The error code remains on the Operator Control Panel until a push button is pressed, which causes the Operator Control Panel to return to the Home Screen. v Numeric error codes are only used for unrecoverable, fatal errors, otherwise text status messages are displayed. Power-ON Display When the library powers ON or resets, it goes through several internally controlled processes that allow it to get initialized and running. These processes are called Power-On-Self-Test (POST).
The following are additional operational details of LEDs: v The Ready/Activity LED is illuminated any time the unit is powered ON and functional. The Ready/Activity LED blinks whenever there is library or drive activity. This LED will also blink when the unit is OFFLINE. v The Clean LED is illuminated when either a cleaning requested or a cleaning required flag has been issued by the drive. The LED is turned off after a successful drive cleaning operation.

Chapter 3. Installation Planning Before installing your library, take time to review the following information. Determining the Number of Logical Libraries You can partition the library into as many logical libraries as there are drives in the library. Basic Guidelines v Each logical library must contain at least one drive. v A library configuration of exactly one logical library equals the entire physical library. v The library issues a warning to the user if media is moved across logical libraries.
Using Multiple Logical Libraries for Library Sharing Multiple logical libraries are an effective way for the library to simultaneously back up and restore data from heterogeneous applications.
Library Partitioning and Element Addressing Library 4U systems with firmware versions of .80 and higher, and containing at least 2 drives, have the ability to configure two logical libraries (create two partitions). This partitioning has been expanded with the new library firmware and half-high drive integration. Now it is possible to configure 1, 2, 3 or 4 partitions in the 4U library. Additionally the 2U library can now be configured into one or two partitions.
Configuration of a 1 - Partition System A one partition system configured for a 4U library contains any and all drives present in any drive positions, and it will contain all four magazines. When configured with one logical partition, the Element Address assignments will be as follows: DTE assignments will be as shown in Figure 3-1.
Configuration of a 3 - Partition System A three partition system must have at least three drives installed. A drive must be installed in drive position 1, another drive must be installed in drive position 2, and another drive must be installed in either drive position 3 or drive position 4. Partition 1 will contain the first drive and the first magazine. Partition 2 will contain the second drive and the second magazine. Partition 3 will contain any drives in drive position 3 and drive position 4.
SCSI Element Addressing Every logical library starts at the first drive slot with the current assigned element start address (default value 256). It will be incremented from the bottom to the top slots for every drive slot. There is one exception to this addressing scheme to accommodate libraries currently in the field. A 4U library containing only full height drives will continue to have the addresses assignments 256 and 257, thus causing no interruptions to their operation.
Logical Unit Number (LUN) Scanning The library uses a single SCSI or Loop ID per drive and dual LUNs to control the tape drive (LUN 0) and library accessor (LUN 1). The library requires a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that supports LUN scanning. If it is not enabled, your host system will not scan beyond LUN 0 and will fail to discover the library. It will only see the tape drive. Important: Some HBAs, such as RAID controllers, do not support LUN scanning.
Note: For maximum performance, it is recommended to have a maximum of one drive per SCSI bus. – Only use the maximum system-to-device cable length of 25 m (82 ft) when attaching directly to one device (a point to point interconnection). Note: Daisy-chaining is NOT recommended due to potential issues with SCSI bus performance, SCSI cables/connectors, and host bus adapters. Physical Characteristics of the SCSI Interface The library operates as a set of SCSI-3 devices.
Note: Daisy-chaining is NOT recommended due to potential issues with SCSI bus performance, SCSI cables/connectors, and host bus adapters. Removal of any jumpers will create a SCSI bus for each drive installed in your library for attachment to multiple servers or to multiple SCSI adapter cards on one server. Remember that each SCSI bus must be terminated. Multiple SCSI buses may be required for maximum performance, depending on the application and data compression ratio.
active/passive cluster failover. LAN-free drive sharing is not supported. Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 4 SAS drive sleds use the SFF-8088 connection at the drive sled end and SFF-8088 or SFF-8470 at the host adapter end. Fibre Channel Interface Fibre Channel allows for an active intelligent interconnection scheme, called a Fabric, to connect devices. Everything between the ports on Fibre Channel is called the Fabric.
Zoning allows you to partition your SAN into logical groupings of devices so that each group is isolated from the other and can only access the devices in its own group. Two types of zoning exist: hardware zoning and software zoning. Hardware zoning is based on physical fabric port number. Software zoning is defined with a World Wide Node Name (WWNN) or World Wide Port Name (WWPN). While zoning can be reconfigured without causing an outage, some zoning configurations can become complicated.

Make sure that the last device on the SCSI bus is properly terminated. Note: Only cables and terminators specified for Ultra160 or Ultra320 use or labeled as Multi Mode should be used. Note: The host bus adapter should be LVD SCSI. A single-ended (SE) SCSI host bus adapter will work, but will severely degrade performance, and limit cable length.
3. Plug the other end of each power cord into the nearest properly grounded power outlet. Use separate power sources for each power supply for redundant power. Attention: To disconnect all power from the library, remove the power cord from each outlet. The power button removes power from portions of the library and the drives, but the power supplies still have AC power at their inputs. 4. Remove the protective plastic on the exterior surfaces of the library. 5. Turn ON the library using the power button.

Service Library: Perform Diagnostics Note: When running the "System Test", the library must contain at least the same number of data cartridges as there are drives in that library. For example, if your library has 4 drives installed, you must have 4 or more data cartridges in the library prior to the start of the test. If there are fewer data cartridges than drives in the library, an error message "Slot Empty" will occur, and the test will not complete successfully.
v Drive Test: The library performs a drive communication test to confirm communication with the drive. v Ethernet Test: For each key management IP address, the library performs a ping test and records the results. v EKM Path Test: For each key management IP address that passed the ping test, the library performs a communication test. v EKM Config Test: This test confirms that a drive is correctly configured in the key manager to service key requests.
2. The library code must be updated first, unless noted otherwise. This action supports any changes that are introduced in the library code for that drive, or any changes that are made to the drive for that release. 3. These firmware updates are intended to increase overall reliability, improve tape handling, reduce the possibility of data errors, and enhance diagnostic capabilities. Note: Library firmware and tape drive firmware are verified and released together.

that lacks WORM-capable firmware from writing on a WORM tape cartridge. For LTO 6, native data capacity is 2500 GB and compressed data capacity is 6250 GB. v When the drive senses a WORM cartridge, the firmware prohibits the changing or altering of user data already written on the tape. The firmware keeps track of the last appendable point on the tape.
Table 6-5. Bar code label requirements for Ultrium tape drives and libraries (continued) Ultrium Tape Drive/Library Bar Code Label Requirements 3583 Required 3584 Required When read by a library's bar code reader, the bar code identifies the cartridge's VOLSER to the library. The bar code also tells the library whether the cartridge is a data cartridge or cleaning cartridge. In addition, the bar code includes the two-character media-type identifier Lx, where x equals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

to become a scratch (blank) data cartridge. Do not write-protect scratch (blank) cartridges; the tape drive will not be able to write new data to them. 1 A67E0026 If you must manually set the write-protect switch, slide it left or right to the desired position. Figure 6-4. Setting the write-protect switch Table 6-7. Location of the write-protect switch 1 Write-Protect Switch Handling the Cartridges Attention: Do not insert a damaged tape cartridge into the drive.
Ensure Proper Packaging v When shipping a cartridge, use the original or better packaging. v Always ship or store a cartridge in a jewel case. v Use only a recommended shipping container that securely holds the cartridge in its jewel case during transportation. v Never ship a cartridge in a commercial shipping envelope. Always place it in a box or package.
Perform a Thorough Inspection After purchasing a cartridge and before using it, perform the following steps: v Inspect the cartridge's packaging to determine potential rough handling. v When inspecting a cartridge, open only the cartridge door. Do not open any other part of the cartridge case. The upper and lower parts of the case are held together with screws; separating them destroys the usefulness of the cartridge. v Inspect the cartridge for damage before using or storing it.
Environmental and Shipping Specifications for Tape Cartridges Before you use a tape cartridge, acclimate it to the operating environment for 24 hours or the time necessary to prevent condensation in the drive (the time will vary, depending on the environmental extremes to which the cartridge was exposed). The best storage container for the cartridges (until they are opened) is the original shipping container.
Chapter 7. Troubleshooting v The library consists of the following CRUs (Customer Replaceable Units): – Control Card (electronics, processor, memory, etc.) – Power Supply – Drive Sled (drive plus drive-to-library connectivity) – Cartridge Magazines v Service Spare: – Library Enclosure (accessor, Operator control panel display, etc.

A drive slot which does not contain a drive, and has a position between used slots, needs to be reported as a SCSI element. To signal the host application that this slot is not usable, its ACCESS bit will be disabled. Note: When reducing the number of drives in your library, update the Logical Library configuration.

Values returned range from 00h to 0Fh. 14. This field (Byte 35) contains the frame and drive number, passed across the RS-422 serial interface.
Appendix D. Enabling LUN Support in Linux To verify the detection of a tape drive, administrators should check for its entry in /proc/scsi/scsi. Current versions of Linux may not scan the logical storage unit (LUN) ID of every device. This can result in some TL2000/TL4000 devices not being identified or listed in the /proc/scsi/scsi output. Administrators can follow these steps to enable support for such devices. 1. Type cat /proc/scsi/scsi.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL doesn't automatically probe all LUNs on SCSI devices. The symptom shows LUN 0, which would be the drive, but not the loader. 1. Type #cat /proc/scsi/scsi. Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: ULT3580-HH3 Rev: 88M3 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 2. You will need to add the following to /etc/modules.conf options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=255 Note: In RHEL 4, it is max_luns=255 3.
5. Add the /LUNS switch to the load line of the appropriate SCSI driver. If a dual channel card is installed and you are unsure which channel the LUN device is attached to, simply edit both lines. LOAD ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=201 /LUNS LOAD ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=202 /LUNS 6. After the STARTUP.NCF file has been edited, save the file and reboot the server to activate the new STARTUP.NCF. 7. Upon reboot navigate to the System Console and type scan all. This will start a scan of all the LUNS on each adapter. 8.

Appendix E. Notes on IPv6 Compatibility with Windows 2003/XP and 2008/Vista IPv6 addressing is different from traditional IPv4 addressing. IPv4 addressing is listed in the format 255.255.255.255, with each value 1 byte, a total address of 4 bytes. IPv6 addresses require 16 bytes, and are listed in the format FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF, where there are 8 segments each 2 bytes long. Windows 2003/XP IPv6 support in Windows 2003 is not turned on by default.
v After upgrading the WinInet API (by upgrading to IE 7), the library RMU can be accessed from the browser by using the following format. – Replace all : with -. – Append s.ipv6-literal.net to the end of the IPv6 address. – For example, if the IPv6 address is fe80::1234:5678:abc and the interface number is 13, the address to browse to would be http://fe80--1234-5678abcs13.ipv6-literal.net.
