Tandberg Data

Data Compression

Data Compression is a way to increase capacity on a storage device. Compression ratios are normally specified to be 2:1, meaning that it is possible to store twice as much data on the tape as normal without data compression. However, the compression rate is depending on the type of data, e.g. ordinary text files can be compressed in a much higher rate than program files.

There are two ways to compress data, hardware compression and software compression. The storage device very often does hardware compression, and software compression means that the program is compressing the data before it is sent to the storage device. Hardware compression is much more efficient, and works much faster than software compression.

The Tandberg Data SLR4-DC, SLR5, SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140 use ALDC Hardware compression to compress data. This feature is enabled per default but the user may turn off data compression through the application software or specific Software Tools. (Please refer to the Tandberg SCSI tools chapter at the end of this manual for more information).

Tape Drive Installation

SCSI Controller Board Installation

All Tandberg Data SLR tape drives uses a SCSI interface to the host system. Before any SCSI device can be installed it is necessary to have a SCSI controller board installed. Please pay attention to the following points.

• Make sure your computer is turn off before proceeding to the

installation.

• If you computer is equipped with an onboard SCSI

controller, before proceeding with the installation, you must first locate the SCSI connector on the computer motherboard.

• Refer to the documentation provided with your computer to

find out where this connector is located.

• If multiple SCSI connectors are available, you can choose any of

them, except if your computer documentation mentions something different.

· When done, firmly connect the SCSI connector to the Mainboard connector and refer to the section

· You will also need a software driver from the SCSI controller

vendor to activate the SCSI Controller. Please make sure you have the latest software driver for your SCSI controller loaded, and that the SCSI controller board is properly installed. Software drivers can be downloaded from the vendors' web site. Refer to the README file for installation.

Please refer to the PC/Server documentation for further

information on how to install additional boards in the PC/Server. Or ask your local dealer for assistance.

Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide

SCSI Configuration

SCSI-ID Selection

All devices on a SCSI-bus need their own unique identification, called SCSI-ID. If a SCSI-ID conflict exists, some of the SCSI devices will not be recognized by your system. In many systems it is common to use the SCSI-bus for the hard-drive and CD-ROM, as well as the tape drive. Remember that the SCSI Controller uses SCSI-ID 7.

If the tape drive is the only device on the SCSI bus, you do not need to do anything. The tape drive will be recognized automatically. (All Tandberg Data tape drives are delivered with SCSI-ID 2 as default.)

Tandberg Data

Internal SLR7 - SLR140

If the tape drive is going to share the SCSI-bus with other devices, check the SCSI-ID numbers used by the other devices, then set the drive’s SCSI-ID to a number that is not being used by any of the other devices (remember the SCSI host adapter uses ID 7).

The SCSI-ID is often set by “jumpers” where you can “read out” which SCSI-ID the device has been set up for. All SCSI device ID's are displayed on the screen during system startup.

SCSI-bus Termination - Internal Tape Drives

Termination in General

A SCSI-bus is susceptible to interference, such as noise from electrical motors and other electromagnetic devices. Also due to the speed of the data on the SCSI-bus, it is of outmost importance to terminate the SCSI-bus properly. “Termination” is used to define the ends of the SCSI-bus.

Tandberg SLR2 ® SLR5

cable, as shown to the left, make sure that the SCSI termination packs are installed in the drive (Factory default).

SCSI termination in a system with three internal SCSI devices.

• If your tape drive will be in the middle of

a SCSI chain, as shown to the left, you must disable SCSI termination on the drive. To disable SCSI termination on the tape drive, remove the termination resistor packs from the drive (see figure on the following page). Make sure that the last SCSI device on the cable has termination enabled.

Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide 13

Tandberg Data

The Tandberg SLR2 ® SLR5 drives have 3 passive termination resistor packages that can be removed or installed inside the drive.

Tandberg SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60 SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140

The Tandberg SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140 tape drives are supplied with no internal drive termination capability. To comply with PC99 specifications, TD supplies an internal SCSI cable with a removable active terminator to facilitate termination requirements in internal applications.

Tandberg Data

How to Rewind a Data Cartridge

Tandberg SLR7 ® SLR140

The SLR7-140 drives automatically perform this operation when the Eject button is pressed.

Tandberg SLR2® SLR5

Unix System Command

Using the system command, a rewind operation has to be performed using the MT command. (Refer to the MT documentation for details)

Unix System/PC System Using Backup Application

To make sure the tape is at Beginning Of Tape, a retension command has to be executed, prior to ejecting the tape.

When this operation is completed: Eject the tape from the drive and then store it in its protective case.

Storage Condition

Avoid high temperature (>25C/77F) and high humidity (>50 % RH)

Store the data cartridge in a cool and dry environment.

Do not store the data cartridge near devices with strong magnetic fields, such as computer monitors, TV sets, or loudspeakers.

Conditioning

Prior to use, the data cartridge should be adapted to the operating environment for a time at least equal to the period it has been out of the operating environment (up to a maximum of 8 hours).

Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide 23

Tandberg Data

Retentioning Condition

A Retention MUST be performed in any of the following cases:

· First use of brand new data cartridge.

· After prolonged operation over a limited tape length,

meaning excessive start/stop operations.

· When the cartridge has been exposed to a decrease/increase in temperature of 16°C (30° F)

· When the cartridge has been dropped.

· The occurrence of excessive soft write errors, excessive

soft read errors (also named ECC error by some backup applications).

Cleaning

Before use, please make sure that the cleaning cartridge is stored for 24 hours in the temperature and humidity of the environment in which it will be used.

Recommended Cleaning Intervals

In general, the tape drive should be cleaned after 50 hours of tape movement for SLR2-5, and every 100 hours for SLR7 -

140.

A weekly cleaning routine is highly recommended, as well as cleaning the tape drive immediately after using a brand new tape cartridge.

NOTE: If your product is the Tandberg SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 or SLR140, cleaning is required when the rightmost front LED being illuminated a steady AMBER color.

In case of problems with operation of your SLR tape drive and before contacting the Customer Services Group, please be sure to check the following:

Hardware Checking

• Check that the system recognizes the tape drive during the boot

process.

• Check that the SCSI host adapter recognizes the tape drive

during its initialization.

· Did you check the ta pe dri ve Fron t Panel LE D stat us?

· Check that the tape drive has been co nfigured correc tly.

• Check that the SCSI-ID of the drive is not conflicting on the SCSI-

bus.

· Check that the power cable is inserted correctly.

· Check that the SCSI cable connections are made correctly.

Software Checking

• Check that the operating system does not report a problem

during the boot.

• Check that the correct Tape Device Driver has been installed

properly.

Verifying Recent Change s

If the SLR has been installed previously and operating correctly but is now incurring a problem, verify any recent changes to the system to ensure that these changes are not causing the problem. Try the following:

1) If the system configura tion has changed, remove the change to see if it affected the tape drive.

2) If an operating system corre ctive pa tch has bee n installed, remove it to see if it affected the tape drive.

3) If a SCSI device has been added, check for SCSI-ID conflicts.

4) If a SCSI device has been added, check if the SCSI termination has been properly set.

Correcting Intermittent Failures

If the SLR fails inte rm itten tly :

1) Clean the tape drive.

2) Check the SCSI termination on the SCSI Bus.

If the problem occurs in the middle of an operation:

1) Try with a different data cartridge.

2) If the error occurs when the software scans for the files to

be backed-up, please operate a check the state of the File Systems(s) and hard disk.

If the error occurs always on the same file or directory:

1) Try to remove the file or directory from the Backup operation to see if that corrects the pro blem.

2) Try with a different data cartridge.
