1 Installing the autoloader Autoloader features and requirements The unique design of the 1/8 Tape Autoloader has the drive in the center with slots rotating around it. This design houses up to eight cartridges in a compact 2U form factor.
Maximum storage capacity and data transfer rate Maximum storage capacity and maximum data transfer rates for each 1/8 Tape Autoloader model are as follows: 1/8 Ultrium Tape Autoloaders Table 2 Characteristic Specification Maximum storage capacity, 8 data cartridges Native: 800 GB (8 x 100 GB) Compressed: 1.6 TB (2:1 compression) Maximum data transfer rate Native: 15 MB/s (54 GB/hr.) Compressed: 30 MB/s (108 GB/hr.
Table 6 Ultrium 960 Tape Autoloader specifications Characteristic Specification Maximum storage capacity, 8 data cartridges Native: 3.2 TB (8 x 400 GB) Compressed: 6.
The 1/8 Tape Autoloader is NOT compatible with a standard differential (Diff) or High-Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI bus. The autoloader is compatible with a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus using a 68-pin to 50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18 pins (NOT included with the autoloader). These adapters are sometimes labeled high-byte termination. NOTE: HP does not recommend connecting any of the Ultrium or SDLT 320 Tape Autoloaders to a 50-pin adapter as this will degrade performance.

Choosing a location Choose a location that meets the following criteria: Table 9 Location criteria Criteria Definition Standalone requirements Select a location that is flat, sturdy, level, and close to a host server. Do not place the autoloader on the floor or other carpeted surfaces. Do not place the autoloader on its side, upside down, or stack items on top of the autoloader.
Unpacking the autoloader Before you begin, clear a work surface to unpack the autoloader. Select an open 2U computer rack location or choose a desktop location near the host server. CAUTION: If the temperature in the room where the autoloader will be installed varies by 30 degrees F (15 degrees C) from the room where the autoloader was stored, allow the autoloader to acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before opening the shipping container. Unpacking the autoloader: 1.
Identifying product components Confirm that you have received the following: • SCSI cable • SCSI terminator • Power cable • Documentation kit • Documentation CD • Installation Poster • HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation Instructions • HP Worldwide Warranty • HP Safety Guide Rack mount kit (optional) If you purchased the optional rack mount kit, verify that you have received the following components: Figure 4 Rack mount kit components 16 Number Description 1 Screws and clip nuts 2 Mounti
Installing the autoloader into a rack (optional) The autoloader fits all standard 19-inch racks, taking up 2U of space. To install the autoloader into a rack, install the mounting brackets on both sides of the autoloader and the rails in the selected rack location. To install the autoloader: 1. Use a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws near the front on each side of the autoloader cover (see Figure 5). 2.
4. Slide the autoloader onto the rails and secure the mounting bracket to the rack using the screws and clip nuts from the rack mount kit (see Figure 7). Figure 7 Sliding the autoloader into the rack slot and securing the mounting bracket SCSI host bus adapters (HBAs) To get optimum performance from your 1/8 Tape Autoloader you need a SCSI bus that can transfer data at a rate that supports the Tape Autoloader’s maximum burst transfer speed, see ”Maximum storage capacity and data transfer rate” on page 10.
LUN scanning The HP StorageWorks 1/8 Ultrium 960, Ultrium 448 and Ultrium 232 Tape Autoloaders and the DLT VS80 Tape Autoloader use a single SCSI ID and dual LUNs to control the tape drive (LUN 0) and autoloader robotic (LUN 1). These models require an 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 just see the tape drive. Some HBAs, such as RAID controllers, do not support LUN scanning.
NOTE: The host bus adapter should be LVDS. A SE SCSI host bus adapter will work, but will severely degrade performance. If there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade performance. Never attach the Ultrium 960 Tape Autoloader to a SE SCSI bus.
Preparing the host and verifying the connection Follow these general guidelines: • Connect to a suitably-rated HBA, see ”SCSI host bus adapters (HBAs)” on page 18. Remember that if there are any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade performance. • When the host server is powered on, install software and/or driver(s) that are compatible with the autoloader. Software compatibility information is available at www.hp.com/go/automated.
Installing the autoloader
2 Operating the autoloader Operator’s panel overview The operator's panel consists of four LEDs, four buttons, and a 2-line by 16-character LCD screen. The operator's panel provides everything you need to monitor autoloader status and control all of its functions. The display defaults to the Home screen. The Home screen consists of the autoloader status on the top line and the current cartridge inventory on the second line.
Exporting the indicated cartridge will clear the error condition. See ”Exporting tape cartridges” on page 31. If these symptoms occur on multiple known-good cartridges, consider cleaning the tape drive. See ”Cleaning the tape drive” on page 34. If a particular cartridge causes these symptoms repeatedly, that cartridge may be defective or invalid. If the tape drive has a cartridge loaded, the top line displays: Drive ready or Drive loaded.
Table 10 LEDs LED Color Description Media Attention Amber Illuminated if the tape drive has detected a cartridge or tape fault. Recommended action is to export the cartridge from the autoloader. Doing so turns off the LED. See ”Exporting tape cartridges” on page 31. If a particular cartridge causes these symptoms repeatedly, that cartridge may be defective. Error Red Illuminated if an unrecoverable tape drive or autoloader error occurs.

4 Diagnostics and troubleshooting Using HP Library & Tape Tools to diagnose problems With HP Library & Tape Tools installed on the host server • Identify all SCSI devices connected to your system • View detailed configuration, identification, inventory, and drive information for the autoloader • Easily update autoloader and drive firmware • Run advanced diagnostic tests, including connectivity, read/write, media validation, and testing the functionality of the autoloader • View autoloader and drive error
Troubleshooting Installation problems Problems encountered during the installation of the autoloader are usually caused by improper SCSI bus configuration, application software configuration errors, or an incorrectly configured operating system.
• Compatibility: Ensure that the autoloader is compatible with the SCSI host adapter and backup application you plan to use. For a list of compatible SCSI adapters and application software, check with your SCSI host adapter manufacturer, backup application vendor, or the HP support website at www.hp.com/support. NOTE: The host bus adapter for the 1/8 Ultrium 232, Ultrium 448, Ultrium 460, Ultrium 960 and SDLT 320 Tape Autoloaders should be SCSI-3 LVDS.
Troubleshooting table Table 19 Troubleshooting table Problem Solution Power Autoloader does not power on. • Check all power cord connections. • Make sure the power switch on the front panel is in the ON position. • Make sure there is power to the outlet. Try another working outlet. • Replace the power cord. • Contact your service representative. No display messages appear. • Make sure the power cord is connected. • Make sure the power switch is on. • Power cycle the autoloader.
Problem Solution Media Cleaning or data cartridge incompatible with drive. Make sure you are using data and cleaning cartridges that are compatible with the drive and model of your autoloader (see ”Cartridge type” on page 28). The autoloader automatically unloads incompatible cartridges, the Media Attention LED flashes, and an exclamation point (!) displays in the inventory display for the indicated slot number. You will need to export the media in order to clear the state.
Problem Solution Device Not Detected on SCSI Bus Connected to a high voltage differential SCSI bus/host adapter • Attach device to a LVDS SCSI host adapter/bus. • SCSI cable length exceeded, use shorter cable, or remove other devices from the bus. • Check for conflicting SCSI IDs. • DLT VS80, Ultrium 232, Ultrium 448 and Ultrium 960 models: check that the HBA supports LUN scanning and this feature is enabled. • Device not properly terminated. See ”Installation problems” on page 48.
Problem Solution SCSI ID Changed drive SCSI ID, but the host server does not recognize the new ID. • Make sure that all SCSI devices on the same bus have unique ID numbers. • If the SCSI bus is narrow (50-pin) only SCSI IDs 0 through 7 are available. • Make sure that you cycle power on the autoloader after changing the SCSI ID. • Reboot the host server. Autoloader Performance The autoloader is not efficiently backing up data. • Check the network bandwidth from the host computer.
Problem Solution Media Attention LED Issues Contamination by loose debris. Avoid contamination by ensuring that the autoloader is installed in a clean, contamination-free environment. Cartridges should be stored vertically in their plastic cases. Continue cleaning the tape drive as needed. Non-acclimated media A cartridge should be acclimated for at least 24 hours before being used, particularly if it has been stored at a substantially different temperature or level of humidity than the autoloader.
Removing stuck tapes from slots NOTE: Contact your HP support representative if a cartridge is stuck in the drive. In the event of a severe mechanical problem with the autoloader or circumstances require you to remove cartridges: 1. Move the power switch on the front panel to the OFF position. You may need to use the tip of a pen or similar item to move the power switch. 2. Remove the power cable and SCSI cables from their connectors on the back panel of the autoloader.
