/D)

1-6 Revision AF MT5003

Configurations

• One CSL chassis (one T9840A drive only)

The rack mount configuration of the T9940 tape drive consists of two manual-load tape drives mounted on a shock absorbing platform in a rack mount tray.

Rack Cabinets

The rack mount configurations of the T9x40 tape drives are designed to fit into a standard 483-mm (19-in.) rack cabinet (such as the SL-RACK-42-Z). If the customer supplies the rack cabinet, make sure that the cabinet is at least 780 mm (30.75 in.) deep.

“Rack Cabinets” on page A-7 for physical specifications and floor space

See requirements. You can mount:

• Up to six T9840 drive trays in any combination of one drive, two drive, or CSL configurations in a single rack cabinet.

• Up to four T9940 rack mount drive trays in single rack cabinet.

• T9940 rack mount trays in combination with T9840 and/or T10000 rack mount trays within the same rack cabinet. Therefore, the tray totals are limited to the following combinations:

Drive type: T9940

T9840 or T10000

11 to 4

Drive trays:

21 to 3

1. Each T9940 drive tray is 6U (266.7 mm / 10.5 in.)

2. Each T9840 or T10000 drive tray is 4U (177.8 mm / 7.0 in.)

Note: The total vertical space cannot exceed 24U (1066.8 mm / 42.0 in.).

To supply power to rack mount drive trays in a rack cabinet, you must order one internal AC power cord per drive tray to connect to a power strip mounted in the cabinet.

Other supported racks:

• CBNT42U is a fully ROHS-compliant, basic 19-inch rack cabinet

• StorageTek RACK001 is a 19-inch 35U rack cabinet, but it is not ROHS compliant Note: If you are installing more than four drive trays in the RACK001, a second

power strip and power cord (compatible to the site’s AC power source) are required.

• The T9840C/D and T9940B tape drives use small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers with LC type ports and operate on a 2-Gb channel. The drives support the use of short or long wavelength SFP modules.

1-10 Revision AF MT5003

FICON

Interfaces

See “Fibre Channel and FICON Cable Facts” on page 1-12 for information on types of fiber-optic cable and maximum cable lengths.

The FC interface for the T9x40 uses Ultra-SCSI protocol. The FC T9x40 tape drives connect to other devices with the following equipment:

• A hub that connects FC devices to each other in a loop

• A switch that connects FC devices to each other in a fabric

The drive supports connection of both ports, in accordance with ANSI Fibre Channel specifications (ref. InterNational Committee on Information Technology Standards [INCITS} documents: SCSI Primary Commands -3, Section 5.6, and Fibre Channel Protocol -3).

Note: The drive will support two hosts, providing that both hosts honor the “reserve/

release” and/or the “persistent reserve/release” specifications.

Fibre Connection (FICON) is a proprietary IBM channel for the zSeries 900 and the S/ 390 9672 G5/G6 processors. T9x40 FICON tape drives can be configured with a singleport, short or long wave transceiver; dual-port, short or long wave transceivers; or dualport, mixed wave (one short wave and one long wave transceiver), using standard FC infrastructure and cables.

The benefits of a FICON channel include greater bandwidth, more logical paths, more devices per channel, and greater distance.

• A total of 256 logical paths are possible. On dual-port tape drives, the 256 total logical paths can be unevenly split between Port A and Port B.

• Approximately six T9x40 FICON tape drives, concurrently reading/writing large (64-KB) blocks, can be attached to a single channel.

• Approximately sixteen T9x40 FICON tape drives, concurrently reading/writing small (16-KB) blocks, can be attached to a single channel.

T9x40 FICON drives use small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers.

Note: The drive will support two hosts, providing that both hosts honor the “reserve/

release” and/or the “persistent reserve/release” specifications.

Hardware Configuration Definition

Once you have installed FICON drives, you need to set the hardware configuration definition (HCD) for each drive. Go to the White Papers section of the SE Tools website

at http://xmen.east.sun.com/setools/aaaNotForCD/Papers/WhitePapers.htm, then select the appropriate drive article for HCD information and guidelines.

Fibre Channel and FICON Cable Facts

T9x40 Fibre Channel and FICON tape drives use Fibre Channel cables.

Use multimode cables when connecting to short wave ports. Multimode cables have an orange jacket, and the fiber within the cable is 50

Use single mode cables when connecting to long wave ports. Single mode cables have a yellow jacket, a blue LC connector, and the fiber within the cable is 9 microns in diameter.

to 12

The SCSI-configured T9840A/B and T9940A tape drives have two connectors to attach 68-conductor SCSI P-cables. SCSI enables devices to be connected either directly, in a daisy-chain configuration, or in a combination of direct and daisy-chain configurations. Two connectors facilitate daisy-chaining tape drives. The following SCSI equipment may also be required:

• A terminator that connects to the last device in a SCSI daisy chain

• A bridge that connects SCSI devices to an FC network

A maximum of two daisy-chained devices are possible, with the total SCSI cable length of no more than 25 meters (82 feet).

Note: SCSI interface T9x40 Tape Dives are only available as used equipment.

SCSI on the T9x40 is either differential, wide ultra, or a lesser implementation. The T9x40 tape drive does not supply terminator power; therefore, the host bus adaptor (HBA) card must supply SCSI terminator power.

■ Mixed-Media Management

Extra media management measures must be taken whenever T9x40 tape drives and data cartridges of mixed data density, or mixed Emulation images co-exist in the same library system.

The extra measures essentially involve creation and management of separate media pools/sub-pools for formatted/written 9x40 data cartridges. Guidelines for creation and maintenance of media pools/sub-pools are located in ACSLS, HSC, and independent software vender (ISV) documentation sets.

Mixed Data Density

Since all T9840 tape drive models use the same 9840 data cartridge, and both T9940 tape drive models use the same 9940 data cartridge, extra media management measures must be taken because low density tape drives (T9840A/B and T9940A) cannot read data from a data cartridge written in the high-density format by T9840C, T9840D, and T9940B tape drives. The low density tape drives must also have an appropriate drive firmware level to even identify a high-density data cartridge:

• T9840A

- R1.33.103 or higher to identify a cartridge written by a T9840C drive

- R1.41.104 or higher to identify a cartridge written by aT9840D drive

• T9840B

- R1.33.303 or higher to identify a cartridge written by a T9840C drive

- R1.41.304 or higher to identify a cartridge written by aT9840D drive

• T9840C: R1.41.504 or higher to identify a cartridge written by a T9940D drive

• T9940A: R1.32.215 or higher to identify a cartridge written by a T9940B drive

Mixed-Media Management

CAUTION: Data Loss. A low-density tape drive, without the appropriate firmware level, would consider a high-density format cartridge blank and available for scratch or would overwrite data if a write command is issued with the tape positioned at block zero. Use media pools/sub-pools and the

appropriate drive firmware level.

The high-density tape drives can read data from a cartridge written by low-density format tape drives. However, the high-density tape drive can not append data to a low-density data cartridge. An attempt to append a low-density data cartridge on a high-density tape drive will fail, with sense byte data indicating an error, similar to that of a file-protected data cartridge.

Note: For additional information about mixed-media management refer to “Cross-

Density MIR Processing” in the T9840 Tape Drive User’s Reference Manual, PN 85739 and the T9940 Tape Drive Operator’s Guide, PN 95989.

Library Firmware/Host Software

When you are adding new/used T9x40 tape drive models to existing libraries, you must verify that library firmware level and host software release levels support the new drive models.

■ Library Firmware

For library configurations, determine the customer’s existing library firmware level, and compare it with the currently available library firmware:

Update library firmware as required to support incoming drive models.

■ Host Software Configuration

This section lists the host software that uses T9x40 tape drives and provides a place to record the customer’s software configuration.

The T9x40 tape drives operate with MVS, UNIX, or Windows NT platforms. Certification with these platforms and host-based applications is an ongoing process. For up-to-date information about platforms and applications:

• Sun personnel should access the storage software area of MySales (http://mysales.central/public/storage/storage-software.html).

• Other persons should contact their storage software marketing representative.

T9x40-Supported Software

Depending upon the host platform and the type of interface, T9x40 tape drives are subject to one the following software application groups:

• Nearline Control Solutions (NCS), which includes:

- Host Software Component (HSC)

Note: In HSC, implementation of VolSafe requires definition of esoteric names

and cartridge tape subpools. Refer to the VolSafe Feature Software Information Guide, Release 2.0 PN 316109301.

Information for Ordering

Use this chapter to help order tape drives, cables, and media for the T9x40 tape drive. If you have answers to the following questions, the task of locating the pertinent part number becomes much easier:

What tape drive model is required? ❑ T9840D

❑ T9840C (used equipment only) ❑ T9840B (used equipment only) ❑ T9840A (used equipment only) ❑ T9940B (used equipment only) ❑ T9940A (used equipment only)

What host interface is used?

Number of FICON or Fibre Channel interface

ports

Type of interface transceiver

Will the drive be connected to a library? If yes, which model?

1. ESCON and SCSI drives have one port only.

2. Long wavelength ports require single-mode (9 micron fiber) cables.

3. Short wavelength ports require multimode cables.

4. Older model libraries are not listed.

The part numbers are composed of many of the elements listed in the table above. For example, the part number 9840D-FISPSW-85Z is comprised of:

• 9840D that indicates the tape drive model number

• FI indicates a FICON interface

• SPSW indicates the drive has a single port (SP) that is short wavelength (SW)

• 85 indicates the library model (SL8500)

• Z indicates that the drive complies with ROHS requirements

such a designation. You must order a Conversion Bill to obtain the appropriate number and type of transceiver.

Use these tables to determine the part numbers

• “Tape Drive Order Numbers for Libraries” on page 5-3

• “Desktop and Rack Mount Tape Drive” on page 5-12

• “Cable Order Numbers” on page 5-17

• “Conversion Bills/Kits” on page 5-25

• “Ordering Cartridges and Labels” on page 5-29

Use conversion bills to obtain the necessary parts to:

• Add a second drive to a rack chassis

• Add a second interface port to drive models that use SFP modules

• Change the type of SFP module in the drive

• Transfer a drive from one library model to a different library model

Note: The following figure shows three different drive trays. If you purchased drives for

a 9310 library (the image on the left) but you upgrade to an SL8500 library, use a conversion bill to modify your existing drive to work in the new library (the image on the right).

Rack Cabinet Order Numbers

You can use either the ROHS-compliant 42U (CBNT42U) basic 19-inch rack cabinet or the older non-ROHS 35U rack cabinet (StorageTek RACK001) to house rack-mount trays for all generations of T9x40 drives.

The ROHS-compliant 42U rack cabinet ships with two built-in power strips, two North American compatible power cords, and two European compatible power cords.

If you are installing more than four drive trays into the RACK001 (35U cabinet), it is required to have a second power strip and a second external AC power cord compatible to the site AC power source. To add a second power strip to a previously installed older

cabinet, use the second power strip upgrade conversion bill, and include an external

35U AC power cord, compatible to the site AC power source.

Note: See “Power Cords” on page 1-9 for a description of the available power cords.

fabric The FC topology that is similar to a

telephone switch in that the initiator of a “call” to the receiving port simply provides the receiver with the port address, and the fabric routes the transmission to the proper port. A fabric differs from a point-to-point or arbitrated loop topology in that it provides for interconnections between ports without having a point-to-point connection. The fabric also serves as a media type converter.

FC See Fibre Channel

FIB Format identifier block. A FIB is required to

identify tapes written by a T9840C or T9840D tape drive. The T9840C has a unique FIB, and the T9840D has a unique FIB. Earlier generation drives detect the FIB (T9840A/B identify the FIB for tapes written by either a T9840C or T9840D while the T9840C detects the FIB for tapes written by a T9840D).

fiber optics The branch of optical technology concerned with the transmission of radiant power through fibers made of transparent materials such as glass, fused silica, and plastic. (E)

Fibre Channel (FC) The ANSI standard that defines an ultra high-speed, content independent, multi-level data transmission interface that can support multiple protocols simultaneously, support connectivity to millions of devices over copper and/or fiber optic physical media, and provides the best characteristics of both networks and channels, over diverse topologies.
