1 Features and overview The Library Extender combines two HP StorageWorks MSL Tape Libraries to create a single extended library. Before installing the Extender, the Libraries must be installed in the rack rails supplied with the Libraries in adjacent rack locations, one Library above the other. See the example shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Library Extender installed with two MSL4048 Tape Libraries .
Slot numbering and mailslot configurations Magazine and mailslot numbering begins with the lower Library and continues with the master Library. For storage slot numbering, see Table 2.
Using the Extender with the Encryption Kit The HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 & MSL LTO-4 Encryption Kit provides secure generation and storage of encryption keys. An extended library will only access the key server token in the master Library. NOTE: The USB port in the lower Library is not active. The extended library must contain at least one LTO-4 tape drive to use the Encryption Kit. LTO-4 tape drives can be in any valid drive location in the extended library.
6. Move the tape drives, if necessary, to open the drive bays that will be used by the Extender. NOTE: In an MSL4048, a full-height tape drive will only operate in the two upper or two lower half-height drive locations. Do not install a full height tape drive in the middle half-height drive bays of an MSL4048 Tape Library. 7. Install the Extender. 8. Tighten the captive rack attachment screws on the front of the Libraries. 9.
2 Configuring and operating an extended library This chapter provides information about extended library configuration and operation tasks that are different from a single Tape Library. If you are installing the Extender for the first time, read this chapter for reference after installing the Extender following the instructions in Chapter 3, page 27. TIP: Check the Help screens in the RMI for additional information.
Figure 3 Press the power buttons on both Libraries to power on the extended library . If the master Library is powered on first, it will prompt the user to power on the lower Library. If the lower Library is powered on first, it will remain in an uninitialized state until it receives an initialization command from the master Library. Powering off the extended library To power off the extended library, power off the master Library. The master Library will power the lower Library off.
Viewing identity information To view detailed information about both Tape Libraries and the Extender, use the RMI Identity > Library page or the master Library Info > Identity OCP screen. Figure 5 Identity > Library page . The Library Information pane displays information about the master Library and the extended library. • Serial Number — the electronic serial number for the master Library.
• Bootcode Firmware Revision. • Library Mode. • Automatic — the device will switch from Sequential to Random mode if it receives media changer SCSI commands. • Manual — the device will stay in the current mode until another mode is configured by a user. • Random — the device will not automatically load and unload tapes. Instead, it will wait for commands from the backup software or the OCP to load and unload tapes.
Figure 6 Example of the System Status pane from an extended library with an MSL8096 master Library and MSL4048 lower Library . • Updated — the day, date, and time of the most recent status view. This timestamp comes from your computer and may be different from the Library time lower in the pane. Click your browser's refresh button to update the system status.
• MSL8096 — Functional, fan failure — The power supply is supplying power to the Library, but the fan has failed so the power supply could fail soon. The power supply should be replaced. • Installed, failed — The power supply installed in the unit is not working and the Library no longer has redundant power. The power supply should be replaced. NOTE: If the MSL4048 has two power supplies and one fails, after a power cycle the Library will not recognize the failed power supply as installed in the Library.
The blue exclamation point Status Warning icon indicates that user intervention is necessary, but that the device can still perform most operations. The red X Status Error icon indicates that user intervention is required and that the device is not capable of performing some operations. • Library Extender Status — The status of the Library Extender and extended mode.
Figure 8 Configuration > System RMI page for an extended library with an MSL8096 master Library and an MSL4048 lower Library . • Library LUN Hosted By Drive — Specifies the master tape drive for the extended library through which the host system controls the extended library. The default is the lowest numbered tape drive in the extended library. If an extended library has only one tape drive, it is the master drive for the extended library.
• When Autoload mode is set, the device automatically loads the cartridge from the lowestnumbered full slot into the tape drive. It then follows standard sequential operation. • When Loop mode is on, the original first cartridge in the sequence is reloaded after the device has cycled through all available cartridges. If Loop mode is off and the last cartridge has been unloaded, the device stops loading cartridges until you load another manually.
Auto cleaning is disabled by default. You can enable automatic cleaning even if there are no cleaning cartridges in the device. In this case, the device will display a warning message. CAUTION: Only enable automatic cleaning in either the backup application or the Library, not both. • Barcode Label Length Reported to Host — the number of bar code characters reported to the host application. This option provides compatibility with libraries and software with more limited bar code reading capabilities.

Packet containing two half-height drive bay covers, four screws, and the alignment gauge. 3. Getting started guide Downloading product documentation This document contains information about configuring and operating the extended library.
Determining the master and lower Library The Library Extender is installed with two HP StorageWorks MSL Tape Libraries to combine the cartridge and tape drive slots into a single extended library, as shown in the example in Figure 10, page 29. Figure 10 Library Extender installed with two MSL4048 Tape Libraries . The upper Library controls the extended library and is called the master Library. The extended library uses the master Library OCP, USB port, and Ethernet connection.
Verify that each Library has the latest released version of firmware. Update to the latest firmware if necessary. To find the version of firmware installed on the Library, see the RMI Support: Firmware screen. From the MSL4048 or MSL8096 operator control panel (OCP), navigate to the Info > Identity > Library screen. The Library Controller FW Revision field shows the Library firmware revision. From the MSL2024 OCP: 1. From the Home screen, press Next until the display shows Status/Information. Press Enter.
Use the OCP or RMI to open the magazines and remove the tapes from the Library. The magazines with the tapes in them may also be removed from the Library. See the HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048, and MSL8096 user and service guide for instructions on opening or removing the magazines. Powering off the Libraries Press the power button on the front panel to power off each Library as shown in Figure 11, page 31. Figure 11 Library power button .
If either Library is mounted in a tabletop conversion cover, remove the cover and install the Library in the rack in the rack rails supplied with the Library. If either Library needs to be moved, remove the Library and its rack rails from the rack and install the rails and Library in the necessary rack location. NOTE: If the Library Extender is near the rear rack door latch, you might need to move the Libraries to a different rack location to close and latch the rack doors.
Moving the rack rails and clip nuts Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, remove the rails from the rack. For an MSL4048 or MSL8096 also remove the clip nuts. Secure one rail to each side of the rack in the new location. Secure the front and the back of each rail to the rack. The front of the rails is straight and the back is angled as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14 Installing the MSL2024 and MSL4048 rack rails .
Moving the clip nuts For the MSL4048 and MSL8096, replace the clip nuts in the locations shown in Figure 15, page 34. MSL4048 MSL8096 Figure 15 Clip nut locations . 1. Clip nut location 2. Rail screw location 3. Library bottom 4. U marker Installing the Library in the rack rails With assistance, slide the Library onto the metal rails as shown in Figure 16, page 35.
Figure 16 Installing an MSL4048 and tightening the captive screws . Replace tape cartridges and magazines in the Library. Relocating tape drives The Extender is installed in the bottom half-height drive bay of the upper Library and the top half-height drive bay in the lower Library. If a tape drive is installed in either of these drive bays, relocate the tape drive to another drive bay. 1. Verify that the Library is powered off. 2.
3. Pull straight back on the tape drive handle while supporting the bottom of the tape drive to remove it from the Library as shown in Figure 18, page 36. Figure 18 Removing a tape drive . 4. If necessary, remove one or two drive bay covers from the destination drive bay. 5. Slide the tape drive into its new drive bay. Tighten the blue thumbscrews with your fingers to secure the tape drive in the Library.
Figure 20 Installing covers on unused drive bays . Removing the USB device and Ethernet cable from the lower Library Remove the Ethernet cable and USB device from the lower Library as shown in Figure 21, page 37. When the Library Extender is installed, only the Ethernet and USB ports in the upper Library are active. Figure 21 Removing the USB device and Ethernet cable from the lower Library . Extending the pull-out tab On the upper Library, fully extend the pull-out tab containing product information.
Figure 22 Trimming the pull-out tab . Aligning the Libraries Before installing the Extender, the Libraries must be aligned horizontally. Loosen each of the captive screws inside the left and right front bezels in the locations shown in Figure 23, page 38 that attach the Libraries to the front of the rack 1/2 turn. Loosening the screws in this manner allows the Libraries to be aligned horizontally while retaining the necessary reference to the front of the rack.
Figure 24 Aligning the Libraries with the alignment gauge . Gently remove the alignment gauge without moving either of the Libraries. Save the alignment gauge for future use if the Libraries are moved or the Extender is installed with other Libraries. Installing the Extender WARNING! To avoid damage to the Libraries and Extender, verify that both Libraries are powered off before installing the Extender. To install the Extender: 1.
2. When the Extender reaches the pull-out tab, thread the pull-out tab through the slit in the Extender attachment plate so the plastic extension of the pull-out tab is outside of the Extender. This will allow the Extender to seat completely and allow the information on the tab to be viewed after the Extender is installed. Slide the Extender the rest of the way into the Libraries and then slide the pull-out tab into the Library as shown in Figure 26, page 40.
Figure 28 Extended library power buttons . NOTE: The Library Extender receives power from the Libraries; it does not have its own power cord or power button. Allow the extended library to come to the Ready state. This may take several minutes. Checking the Extender LEDs All three Extender LEDs will be green when the Extender is installed correctly and functional. Check the LEDs on the Extender in the locations shown in Figure 29, page 41 to verify that the Extender is operating correctly.
2. Library Extender status Green when the Extender is operating correctly. Flashing when the Extender is initializing or has failed with a hard error and is no longer functional. Initialization can take up to 15 minutes. 3. Lower Library connection status Green when the lower library is powered on and the Extender is installed correctly. Verifying the installation To verify the installation, run the wellness test from the OCP Support > Run Tests screen.
4 Using diagnostic tools and troubleshooting This chapter provides information for verifying that the Extender is properly installed and troubleshooting the Library Extender. If you are installing the Extender for the first time, read this chapter for reference after installing the Extender following the instructions in Chapter 3, page 27. Extender status LEDs The Library Extender has three LEDs that display the Extender's connection and power status. Figure 30 Library Extender status LEDs . 1.
Figure 31 Aligning the Extender tab in the Library slot . The tab on the Extender must be inserted in the slot on the master Library, as shown in Figure 31, for the Extender to seat properly in the connector in the master Library. If the tab is under or to the left of the bracket, the electrical connection will not be completed. • The master and lower Libraries have the current firmware versions. If Library Extender status LED (2), is flashing: • The Library Extender may be initializing.
For complete testing, enable a mailslot and ensure that at least one of the top-row corner slots in one of the Libraries contains a tape cartridge.
