7 Use the correct media For best performance we recommend HP branded media. Order online at: http://www.hp.com/go/ storagemedia. In • • • • • this chapter: “Cartridges” on page 47 “Cleaning the tape drive” on page 50 “Write protecting cartridges” on page 51 “Handling cartridges” on page 52 “Operating and storage environment” on page 52 Cartridges Data cartridges HP StorageWorks Tape Blades use Ultrium tape cartridges.
Ultrium 200 GB data cartridge SB1760c Tape Blade not supported Ultrium 400 GB data cartridge Ultrium 800 GB data cartridge Ultrium 1.
HP StorageWorks SB3000c Tape Blades and partitioning The HP StorageWorks SB3000c Tape Blade supports two tape partitions, when used with Ultrium 3 TB R/W cartridges. Tape partitioning is not supported with WORM cartridges or with earlier generations of cartridge. It is not supported on earlier-generation tape drives. If you insert a partitioned tape into a tape drive that does not support partitioning, it will be ejected.
There are two main instances when you will need to know the key: • If you try to import the media to another machine or another instance of the backup application • If you are recovering your system after a disaster What happens if I don't remember the key? CAUTION: You should keep a record or backup of your encryption keys and store them in a secure place separate from the computer running the backup software.
2. The drive will carry out its cleaning cycle and eject the cartridge on completion (which can take up to 5 minutes). During the cleaning cycle the amber Clean LED will be on solidly and the green Ready LED will flash. Each HP Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge (C7978A) can be used up to 50 times with Ultrium tape drives. (The blue HP Ultrium cleaning cartridges, C7979A, can only be used up to 15 times with any tape drive.
1. Write-protect tab Figure 23 Write protecting a cartridge . Handling cartridges • Do not touch the tape media. • Do not attempt to clean the tape path or tape guides inside the cartridge. • Do not leave cartridges in the drive. The tape loses tension in the power-off state, which can lead to problems, particularly if the drive has been moved. • Store cartridges in a vertical orientation. • Do not leave cartridges in excessively dry or humid conditions.
Tapes intended for long-term storage should be stored in the plastic containers, at temperatures between 5° C and 23° C (41° F and 73° F) and 20% to 60% relative humidity.
Use the correct media
8 Using HP OBDR In • • • • • this chapter: “Compatibility” on page 55 “What does HP OBDR do?” on page 55 “Remote disaster recovery (ProLiant servers only)” on page 56 “Testing for compatibility” on page 56 “Running HP OBDR” on page 56 Compatibility HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, HP OBDR, is a standard feature on all HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Blades. However, it can only be used with specific configurations.
Remote disaster recovery (ProLiant servers only) The HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE) on ProLiant servers gives the IT Administrator the ability to completely recover a failed server at a remote location without physically traveling to where the server resides. The on-site non-technical person need only insert the bootable cartridge into the tape drive when asked to do so by the administrator. Refer to the HP OBDR web site at http://www.hp.
2. Power on the blade server for approximately 3 seconds then power off. This will reset the Tape Blade. Immediately hold down the eject button on the tape drive to invoke OBDR. Release the button as soon as the Ready LED on the front panel flashes in the OBDR sequence. This is a repeated flashing pattern. Once the Tape Blade is in OBDR mode, power on the blade server again. Figure 25 Keeping eject button pressed down, power on in OBDR mode .
Using HP OBDR
9 Troubleshooting Read this chapter for information about: • • • • When the Tape Blade does not power up, page 59 Management and Diagnostic tools , page 60 Problems with cartridges, page 61 “Encryption troubleshooting” on page 63 NOTE: For information about troubleshooting using Tape Blade and tape drive LEDs, see “Understanding LEDs” on page 37.
Management and Diagnostic tools HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator is the management and diagnostic tool for the Tape Blade assembly. HP TapeAssure and HP Library & Tapetools provides diagnostic and troubleshooting tools for the tape drive. Onboard Administrator HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base used to support the HP BladeSystem c–Class enclosure and all the managed devices contained within the enclosure.
2. Once you have selected your device you have a number of choices for troubleshooting. • Device identification: shows part number, serial number and information about any cartridge loaded. • Firmware upgrade: allows you to locate and upgrade to the latest firmware. To check for and download the latest firmware from the HP web site, the server on which Library and Tape Tools is running must have an internet connection.
2. Wait for the cartridge to be ejected. This process may take up to 10 minutes (the maximum rewind time). It is important that you allow sufficient time for the drive to complete this process. If you interrupt it, you may damage the media or the tape drive. The drive is then reset as though you had turned the power off and then on again. You may lose data if you force eject a cartridge. The tape may also become unreadable because an EOD (End of Data) mark may not be properly written. 3.
Encryption troubleshooting • Ensure that you are using an HP StorageWorks SB3000c or SB1760c Tape Blade and Ultrium 3 TB or 1.6 TB media, respectively. • Ensure that your software supports hardware encryption. It may be necessary to update the software. Consult http://www.hp.com/go/connect or your software vendor for more information. • Ensure that the correct key or pass phrase has been entered. • Ensure that your HBA supports the encryption commands. It may be necessary to update the firmware.
