Info

FastLoad Feature To optimize system performance, the Robots automatically implement the Fast Load capability. Once a Robot successfully inserts a cartridge into a drive, it is immediately available for the next request and does not wait until the drive reports that the cartridge has been loaded. The SL8500 library control electronics waits to return the response to the mount request until it detects that the tape drive has successfully loaded the cartridge tape. Redundant Robots Two Robots can service a single rail section within the library, providing redundancy. Each Robot has two motors, if one fails, the other motor is powerful enough to move the defective Robot into the forward service area. If both the motors fail for a Robot, then the redundant Robot moves the defective Robot into the forward service area thus continuing Robot operations. Library Cameras An Ethernet-based library camera system (WebCam) with monitoring software is an optional feature of the SL8500 library. The camera allows you to remotely see the inside of the SL8500 library. The WebCam attaches to a 10Base-T, 100Base-T Ethernet connection and provides remote, high-quality, audio and video. This feature contains two cameras that mount in the upper frame of the front access door – one on each side of the library. Note – The WebCam feature uses a third-party camera designed for the security surveillance market and is subject to change without notice. 8 SL8500 User’s Guide • June 2010 Revision: KB • 96154
Drive and Electronics Module The following information is a summary of drive and cartridge support provided by the SL8500. For complete details on drive support, see the StorageTek SL8500 Systems Assurance Guide. The major components of the Drive and Electronics module include: ■ Tape Drives – Slots for 1 to 64 tape drives ■ Electronics Control Module (ECM) and cards for library operation ■ Power ■ AC power distribution units N+1 (standard) or 2N (optional) ■ Load sharing DC power supplies that provide power for the tape drives and HandBots ■ Accessory racks to mount network devices and components, servers, and the service delivery platform Tape Drives TABLE 1-2 Supported Drives SL8500 library supports from 1 to 64 drives. The interface to these drives is fiber-optic based; meaning Fibre Channel, FICON 1 , or ESCON 2 attachments. The following table lists the supported vendors, drives types, and interfaces. Vendor Drive Type Host Interface Type StorageTek T9840A Fibre Channel, ESCON T9840B Fibre Channel, FICON, ESCON T9840C Fibre Channel, FICON, ESCON T9840D Fibre Channel, FICON, ESCON T9940B Fibre Channel, VSM ESCON T10000A & B Fibre Channel, FICON HP Linear Tape-Open (LTO 2, 3, 4 & 5) Fibre Channel IBM Linear Tape-Open (LTO 2, 3, 4 & 5) Fibre Channel Quantum Linear Tape-Open (LTO 3) Fibre Channel Quantum Super DLT (SDLT600) Fibre Channel 1. Short for Fiber Connection, or Fiber Connectivity – IBM’s fiber optic channel technology that extends the capabilities ESCON. FICON supports full duplex data transfers over longer distances. 2. Short for Enterprise Systems Connection, or Enterprise Systems Connectivity – an IBM fiber optic channel technology that supports half duplex data transfers up to 200 Mb/s. 96154 • Revision: KB 9
