CT9841FC-x Fibre Channel Tape Drive
The CT9841FC-x tape drive is an industrial strength, high-performance tape storage
product that is a replacement for the CT9840FC-x tape products. The CT9841FC-x is
backward-read compatible with the CT9840FC-x and CT9840-x tape drives. Tape
media written on these drives can be read on a CT9841FC-x tape drive. There are two
versions of the CT9841FC-x tape drive:
•
CT9841FC-1: 9840C tape drive for the CTL700 and CTL700M tape libraries. For
more information, see the L700 (CTL700) Installation and User's Guide.
•
CT9841FC-4: 9840C tape drive for the 9310 tape library. For more information, see
the Third-Party Documentation Directory.
Migration
The CT9841FC-x tape drives are supported on S-series servers that are running
G06.16 or later RVUs. OSM is a requirement. OSM SPRs are required on RVUs prior
to G06.24.
ESS
Introduced at G06.24, an Enterprise Storage System (ESS) is a disk array or collection
of magnetic disks, their controllers, and the disk cache in a stand-alone cabinet or
cabinets. These disks are configured by an attached console, and, when attached to
the NonStop S-series server, these disks are presented as logical volumes. These
logical volumes can be a fraction of a physical volume, or can span several physical
volumes.
Migration
Certain limitations exist for configurations that include ESS or IOAM enclosures. For a
comprehensive list of these limitations, contact your HP representative.
Note. One Fibre Channel converter (CT9800FC) is required to connect a CT9841-x Fibre
Channel tape drive to a NonStop S-series server. Use the CT9800FC Fibre Channel converter
to attach CT9841FC-x tape drives at distances of up to 500 meters from the host NonStop S-
series server.
