System Description 1-3 The SmartScale Storage architecture gives you a truly scaleable library that can smoothly expand to meet your growing storage needs. You can start with a system configured to your present requirements, confident that as your storage needs evolve, adding units and extending the PTM can easily modify the Library. Add drives for faster performance or magazine space for greater capacity, as needed.
1-4 Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series Library Reference Guide In a library system with many drives, it might be desirable to use multiple SCSI buses for the drives so the data transfer rate of the drives is not limited by bus bandwidth. Individual drives can be connected to separate hosts. Using special software, one of the hosts can act as a master server, processing all robotics commands and permitting several hosts to share a common database.
System Description 1-5 SCSI Configuration The Library standard SCSI interface is a Fast/Wide LVD/SE using high-density, 68-pin D-series connectors. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Installation.” SCSI Bus Performance Considerations Drives With a standard Fast/Wide SCSI interface, each drive offers a sustained native data transfer rate of 6 MB/s. In a two-drive unit, the total native rate is twice these rates.
1-6 Compaq StorageWorks SSL2000 Series Library Reference Guide Bus Length Limitations A single-ended Fast/Wide SCSI bus is limited in length to 10 ft (3 m), including cabling within the units. A differential Fast/Wide SCSI bus can be up to 82 ft (25 m) in length, including cabling within the units. If all devices and host adapter are LVD, length is limited to 39 ft (12 m).
