common unit.
SCSI and Fiber Channel Interface Connectors
The library supports both SCSI and FC
drives. The SCSI
tape drive
has two shielded 68
-
pin HD SCSI
connectors on the rear panel and the FC
tape drive
has
one
FC connector. The connectors are used
for connecting the tape drive and the
StorageLibrary
to the host. These connectors can link to the
following:
A shielded male HD68 SCSI cable
A shielded male HD68 SCSI terminator
FC port

Ethernet Port
This port is for
networking in support of the Web Client.
It allows
you to connect the StorageLibrary
to
a 10
BaseT
compatible
Ethernet network.
Ba
ttery Holder
The battery for the real time clock is
located
behind a plate at the rear of the library.
A drive power
extension cable is found in the same location.
Back Panel Cover plate
If a drive
bay
is empty
,
a
cover plate
covers the opening to prevent
dust from entering the library.
Library Features
This section describes several features of the
StorageLibrary
.
Operator
Interfaces
The front panel is located on the front of the library and allows
users
to work locally on the library via
the
Operator
inte
rface
(Front Panel Interface, FPI)
. The
Web Client is a
remote management interface
that
allows
users
to view and perform library functions from remote sites and is accessible through a
browser. The front panel
interface and
the Web Client
contain a simila
r
Operator
interface and
functionality. For more information about the front panel and the
Web Client
interface,
see
Information
about
the
Operator
Interfaces
.
ADI Bridging and LUN
The
StorageLibrary
implements
Automation Drive Interface
(
ADI
)
bridging with
Logical Unit
Numbering (LUN
)
addressing. This means that the library controller does not have its own host
interface, but SCSI commands to the library control
ler are sent via one of the installed tape drives.
The tape drive and the library controller will have a common SCSI ID but different LUN numbers. The
SCSI commands to/from the library controller are sent via the tape drives ADI port.
The purpose of the L
UN interface is to eliminate the requirement for a host interface on the library
controller boa
rd
.

s, or dedication to one or more
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
StorageLibrary
can be divided into a maximum of four partitions. At least one tape drive and one
magazine must be assigned to each partition. The robot, the import/export
slots
and the cleaning s
lots
are
common resources to all partitions. For more information on partitions
, see
Configuring
Partitions
.
Control Path
The control path tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host applica
tion. 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.
I/E Station
I/E station enables importing and exporting cartridges without interrupting normal library operations.
I/E station
slots
are located in
either the lower left or the upper left
magazine. The number of I/E
sl
ots
for the 40
slot
library is
user
settable to 0 (none), 3 or 8. The number of
I/E
slots
for the 24
slot
library
is
user
settable to 0 (none) or 3.
The I/E
slots
are shared among all partitions. When a
cartridge in a
n I/E
slot
is assigned to a partition,
only that partition can access that
I/E
slot
.
Access to the I/E
slot
is managed through the front panel interface only.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The
StorageLibrary
supports system monitoring via SNMP and SNMP Notifications.
Capacity on Dem
and (COD)
In
StorageLibrar
y
, LTO storage
slots
are licensed for use. At any time, Capacity on Demand (COD)
allows you to enable the unused storage
slots
within a library via a
firmware license key. The
StorageLibrary
comes with 24
slots (two lower magazine
s)
and supports licensing of additional 16
slots (two upper magazines)
.
Details about the COD license key
:
The license key does
not expire
.
Once a license key is installed it cannot be removed
.
Contact Technical Support or open a service request to order a
COD License Key. For contact
information,
see
Getting
More
Information
or
Help
.
To see your librarys current configuration and
slot
availability, open
the
home screen
of t
he remote
management interface.
An instruction sheet that describes how to use the license key is provided in the accessory kit.
Once
you receive the license key, enter
it
via the front panel of the library. When the license key is entered,
the total number of avail
able
slots
in the library increases.

ables
1
Before the SCSI bus cable is connected to the
StorageLibrary
, make sure the
StorageLibrary
power switch is off.
2
Make sure your host system is in a s
tate where a new SCSI device can be safely connected to the
SCSI bus.
3
Do not exceed SCSI bus length restrictions.
a.
Add the length of all external and internal SCSI cables on the bus
.
b.
Add
26.4 cm (10.
4 inch) for the internal cable length in the
StorageLibr
ary
.
c.
The maximum allowed length of an LVD SCSI bus is 12 m (39 ft) if the number of
SCSI devices exceeds two.
4
Before the
StorageLibrary
is powered on and the system is restarted, make sure the SCSI bus is
properly terminated.
Connecting the
C
ables
1.
Instal
l the library in a rack
or
install
the tabletop
kit
.
2.
Connect the SCSI cables to the
tape drive
.
a.
On the bottom tape drive, connect a jumper cable to the top SCSI connector and then to the
bottom SCSI connector on the tape drive above it. Repeat this step fo
r all tape drives on the
SCSI bus. Secure the cable with the t
h
umbscrews on the connectors.
a.
Terminate the last device on the SCSI bus with the appropriate SCSI terminator.
b.
Connect a cable between the last tape drive on the SCSI bus and the host. Note that
there are limitations to the length of the SCSI cable.
3.
Connect your
Ethernet
cable to the
Ethernet
port on the rear of the library
.
This will give

.
Warning
Make sure the AC outle
t that you connect the
StorageLibrary power
cable into is
reliably earthed.
Adding the StorageLibrary
to an existing rack installation can cause a leaking
current fault condition because of the summation of the leaking currents.
For security, a 250V 2A fus
e is located near the power switch
.

System Power
-on
At power
-
on, for the first few seconds the unit performs a sequence of diagnostic tests called Power
-
On Self Tests (POST). POST also includes a loop
-
back test of the robot
ics
cabling.
After the POST sequence completes successfully, the library will respond to SCSI selections. Then
the system starts a series of initialization functions, a process that co
nsists of robot calibration
operation and cartridge inventory of magazines and drive.
The
barcode labels on the cartridges will be
read when running inventory.
During these operations
,
the library continuously shows the map status on the screen. The status
of
all magazine
slots
and the drives are initially unknown, and a
question mark (?)
is displayed for each
slot
. As the robot searches the magazine
slots
for cartridges during inventory, the display is updated.
Note
The t
ape drive needs up to 60
seconds
after
power
-
on until
it is
active on the
SCSI bus. You should turn on the power at least
60
seconds before the computer
system is started.

5 Information about the Operator Interfaces
The
StorageLibrary
has two
Operator
interfaces: the Front Panel Interface (FPI) and the Remote
Management
Interface (RMI). Operations on the
StorageLibrary
can be performed locally on the
library using the FPI or remotely on your computer using the remote management interface (RMI).
Similar functionality with common elements is used for both formats.
Note
Both
Front Panel Interface and the R
emote Management Interface are required
to
access all options for operating
the library. Some functionality is only available
through the remote management interface, and some functionality is only
available through the
front panel interface. However, it is recommended that you
use the remote management interface rather than the front panel to perform
library operations whenever possible.
Front Panel Interface (FPI)
The front panel is physically attached to the front of
the library.
The
Operator
interface appears on the
LCD display of the front panel for executing basic library management functions.
The functions of the four control buttons are displayed in the corners of the LCD. The functions of the
buttons change durin
g different activities, and the actual function for each button is always visible on
the display.
The Front Panel includes the
Operator
control panel with LCD display, four control buttons, two LED
indicators and a standby switch.
Scroll Function
The front
panel display is able to
display
20
characters in a line. Some
functionality requires more
than 20
characters.
To access
all
characters a scroll function is implemented.
The buttons on the front
panel are used
to scroll
the text
left or right (a left arro
w appears on the left button and a right arrow
appears on the right button to indicate the scroll function).
T
he number of lines on the display is limited. If the text to be displayed contains more than 8
lines
,
a
similar scroll function as described above
is used.
For line scrolling,
the arrows on the buttons indicate
scroll up or down function.
