with the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge and
up to 200 GB native capacity (400 GB with 2:1 compression) with the
IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge, and drive
performance is up to 80 MB/sec native data transfer rate (160 MB/sec with
2:1 compression) with the IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drives and up to 35
MB/sec native data transfer rate (70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression) with
the IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drives. The Ultrium 3 Tape Drives come in 2
Gbps switch Fabric Channel and LVD Ultra160 SCSI interfaces to attach to
a wide spectrum of open system servers. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drives come
in 2 Gbps switched fabric Fibre Channel, LVD Ultra160 SCSI, or HVD Ultra
SCSI interfaces to attach to a wide spectrum of open system servers.
The 3582 Tape Library has two 7-cartridge removable cartridge
magazines, a bar code reader, and the patented Multi-Path architecture to
partition the library into two logical libraries. The library can be
configured as a stand-alone desktop unit or can be mounted in an
industry-standard 19-inch rack. Optional features include Control Path
Failover, Data Path Failover, and a Remote Management Unit/Specialist for
remote library management.
The 3582 Tape Library can be used in network-attached storage
implementations, including backups and mass storage archives where
multi-terabyte capacities are required. IBM LTO Ultrium technology is
designed for the heavy demands of automated tape systems. This proven
tape technology has enhanced digital speed matching, power management,
channel calibration, servo technology, track layout, head design, error
correction codes, and data compression. The results are increased
capacity, performance, and reliability in automated tape systems.
Storage and tape management for the 3582 is provided by software such as
Tivoli Storage Manager and other compatible software offerings.
The 3582 Tape Library is an excellent choice if you are:
- Experiencing growth in online storage requirements
- Considering an entry tape automation solution for your data storage
needs
- Considering an Ultrium tape solution
Single-drive units can be upgraded to accommodate two drives.
3582 Features
Each 3582 Tape Library has an operator control panel on the front with
a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and a 5-button keypad. The keypad
controls navigation through the library menu for displaying status
information and error codes on the LCD. From this panel the operator can
initiate actions such as moving and loading tape cartridges or invoking
diagnostics. The 3582 has two removable magazines. A key lock provides
front door locking.
The IBM 3582 is designed for either stand-alone desktop operation or
rack mount installation into an ANSI/EIA standard 19-inch rack with four
EIA units of space. A Remote Management Unit/Specialist option allows
network control of the Ultrium Tape Library 3582 operations.
The IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drive supports the Ultrium 400 GB Data
Cartridge, which is designed for increased tape speeds and high-density
data recording
The IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive supports the Ultrium 200 GB Data
Cartridge, which is designed for increased tape speeds and high-density
data recording.
Ultrium 3 Tape Drives
The 3582 Tape Library supports the IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drive. The
IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drive is the third-generation LTO Ultrium tape
drive in the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium family of products. The
Ultrium 3 Tape Drive offers the following significant improvements over
the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive:
- Increased performance - Maximum tape drive throughput data rate
performance is more than doubled, up to 80 MB/sec native data transfer
rate. Data tracks are now written 16 at a time. IBM Ultrium 3 Tape
Drives can read and write, at 8 data tracks at a time, LTO Ultrium 2 Data
Cartridges at Ultrium 2 capacities and rates, and read LTO Ultrium 1 Data
Cartridges at Ultrium 1 capacities with improved rates.
Note: Although the Ultrium Tape Drive provides the capability for
excellent 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.
- Larger capacity - The tape cartridge capacity is doubled over the
Ultrium 2 Data Cartridge up to 400 GB native physical capacity (800 GB
with 2:1 compression), with the use of the new IBM TotalStorage LTO
Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge. This is achieved by increasing the linear
density, the number of tape tracks, and the media length. The tape
itself is an advanced metal particle tape developed to help provide
durability and capacity.
- Ultrium 2 cartridge compatibility - The Ultrium 3 Tape Drive can read
and write on Ultrium 2 cartridges.
- Attachment options - the IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drive comes with a SCSI
Ultra160 LVD or switched native fabric 2 Gbps fabric channel attachments
for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers. They are
supported on AIX, OS/400, i5/OS, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Microsoft Windows
2000, Windows 2003, Linux, and other open systems.
- New dual-stage 16-channel head actuator - The actuator is designed to
provide precision head alignment to help support higher track density and
improved data integrity.
- New independent tape loader and threader motors and positive pin
retention - These are designed to help improve the reliability of loading
and unloading a cartridge, and to retain the pin even if tension is
dropped. With an independent loader motor coupled with the positive pin
retention, the tape threads with a higher level of reliability.
- Dynamic amplitude asymmetry compensation - Readback signals are
dynamically optimized for linear readback response from magneto resistive
read head transducers.
- Larger internal data buffer - There is a 128 MB internal data buffer
in the Ultrium 3 Tape Drive as compared to a 64 MB internal data buffer
in the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive.
- Highly integrated electronics using IBM engineered copper technology
- This technology is designed to reduce the total number of components in
the drive, lower chip temperatures, and reduce power requirements,
helping to provide for a more reliable drive. The third-generation drive
electronics also incorporate on-the-fly error correction of soft errors
in the memory arrays in data and control paths.
- Graceful dynamic braking - In the event of power failure, reel motors
are designed to maintain tension and gradually decelerate instead of
stopping abruptly, helping reduce tape breakage, stretching, or loose
tape wraps during a sudden power-down.
Proven IBM LTO Ultrium features enhanced in IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape
Drive include:
- Servo and track layout technology - There are 704 data tracks in
Ultrium 3 versus 512 data tracks in Ultrium 2. The high-bandwidth servo
system features a low-mass servo to help more effectively track servo
bands and improve data throughput with damaged media in less-than-optimal
shock and vibe environments.
- Surface Control Guiding Mechanism - IBM's patented Surface Control
Guiding Mechanism is designed to guide the tape along the tape path in
the IBM 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 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 3 helps minimize contact, debris accumulation,
and wear on the tape as it moves over the read/write heads.
- Digital speed matching - The Ultrium 3 Tape Drive is designed to
perform dynamic speed matching (at one of five speeds, 40, 50, 60, 70, or
80 MB/sec) 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 helps reduce the number of backhitch repositions and improves
throughput performance. Speed matching on Ultrium 3 ranges from 40 to 80
MB/sec versus 17.5 to 35 MB/sec on Ultrium 2.
- Robust drive components optimized for automation environments - The
drive was designed using some of the most robust components available,
such as: 1) all metal clutch, 2) steel ball bearings in loader, 3)
robust leader block design, 4) single circuit card, to help enhance
reliability and prolong the life of the drive.
- Power management - The Ultrium 3 Tape Drive power management function
is designed to control the drive electronics to be either completely
turned off or in a low-power mode when the circuit functions are not
needed for drive operation.
- Adaptive read equalization - The drive automatically compensates for
dynamic changes in readback signal response.
- Separate writing of multiple filemarks - Separate writing of multiple
filemarks is designed to cause 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 helps improve
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 helps prevent having to rewrite datasets containing customer
data and the first filemark if such an append occurs.
- LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC) - The Ultrium 3 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 IBM lossless compression algorithms. IBM's
patented "Scheme-Swapping" compression is designed to look ahead at
incoming data, and determines the most efficient storage method (either
ALDC or pass-thru mode) to help provide optimal data compression and
increased data throughput.
- 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 3 Tape
Drive uses SARS to help isolate failures between media and hardware. The
SARS uses the cartridge performance history saved in the CM module and
the drive performance history kept in the drive flash EEPROM to help
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 3582
Tape Library provides an excellent migration path from digital linear
tape (DLT or SDLT), 1/4-inch, 4mm, or 8mm tape drives.
Ultrium 2 Tape Drives
The 3582 Tape Library supports 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). Aggregate library
data rates of up to 464 GB/hour (with 2:1 compression) for a fully
configured two-drive 3582 library allow extremely high data transfer
performance. 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 IBM Ultrium Tape Drive provides the capability for
high tape performance, the actual throughput is a function of many
components, such as system processor, disk data rate, data block size,
data compressibility, I/O attachments, and the system or application
software used. For example, the HVD Ultra SCSI interface has a maximum
data transfer rate of 40 MB/sec, so Ultrium Tape Drives on that SCSI
interface will have a lower data transfer rate. The compression
technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data
that can be stored on the media; however, the actual degree of
compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the
data being compressed.
- The tape cartridge capacity is doubled up to 200 GB native capacity
(400 GB with 2:1 compression), with the use of the new Ultrium 200 GB
Data Cartridge. The 3582 library can contain up to 4.8 TB (9.6 TB with
2:1 compression), using up to two IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives.
- 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 where such an append occurs.
- Attachment Options - The IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives come with LVD
Ultra160 SCSI, HVD Ultra SCSI, or switched fabric 2 Gbps Fibre Channel
attachments for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers.
- 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
Proven IBM LTO Ultrium 1 features enhanced in the IBM LTO Ultrium 2
Tape Drive include:
- Servo and track layout technology - There are 512 data tracks in the
Ultrium 2 tape format versus 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
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 Tape Drive minimizes contact and wear on the
tape as it moves over the read/write heads.
- LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC) - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive 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 the SARS to assist in isolating failures between media and
hardware. The SARS uses 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. The SARS can cause
the drive to request a cleaner tape, to mark the media as degraded, and
to indicate that the hardware has degraded.
Multi-Path Support
The patented Multi-Path function of the Ultrium Tape Library 3582
supports a sharing of the library robotics. This is accomplished by
partitioning the library into two multiple logical libraries and
providing each logical library its own separate and distinct drive,
control path, and storage slots. The input/output (I/O) slot is shared
on a first-come-first-served basis. This type of partitioning allows
heterogeneous applications to share the library robotics independent of
each other. Cartridges under library control are not shared between
logical libraries, nor allowed to be moved between logical libraries. An
example of heterogeneous sharing is a Windows 2000 application using the
drive and storage slots of one logical library while a UNIX application
uses the drive and slots of another logical library.
Control Path Failover
For enhanced availability you can use Control Path Failover. This
optional feature provides automatic control path failover to a
preconfigured redundant control path in the event of a loss of a host
adapter or control path drive, without aborting the current job in
progress. Support is provided under AIX, LINUX, and Solaris for both
SCSI and Fibre Channel attachments when the IBM tape device drive is
used.
Data Path Failover and Load Balancing
Data Path Failover and Load Balancing exclusively supports native
Fibre Channel Ultrium 3 Tape Drives 3582 Tape Library using the IBM tape
device driver for AIX, Linux, and Solaris. Note: Load
Balancing is not supported on Solaris. Data path failover is designed to
provide a failover mechanism in the IBM device driver, which enables you
to configure multiple redundant paths in a SAN environment. In the event
of a path or component failure, the failover mechanism is designed to
automatically provide error recovery to retry the current operation using
an alternate, preconfigured path without aborting the current job in
progress. This allows you flexibility in SAN configuration,
availability, and management.
When accessing a tape drive device that has been configured with
alternate pathing across multiple host ports, the IBM device driver
automatically selects a path through the host bus adapter (HBA) that has
the fewest open tape devices, and assigns that path to the application.
This autonomic self-optimizing capability is called Load Balancing. The
dynamic load balancing support is designed to optimize resources for
devices that have physical connections to multiple HBAs in the same
machine. The device driver is designed to dynamically track the usage on
each HBA as applications open and close devices, and balance the number
of applications using each HBA in the machine. This may help optimize
HBA resources and improve overall performance. Further, Data Path
Failover provides autonomic self-healing capabilities similar to Control
Path Failover, with transparent failover to an alternate data path in the
event of a failure in the primary host-side path. Data Path Failover and
Load Balancing for Ultrium 3 Tape Drives requires the Control Path
Failover feature.
High-Performance Tape Cartridge
The tape cartridge capacity of the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium 400 GB
Data Cartridge has doubled over the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium 200 GB Data
Cartridge to 400 GB native capacity (800 GB with 2:1 compression). Both
cartridges have been designed to provide several enhancements over
previous tape technologies. They work with tape drives that have
increased tape speeds and high-density data recording. The case is
specially designed for use in automated libraries and is designed for
repeated, unattended, trouble-free handling. The tape itself is an
advanced metal particle tape developed for durability and capacity.

Technical Description
|
The 3582 Tape Library Model L23 is an entry automated tape library
incorporating high-performance IBM LTO Ultrium 3 or Ultrium 2 Tape Drives
for the mid-range open systems environment. The 3582 Library can be
attached to IBM eServer i5 and iSeries, IBM eServer p5 and pSeries,
zSeries Linux, AS/400, RS/6000, Netfinity, Microsoft Windows 2000,
Microsoft Windows 2003, Sun, Hewlett-Packard and other open systems using
SCSI attachment or Fibre Channel attachment. The 3582 library is
available in both stand-alone desktop and rack mount environments.
The Model L23 Library contains from one to two IBM LTO Ultrium 3 or
Ultrium 2 Tape Drives. It contains 23 cartridge slots and a 1-slot I/O
station providing a native library capacity of up to 9.6 TB (19.2 TB with
2:1 compression). Tape capacity for Ultrium 3 cartridges is 400 GB (800
GB with 2:1 compression and 200 GB per cartridge for Ultrium 2 cartridges
in native format, and using (2:1) compression is 400 GB. One Ultrium 3
or Ultrium 2 Tape Drive is required and one additional drive is available
for factory or field installation. A Bar Code Reader is standard for
reading data cartridge labels, although the library can function with
unlabeled cartridges.
Each Ultrium 3 Tape Drive attached to a server using LVD Ultra160 SCSI
or Fibre Channel attachment. The library control unit contains the
electronics and logic for autochanger operations. Each tape drive
contains the electronics and logic for reading and writing data, control
of the tape drive, management of the data buffer, and error recovery
procedures. The 3582 Tape Library has its own power and cooling
components.
Each Ultrium 2 Tape Drive attaches to a server using a LVD Ultra160
SCSI, HVD Ultra SCSI, or Fibre Channel attachment. The library control

Although the compression technology can increase the amount of data
stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly
sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.
Fibre Channel cable lengths are limited to 500 m (1650 ft) for 1 Gbps
link attachment and 300 m (984 ft) for 2 Gbps link attachment.
Total LVD SCSI cable length is limited to 25 m (81 ft) using
point-to-point interconnection (for example, one host connected to only
one tape drive). Total LVD SCSI cable length is 12 m (39 ft) using
multi-drop interconnection (for example, one host connected to more than
one tape drive on the same SCSI bus). Stub length at each device must
not exceed 0.1 m (0.33 ft).
Total HVD SCSI cable lengths are limited to 25 m (81 ft.) using
point-to-point or multi-drop interconnection. Stub length at each device
must not exceed 0.2 m (0.66 ft).
Data transfer rates on the SCSI bus can be affected by the amount of
IBM Ultrium Tape Drives attached to the bus. For optimal performance, it
is recommended that no more than two IBM Ultrium Tape Drives be attached
to an individual SCSI bus.
Installing more than one IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drive on a SCSI bus may
impact system performance. Intermixing of other SCSI devices on the same
SCSI bus as the 3582 Tape Library may impact performance of those
devices.
The 3582 Tape Library operating environment must not conflict with
media operating and storage requirements. If media is stored in the 3582
Tape Library for more than ten hours the media storage temperature
requirements must be met.
The 3582 Tape Library can be attached to the IBM eServer i5 and
iSeries, IBM eServer p5 and pSeries, xSeries, AS/400, RS/6000, Netfinity,
zSeries Linux, and non-IBM servers, workstations, and personal computers
that support SCSI HVD, SCSI LVD, and Fibre Channel interfaces. The 3582
library comes with raven black covers.
The 3582 Tape Library can be configured for stand-alone desktop
operation by ordering the Stand-alone Kit feature (#2200) which comes
with raven black covers. Alternatively, the 3582 can be configured for
mounting in a standard 19-inch EIA equipment rack with Rack Mount Kit
feature (#7003).
The 3582 Tape Library contains a maximum of two IBM LTO Ultrium 3 or
Ultrium 2 Tape Drives. The IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drives come with a HVD
Ultra/Wide SCSI High Voltage Differential interface, a LVD SCSI Ultra160
Low Voltage Differential interface, or a Fibre Channel interface. The
IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, with the desired interface is chosen by
selecting at least one of the following features. A minimum of one of
drive feature (#8103, #8104, or #8105) must be specified on a new 3582
library.
Note: These features can not be intermixed. Each feature can be ordered
by specifying quantity one or two.
- 8103 - LTO Ultrium 2 LVD Drive Sled-which includes one IBM LTO
Ultrium 2 Tape Drive with the LVD SCSI Ultra160 Low Voltage Differential
interface
- 8104 - LTO Ultrium 2 HVD Drive Sled - which includes one IBM LTO
Ultrium 2 Tape Drive with the HVD Ultra/Wide SCSI High Voltage
Differential interface
- 8105 - LTO Ultrium 2 Fibre Drive Sled - which includes one IBM LTO

The Remote Management Unit/Specialist feature (#1660) provides a web
based browser interface through the Remote Management Unit (RMU) Ethernet
port for remote library management. The RMU supports all operator panel
functions as well as the ability to download robotics and drive firmware,
and also upload error and event log information. This feature is
required when a Fibre Channel drive feature (#8105 or #8205 for Ultrium 2
Fibre Drives), (#8035 or #8036 for Ultrium 3 Fibre Drives) is installed.
The Control Path Failover feature (#1680) is an optional feature that
provides automatic control path failover to a pre-configured redundant
control path in the event of a loss of a host adapter or control path
drive, without aborting the current job in progress. Refer to the
Special Features section of the 3582 Sales Manual for more
detailed information.
The Data Path Failover feature (#1681) exclusively supports native
Fibre Channel Ultrium 3 Tape Drives 3582 Tape Library using the IBM
device driver. Data path failover is designed to provide a failover
mechanism in the IBM device driver, which enables you to configure
multiple redundant paths in a SAN environment. In the event of a path or
component failure, the failover mechanism is designed to automatically
provide error recovery to retry the current operation using an alternate,
preconfigured path without aborting the current job in progress. This
allows you flexibility in SAN configuration, availability, and
management.
When accessing a tape drive device that has been configured with
alternate pathing across multiple host ports, the IBM device driver
automatically selects a path through the host bus adapter (HBA) that has
the fewest open tape devices, and assigns that path to the application.
This autonomic self-optimizing capability is called Load Balancing. The
dynamic load balancing support is designed to optimize resources for
devices that have physical connections to multiple HBAs in the same
machine. The device driver is designed to dynamically track the usage on
each HBA as applications open and close devices, and balance the number
of applications using each HBA in the machine. This may help optimize
HBA resources and improve overall performance. Further, Data Path
Failover provides autonomic self-healing capabilities similar to Control
Path Failover, with transparent failover to an alternate data path in the
event of a failure in the primary host-side path. Data Path Failover and
Load Balancing for Ultrium 3 Tape Drives requires an optional feature.
The appropriate power cord will be shipped based on country code. If
a different power cord is desired, then a power cord feature number
should also be specified.
The 3582 Tape Library with the Ultrium 3 or Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can
be attached to the IBM eServer i5 and iSeries, IBM eServer p5 and
pSeries, xSeries, AS/400, RS/6000, RS/6000 SP systems, Netfinity, and
