Product Overview

Partitions

Partit

ions are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file management, access by multiple host applications.

Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual sections. If one of the resources is not available due to a failure or other cause, the other partitions and their assigned components are still available.

The

Control Path

The “control path” tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host application. Only one tape drive can be selected as the control path at one time. By default, the first tape drive assigned to a partition is designated the control path. In the event that the control path connection to the host application fails, you can select a new control path for the partition.

Setting Drive ID

A SCSI ID is a value between 0–15. Each device on a SCSI bus (including the HBA) needs to have a unique ID. Changing the SCSI ID is necessary when there is a duplicate ID on a single bus. Typically the HBA SCSI ID is set to 7. For example, if two tape drives are connected together on the same bus, each tape drive must have different SCSI IDs and they must be different from the HBA SCSI ID.

The library assigns default SCSI IDs to SCSI tape drives. T position in the library, and not the drive itself. This means that if a drive is replac different bay featur drive bay

Configuring Autoclean

The library supports automatic cleaning of the d before responding with status to the host, the system requests status from the drive to determine if the drive requires cleaning.

This chapter describes how to work with cartridges and barcodes. When working with cartridges there are certain considerations that should be taken into account.

Write-Protecting Cartridges

All cartridges have a write-protect (write-inhibit) switch to prevent accidental erasure or overwriting of data.

Before loading a cartridge into the library, make sure that the write-protect switch is positioned correctly (either on or off).

The switch is located on the left side of the cartridge to the right so that the padlock shows in the closed position.

All barcode labels must be applied to the front of a cartridge. Peel off the label and place it on the cartridge.

Verify that the label is oriented so that the numbers appear above the barcode. The cartridge cannot have any stickers or labels attached to get caught in the tape drives or become unreadable by the scanner.

About

The library uses advanced problem detection, reporting, and notification technology to alert customers of problems as soon as they occur. The library performs numerous self-tests to monitor the library’s temperature, voltage and c time the library is powered on, and during normal operation when the library is idle.

If the self-test detects a problem, the library generates a service report, or RAS which to indicate an abnormal state. If the problem is not severe, the library continues to provide full functionality to all unaffected partitions

When possible, the library provides instructions for resolving problems. These instructions appear on the library’s front panel, and are also available via the remote management interface. Access the library’s online Help system if you have questions abo
