and the floor limits the distance that the robot can travel. If the library floor is attached to the base module, the bottom two rows (containing 16 slots) cannot be used. The robotics unit is located at the top of the base module. When fully retracted (or parked), the robot is fully contained within a 2U space. For safety reasons, the robot is parked before the center door can be opened.
The card cage in the base module (see (page 13)) provides six cPCI slots for the following: • Library robotics controller (see (page 16)) A single slot, 6U-wide cPCI board having Ethernet ports and an RS-232 port. One Ethernet port connects this controller to the Interface Manager card. • Interface Manager card (see (page 16)) A single slot, 4U-wide cPCI board having six Ethernet ports.
Tape drive expansion module The tape drive expansion module is an 8U chassis containing 94 LTO slots (84 permanent and 10 configurable). The number of usable permanent slots depends on whether it is the bottom module in the library because the library floor is always attached to the bottom module and the floor limits the distance that the robot can travel. If the library floor is attached to the tape drive expansion module, the bottom row (containing seven slots) cannot be used.
Figure 6 Card cage expansion module 1. Viewing window 2. 4U blank cover 3. Card slots 4. Power supplies 5. Fans Capacity expansion module The capacity expansion module is an 8U chassis containing 120 LTO slots (110 permanent and 10 configurable). If the library floor is attached to the capacity expansion module, the bottom row containing 10 slots is blocked and cannot be used. CAUTION: Never operate the library with the floor removed. The robot can be damaged.
Library robotics controller The library robotics controller contains firmware to control the robot, communicate with the Interface Manager card, manage the library servo and vision control, and monitor the door and load port sensor status. Robot commands are sent from hosts in the SAN to an interface controller, which directs them over an internal Ethernet network to the library robotics controller. The library robotics controller translates these commands into movements to be performed by the robot.
The Interface Manager card communicates with the management station over the LAN. The management station is a Microsoft Windows-based PC (server) that hosts the Command View TL software. Ideally, the management station should have a static IP address, and be dedicated for use with the Interface Manager card and Command View TL software. IP connections on the EML can be IPv4 or IPv6 format. The library can be configured to use one or both formats, but can not operate if neither protocol is enabled.
5. To save any changes to the network settings, select the Save button at the bottom, right of the OCP. Any client machine on the LAN can communicate with the Interface Manager card either through the GUI or through a command line interface (CLI). At a higher level, multiple libraries, each containing an Interface Manager card, can be connected to a single management station.
Changing the master controller (SIPP master) One interface controller is assigned by the Interface Manager card as the master controller the SIPP master. Only the SIPP master is designated to send commands to the library robotics controller. If multiple interface controllers are present, Command View TL software, through the Cabling View, can be used to determine which one is acting as the SIPP master. Changing the SIPP master requires a service-level password and command using the CLI (Telnet or serial).

Figure 16 Library load ports on 40U configuration Tape drives The Ultrium tape drive is a high performance streaming tape drive that uses LTO technology. The library can use Ultrium 460 (LTO 2), Ultrium 960 (LTO 3), Ultrium 1840 (LTO4), Ultrium 3280 (LTO5) and Ultrium 6650 (LTO6) tape drives. The Ultrium 960 and later include support for both rewriteable and Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) tape cartridges.

Use these menus to view and change the library settings, move tape cartridges, obtain status information, or run diagnostic tests.
messages often include a slot location in the format MRC x,y,z. This identifies a module (x), row (y), and column (z) location. Each module has a different number of available slots, but a common numbering scheme for identifying the slot location. The library numbers the LTO slots using the following scheme: • In general, the library numbers the slots one module at a time, starting with the top module.

the management station directly, or through any client on the LAN using a browser-based GUI. Multiple Command View TL clients can be simultaneously open across the LAN, and multiple libraries can be managed through the Command View TL software. See the Command View TL documentation at http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl for prerequisites, installation, and operating instructions. IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading an EML 71e, you must purchase a capacity upgrade license for Command View TL (part number AH063A).
2 Using the library This chapter describes operating procedures for the library. Powering on the library 1. Close the center door of the library and turn the center-door knob one-quarter turn clockwise to lock it. Figure 24 Closing the center door 2. At the back of the library, press the library main power switch to the I (On) position. Figure 25 Library main power switch control 1.
3. If this is the first time the library has been powered on after delivery, or if a new interface controller was installed, configure the interface controller so that it is recognized by the Interface Manager card. Do one of the following: • If your library has an e2400-FC 2Gb interface controller, wait approximately two minutes, and turn off the main power switch. Wait several seconds and then turn on the power switch again.
HP recommends that you use them on your tape cartridges. Your host software can use barcode labels to track the following information: • Date of format or initialization • Media pool of tape • Data residing on the tape • Age of the backup • Errors encountered while using the tape (to determine if the tape is faulty) CAUTION: Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or mishandle them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic interference.
Figure 27 Attaching an Ultrium barcode label Setting the write-protect switch Each tape cartridge has a sliding write-protect switch. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the tape cartridge (write-enabled) or whether data on the tape cartridge is protected from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). By moving the switch to the left, the tape cartridge is write-enabled. By moving the switch to the right, the tape cartridge is write-protected.
4. Grab the handle on the magazine and pull it out of the library. CAUTION: Guard plates prevent access to the inside of the library when a load port magazine is removed. These doors will move back out of the way when a magazine is reinserted. You should not attempt to otherwise move these guards, nor gain access to the library through the load ports. 5. Insert the tape cartridges into any available slots in the magazine.

Periodic and routine maintenance This section describes maintenance that occurs on a scheduled or as-needed basis.
Cleaning Ultrium tape drives Be aware of the following: • Ultrium tape drives have been developed to have a minimal cleaning requirement. • An Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge can be used up to 50 times. If you are using an older Ultrium cleaning cartridge, check the documentation that came with your cleaning cartridge. CAUTION: Only use Ultrium universal cleaning cartridges in Ultrium tape drives. See “Ordering HP tape cartridges and barcode label packs” (page 102) for obtaining supplies.
the library. Both platform problems and general tape drive errors display an error message or event code on the OCP. Use the event codes listed later in this chapter to help determine a recovery procedure. The library depends on several other components to operate correctly. Errors that seem to be caused by the library are often a result of issues on the host, the network cabling, or with the application software. When troubleshooting the library, begin by ruling out these components.
Startup problems Table 21 Startup problems Problem Corrective action The library does not power on. Make sure that: • The power cord is connected to a grounded electrical outlet. • Each PDU power switch is on, as well as the switch on the power strips.
Table 21 Startup problems (continued) Problem Corrective action • Power cords from PDU power strips are installed and seated. • The library main power switch is on. The library powers on but the robot does not move. • Check the connections of the Ethernet cable between the library robotics controller and the Interface Manager card. • If the Interface Manager card does not have access to the DHCP server and the library firmware is at release 2.
Table 21 Startup problems (continued) Problem Corrective action The OCP displays a yellow warning and the Status→Health Summary→Interface Manager screen indicates the Interface Manager card is initializing. • Check cable connections. • Check Interface Manager card and interface controller configurations. If problem persists: • Reset the interface controller. • Power cycle the library. • Reset the default configuration on the interface controller.
Table 23 Robotics problems (continued) Problem Corrective action Close the center door to recalibrate the library. The robot times out or hangs. • Make sure that nothing obstructs the robot. • Retry the operation. • Power cycle the library to recalibrate. • Review latest error messages in the critical and warning event logs to help decipher the message and determine the cause. The robot fails during an operation.
Operating problems Table 24 Operating problems Problem Corrective action The host computer cannot communicate • Make sure that Command View TL reports a green status for the library with the library. and tape drives. • Make sure that the host computer was added to the Secure Manager using the Command View TL software, and was given access to library components. • Check library network configuration. • Make sure that there is power to library components.
Table 25 Tape drive problems (continued) Problem Corrective action • Reseat the tape drive. • Check tape drive status on the OCP and with Command View TL. The tape drive does not eject a cartridge. • Attempt the operation from the application software. • Open the center door, reach in, and then press the Eject button on the tape drive in question. If this fails, press and hold the Eject button for at least ten seconds to force an eject.
Table 26 Common Interface Manager card issues Symptom Possible cause Solution Command View TL server does not detect the Interface Manager card. Bad network connection • Make sure that the Interface Manager card and the management station are correctly connected to the LAN. • Use LEDs to troubleshoot Ethernet cabling ((page 43) and (page 60)). • Ping the Interface Manager card to make sure that the network is healthy.
Table 26 Common Interface Manager card issues (continued) Symptom Possible cause Solution Cabling Check cabling and observe indicators on the Interface Manager card, interface controllers, and tape drives. Configuration • Check each interface controller for active link LEDs to each tape drive. • Check that the number of tape drives reported by the library matches the number of tape drives reported by the Interface Manager card. Check each interface controller for correct number of tape drives mapped.
Table 27 Interface Manager card LED fault isolation (continued) Indicators Procedures Blinks 4x per 5 second Off interval Blinks 1x per 5 second • Reset the Interface Manager card (see (page 43)). interval • If the Interface Manager card does not have access to the DHCP server and the library firmware is at release 2.4 or greater, access the CLI from a serial connection and execute the command set network config eml.
Examining FC port connection Most hubs and switches have link indicators showing link status. When the interface controller is connected and powered on, the link indicator appears solid. If it is not, examine the cabling or connections. To examine links: • Make sure that the library is not running any tasks before disconnecting any cables. Disconnect and reconnect the FC cable. This procedure causes momentary activity of this indicator as the link reinitializes.

D Installing a redundant PDU PDU components The library comes with one PDU installed. For a variety of reasons, it may be desirable or necessary to add a second PDU to the library rack. The factors that determine when to add a second PDU are described below.
Placement of redundant PDU components The library primary PDU (#1) and two power strips (#1 and #3) are installed at the factory. The redundant PDU (#2) is installed above the primary PDU, also in a 0U side mount position. The top of PDU #1 is approximately 33 cm (13 inches) from the caster boss. The top of PDU #2 is placed approximately 63 cm (25 inches) from the caster boss (see (page 105)). Power strip #2 is placed equidistant between power strips #1 and #3.

or an arbitrated loop. Fibre Channel is a generalized transport mechanism with no protocol of its own. A Fibre Channel does not have a native input/output command set, but can transport existing Upper Level Protocols (ULP) such as SCSI. Fibre Channel operates at speeds of 200 MB per second. Fibre Channel operates over distances of up to 100 m over copper media or up to 10 km over optical links. flash memory Firmware memory for the current and previous version of library firmware.
magazine A removable array that holds tape cartridges and is placed into the load port. PCI Peripheral component interconnect. The PCI bus typically runs at speeds of 33 MHz or 66 MHz and is usually 32 bits wide. This means that it passes 32 bits of data simultaneously as if down 32 separate wires. Some of the most recent computers include wider 64-bit PCI buses, and already certain very high-end video capture cards offer improved performance if connected to a 64-bit PCI bus.
