the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive.
The IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Drive 3580 combines IBM tape
reliability and performance at open systems prices. Features of the
Ultrium 2 models include:
Data transfer rate more than doubled, up to 35 MB/sec native (up to
70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression)
Tape capacity doubled, up to 200 GB native per cartridge (400 GB with
2:1 compression)
SCSI Ultra160 LVD and UltraSCSI HVD attachment
Enhanced features over Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 1 in digital
speed matching, power management, channel calibration, filemark writing,
internal buffer size, and faster drive speeds
The IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Drive 3580 Models H23 and
L23 offer high capacity, performance, and technology designed for
the midrange open systems environment. These models incorporate the new
Linear Tape-Open (LTO) IBM TotalStorage Ultrium 2 Tape Drive,
which more than doubles tape drive performance over the generation 1 LTO
Ultrium Tape Drive (Ultrium 1), up to 35 MB/sec native data transfer rate
(70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression). In addition, with the use of the new
IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge, the Ultrium 2 Tape
Drive doubles the tape cartridge capacity up to 200 GB native capacity
(400 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives can read and
write original LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges at original Ultrium 1
capacities and with improved performance up to 20 MB/sec native data
transfer rate (40 MB/sec with 2:1 compression).
Other Ultrium 2 Tape Drive enhancements:
Digital speed matching - to adjust the drive data rate with the host,
which reduces backhitching and improves throughput performance
Power management - to reduce power consumption
Channel calibration - to customize each read/write data channel for
optimum performance
Separate writing of multiple filemarks - to improve performance when
writing multiple files
Larger internal buffer - the internal buffer size has been doubled
over the Ultrium 1 to 64 MB
Faster drive speeds - faster data access time, reduced rewind time,
reduced cartridge load time, and faster cartridge fill time
The Ultrium Tape Drive 3580 is an external stand-alone or
rack-mountable unit, similar to previous models of the 3580, and is the
entry point for the family of IBM Ultrium tape products. The 3580
Ultrium Tape Drive provides an excellent migration path from digital
linear tape (DLT or SDLT), 1/4-inch, 4mm, or 8mm tape drives.
The IBM Ultrium Tape Drive 3580 is an external stand-alone
rack-mountable unit and contains a Linear Tape-Open (LTO) tape drive
designed for the heavy demands of backup tape storage. It is supported
for Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) attachment to iSeries,
AS/400, pSeries, RS/6000, xSeries, Netfinity, HP, Sun, UNIX, and PC
servers.
The Ultrium Tape Drive 3580 Models H23 and L23 incorporate the IBM LTO
Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. The IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive is the second
generation LTO Ultrium Tape Drive in the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium
family of products. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive offers the following
significant improvements over the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive:
Tape drive performance is more than doubled, up to 35 MB/sec native
data transfer rate (70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 2 Tape
Drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges at
original Ultrium 1 capacities and with improved performance up to 20
MB/sec native data transfer rate (40 MB/sec with 2:1 compression).
Note: Although the Ultrium Tape Drive 3580 provides the capability for
high tape performance, other components of the system may limit the
actual performance achieved. Also, although the compression technology
used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data that can
be stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is
highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.
The tape cartridge capacity is doubled over the original Ultrium Data
Cartridge up to 200 GB native capacity (400 GB with 2:1 compression),
with the use of the new IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data
Cartridge. Both cartridges have been designed to provide several
enhancements over previous tape technologies. They are designed to work
with tape drives that have increased tape speeds and high-density data
recording. The tape itself is an advanced metal particle tape developed
for durability and capacity.
Digital speed matching - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive will perform
dynamic speed matching to adjust the drive's native data rate as closely
as possible to the net host data rate (after data compressibility has
been factored out). This provides the dual benefit of reducing the
number of backhitch repositions and improving throughput performance.
Power management - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive power management function
controls the drive electronics to be either completely turned off or to
be in a low-power mode. These power modes occur only when the circuit
functions are not needed for drive operation.
Channel calibration - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive channel calibration
feature allows for customization of each read/write data channel for
optimum performance. The customization enables compensation for
variations in the recording channel transfer function, media
characteristics, and read/write head characteristics.
Separate writing of multiple filemarks - Separate writing of multiple
filemarks causes any write command of two or more filemarks to cause a
separate data set to be written containing all filemarks after the first.
This feature has two advantages, first it improves performance if a
subsequent append overwrites somewhere after the first filemark. Second,
write of multiple filemarks typically indicates a point where an append
operation might occur after the first of these filemarks. This change
prevents having to rewrite datasets containing customer data and the
first filemark in cases if such an append occurs.
Ultrium 1 cartridge compatibility - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can read
and write on Ultrium 1 cartridges with improved transfer rates.
SCSI Ultra160 LVD and UltraSCSI HVD attachment - The Model L23 comes
with a SCSI Ultra160 LVD attachment, while the Model H23 comes with a
UltraSCSI HVD attachment, for connection to a wide spectrum of open
system servers. They are supported on AIX, OS/400, Sun Solaris, HP-UX,
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows NT, Linux, and other open systems.
Larger internal data buffer - There is a 64 MB internal data buffer
in the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive as compared to a 32 MB internal data buffer
in the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive.
Faster cartridge fill times (for both Ultrium 1 and Ultrium 2 data
cartridges) - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can fill an Ultrium 2 200 GB data
cartridge 12% faster, with a sustained data rate 128% better when
compared to the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive filling an Ultrium 1 100 GB data
cartridge. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can fill an Ultrium 1 100 GB data
cartridge 25% faster, with a sustained data rate 33% better, when
compared to the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can fill
an Ultrium 2 200 GB data cartridge in 1 hour 44 minutes with a sustained
data rate of 122.8 GB/hr. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can fill an Ultrium 1
100 GB data cartridge in 1 hour 29 minutes with a sustained data rate of
71.9 GB/hr. The Ultrium 1 Tape Drive can fill an Ultrium 1 100 GB data
cartridge in 2 hours with a sustained data rate of 53.8 GB/hr.
Faster data access, rewind, and load times - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive
has the following improvements:
Ultrium 2 Ultrium 1
---------- -----------
Cartridge Load Time 10 seconds 15 seconds
Maximum Rewind Time 80 seconds 110 seconds
Average File Access Time 46 seconds 73 seconds
Proven IBM LTO Ultrium 1 features enhanced in IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape
Drive include:
Servo and track layout technology - There are 512 data tracks in
Ultrium 2 verses 384 data tracks in Ultrium 1.
Surface Control Guiding Mechanism - IBM's patented Surface Control
Guiding Mechanism guides the tape along the tape path in the IBM Ultrium
3580 Tape Drive. This method uses the surface of the tape, rather than
the edges, to control tape motion. This results in less tape damage
(especially to the edges of the tape) and less tape debris, which comes
from the damaged edges and can accumulate in the head area.
Magneto Resistive (MR) head design - Use of flat lap head technology
in MR heads for Ultrium 2 minimize contact and wear on the tape as it
moves over the read/write heads.
LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC) - The Ultrium 2 uses LTO-DC which is an
implementation of a Lempel-Ziv class 1 (LZ-1) data compression algorithm.
LTO-DC is an extension of Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) and
an improvement over previous lossless compression algorithms. Users of
LTO-DC can expect to achieve better data compression as users of ALDC.
LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) - Contained within the LTO Ultrium data
cartridge is the LTO-CM, which is a passive, contactless silicon storage
device that is physically a part of the cartridge. The LTO-CM is used to
hold information about that specific cartridge, the media in the
cartridge, and the data on the media. The storage capacity of the LTO-CM
is 4,096 bytes. Communication between the drive and the LTO-CM is via a
low-level RF field transmitted by the drive to the cartridge.
Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS) - The Ultrium 2 Tape
Drive uses SARS to assist in isolating failures between media and
hardware. The SARS use the cartridge performance history saved in the CM
module and the drive performance history kept in the drive flash EEPROM
to determine the more likely cause of failure. SARS can cause the drive
to request a cleaner tape, to mark the media as degraded, and to indicate
that the hardware has degraded.
With support for IBM LTO Ultrium-format tape data cartridges, the 3580
Ultrium Tape Drive provides an excellent migration path from digital
linear tape (DLT or SDLT), 1/4-inch, 4mm, or 8mm tape drives. They are a
cost-effective solution for backup, save-and-restore, and archiving
functions as the entry point for the family of IBM Ultrium tape products.
