offerings.
The Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 is an excellent choice if you
are:
- Experiencing growth in online storage requirements
- Considering a tape automation solution for your data storage needs
- Considering an IBM Ultrium tape solution
Scalable Automation
The Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 is a stand-alone automated tape
library designed for desktop operation. With an optional feature, the
3583 can be mounted in an industry-standard ANSI EIA-310-D 19-inch rack
using 14 EIA units of space. The libraries use the IBM LTO Ultrium Tape
Drives for faster data transfer and reliability in automated library
service. The tape handling mechanism is designed to reliably move
cartridges to IBM Ultrium tape drives within the library. A bar code
reader is included with each library model to enable reading the
cartridge labels.
The Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 is designed for easy expansion.
It can accommodate from one to six IBM LTO Ultrium 1 or 2 Tape Drives and
from 18 to 72 cartridges. The 3583 has cartridge slot storage capacities
of 18, 36, and 72 cartridges in the Models L18, L36, and L72
respectively. The 3583 Models L18 and L36 can be field upgraded to
increase their capacity up to 72 cartridges and six drives. Cartridge
expansion is in increments of 18 cartridges. One IBM Ultrium drive is
required and 5 additional drives are available for factory or field
installation. Upgrade features are modular units that are easy to
install.
The Ultrium Tape Drives in the 3583 utilize IBM LTO Ultrium tape
cartridges, designed for increased tape speeds and high-density data
recording. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive supports the Ultrium 200 GB Data
Cartridge, with 200 GB native capacity (400 GB with 2:1 compression).
The 3583 library can contain up to 14.4 TB (28.8 TB with 2:1
compression), using up to six IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives and Ultrium 200
GB data cartridges. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drives and cartridges can be
resident in the same Ultrium Tape Library 3583 frame with original
Ultrium 1 Tape Drives and Ultrium 100 GB Data Cartridges. Both
cartridges have been designed to provide several enhancements over
previous tape technologies. The cartridge 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.
The maximum data capacity of the Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583
depends on the model and type of tape drive as shown in the following
table:
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Model | Ultrium 1 | Ultrium 2 |
| | Native/Compressed | Native/Compressed |
|----------------------|-------------------|-------------------|
| L18 - 18 Cartridges | 1.8 TB / 3.6 TB | 3.6 TB / 7.2 TB |
| L36 - 36 Cartridges | 3.6 TB / 7.2 TB | 7.2 TB / 14.4 TB |
| L72 - 72 Cartridges | 7.2 TB / 14.4 TB | 14.4 TB / 28.8 TB |
----------------------------------------------------------------
The tape library input/output (I/O) station enables cartridges to be
inserted and removed without disrupting library operation. The 3583
library comes standard with a one-cartridge I/O station on Models L18 and
L36, or a 12-cartridge I/O station on Model L72. Models L18 and L36 can
be upgraded to a 12-cartridge I/O station with an optional feature
(#8012). The I/O station can be defined as I/O slots or data storage,
and the definition affects the number of cartridges available for data
storage. Refer to the table below for the various combinations and
resulting cartridge storage capacities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Each IBM Ultrium 3583 Scalable Tape Library has a display on the front
panel that is used for displaying status and error codes. An operator
control panel with an LCD display is on the front of the machine and
provides status information and menu options. From this panel the
operator can initiate actions such as moving and loading tape cartridges
or invoking diagnostics. A key lock provides front door locking. For
customers requiring extra redundancy in their storage operations, an
additional DC power supply option is available.
Remote Management Unit/Specialist
The Remote Management Unit (RMU) comes standard in every library. The
RMU/Specialist enables network access to the library through a Web
browser, for more detailed status and control. Library status can be
sent to the network as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps.
All library operator panel functions can be accessed using the
Specialist.
Multi-Path Support
The patented Multi-Path feature of the Ultrium Tape Library 3583
supports sharing of the library robotics. This is accomplished by
partitioning the library into up to three multiple logical libraries, and
providing each logical library its own separate and distinct drive(s),
storage slots, and control path(s). Input/output (I/O) slots are 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 Microsoft 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.
Logical libraries can also be used for separating Ultrium 1 Tape
Drives and cartridges from Ultrium 2 Tape Drives and cartridges, for
applications that do not support mixing the drives in the same logical
library.
Control Path Failover
For enhanced availability you may 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 initially limited to AIX for Fibre Channel
attachments and requires usage of the IBM Atape device driver.
Ultrium Tape Drives
The Ultrium Tape Library 3583 supports the IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape
Drive in addition to the Ultrium 1 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 significant improvements over the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive.
The Ultrium Tape Drives in the 3583 feature data compression hardware
using an adaptation of IBM's Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC).
The tape drive data rate depends on the model and type of tape drive
installed. 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. The Ultrium 1 Tape
Drives have LVD Ultra2/Wide SCSI or HVD Ultra SCSI interface attachments.
The SCSI Ultrium 1 LVD Tape Drive can attach to a Fibre Channel network
through an optional SAN Data Gateway Module feature (#8005). Multiple
drives offer enhanced functions such as faster transfer of data,
simultaneous backup, concurrent read/write operations, and fault
tolerance. The maximum data rates for the IBM LTO Ultrium 1 and 2 Tape
Drives are shown below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Ultrium Tape Drive Model | Native Data Rate | Compressed Data Rate |
|--------------------------|------------------|----------------------|
| Ultrium 1 Tape Drive | 15 MB/second | 30 MB/second |
| Ultrium 2 Tape Drive | 35 MB/second | 70 MB/second |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Aggregate library data rates of up to 1.4 TB/hour (with 2:1
compression) for a fully configured six-drive 3583 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 of up to 20 MB/sec native data
transfer rate (40 MB/sec with 2:1 compression).
In addition to higher performance and capacity, the IBM LTO Ultrium 2
Tape Drive offers the following additional improvements over 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
Ultrium 2 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 minimizes 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 than 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 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. SARS can cause the
drive to mark the media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware
has degraded.

Technical Description
|
The Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 is a high-performance,
reliable, scalable tape subsystem. Designed for tape automation, the
Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 can be attached to iSeries, AS/400,
pSeries, RS/6000, xSeries, Netfinity, zSeries Linux, Microsoft Windows
NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 2003, SunSPARC,
Hewlett-Packard and other open systems using SCSI attachment. The IBM
3583 utilizes the patented Multi-Path architecture, allowing homogeneous
or heterogeneous open systems servers to share the library robotics. The
libraries use the IBM Ultrium Tape Drives for faster data transfer and
reliability in automated library service. Each aspect of the library
subsystem has been optimized for repeated, reliable unattended tape
handling.
The tape handling mechanism reliably moves cartridges within the
library and the IBM Ultrium tape drives. The IBM Ultrium tape cartridges
have been refined using the many years of IBM tape experience to provide
a tape cartridge that provides extremely fast data transfer, but stands
up to the rigors of automated handling.
Ultrium 2 Tape Drive capacity is up to 200 GB per cartridge in native
format, and using compression is up to 400 GB (with 2:1 compression).
The Ultrium 2 Tape Drives have sustained data rates of up to 35 MB/sec
native and up to 70 MB/sec (at 2:1 compression). The drive burst data
rate is up to 160 MB/sec.
Cartridge capacity of the Model L18 is 18 cartridges, the Model L36 is
36 cartridges, and the Model 72 is cartridges. Models 18 and 36 can be
field upgraded to hold 72 cartridges. One IBM Ultrium drive is required
and five additional drives are available for factory or field
installation.
Models L18 and L36 have a single cartridge I/O station for tape
cartridges which can optionally be upgraded to a 12-cartridge I/O
station. The Model L72 has the 12-cartridge I/O station as standard
equipment.
Data rates depend on the tape drive, host attachment interface, data
structure, operating system, system hardware, and the ability of the
application to maintain this throughput. Installing more than two IBM
Ultrium tape drives on a single SCSI bus may adversely affect data
transfer rates.
The Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 attaches to a server using a
SCSI adapter or Fibre Channel Adapter. The library control unit contains
the electronics and logic for autochanger operations. Each IBM Ultrium
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 Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 has its own
power and cooling components.

Compatibility
The IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drives can read and write original IBM LTO
Ultrium Data Cartridges. The new LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridges can
only be used on the new IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drives. However, IBM LTO
Ultrium 2 Tape Drives and cartridges can be resident in the Ultrium
Scalable Tape Library 3583 with IBM LTO Ultrium 1 Tape Drives and
cartridges.
Fibre Channel cable lengths are limited to 500 m (1650 ft).
Total LVD SCSI cable length is limited to 25 m (81 ft) using
point-to-point interconnection (e.g. one host connected to only one tape
drive). Total LVD SCSI cable length is 12 m (39 ft) using multi-drop
interconnection (e.g. 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).
All drives installed at the plant are IBM Ultrium Tape Drives and are
installed sequentially beginning at position one.
Data transfer rates on the SCSI bus can be affected by the amount of
IBM Ultrium drives attached to the bus. For optimal performance, it is
recommended that no more than two IBM Ultrium drives be attached to an
individual SCSI bus.
The weight of the 3583 Scalable Tape Library is over 200 pounds.
Several 3583s could be mounted in a rack enclosure and a tipping hazard
could be created. Customers are advised to take necessary safety
precautions when mounting multiple 3583 libraries.
Installing more than one Ultrium drive on a SCSI bus may impact system
performance. Intermixing of other SCSI devices on the same SCSI bus as
the 3583 may impact performance of those devices.
The Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 operating environment must not
conflict with media operating and storage requirements. If media is
stored in the 3583 for more than ten hours, the media storage temperature
requirements must be met.
The Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 can be attached to iSeries,
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. It is a stand-alone automated tape
library designed for desktop operation and comes with raven black covers.
The 3583 can optionally be mounted in an industry-standard ANSI EIA-310-D
19-inch rack with the Rack Mount Option (#8006). ;p.The Ultrium Scalable
Tape Library 3583 contains a maximum of six IBM LTO Ultrium 1 or 2 Tape
Drives. A minimum of one of drive feature (#8003, #8004, #8103, #8104,

AS/400, pSeries, RS/6000, xSeries, Netfinity, Sun, and other open systems
servers supporting Fibre Channel attachment through the San Data Gateway
Module feature (#8005).
Note: It is not recommended that the LTO Ultrium 2 Fibre Drive Sled
(#8105) be installed in the same 3583 library with the San Data Gateway
Module feature (#8005).
The 3583 has initial cartridge slot storage capacities of 18, 36, and
72 cartridges in the Models L18, L36, and L72 respectively. The 3583
Models L18 and L36 can be field upgraded to increase their capacity by
adding the 18-slot Tape Storage Columns feature (#8007) and upgrading the
1-cartridge I/O Station with the 12-cartridge I/O Station (#8012). These
features are included as standard equipment on the Model L72.
The patented Multi-Path feature (#1450 or #9450) provides multi-host
support for homogeneous or heterogeneous systems. This feature also
provides the capability to partition the 3583 into up to three logical
libraries. This feature is required on all 3583 libraries that will
contain an Ultrium 2 Tape Drive.
Note: Feature #9450 will become mandatory for all plant orders shipped
after June 13, 2003. Until this date, feature #9450 cannot be ordered
with Ultrium 1 Tape Drives (#8003, #8004).

- Feature type: Chargeable
- Required feature: No
- Prerequisite: None
- Maximum number: One
- Installation: Plant or field
- Customer Setup: No
(#1680) Control Path Failover
This optional feature 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. Support is initially limited to AIX for Fibre Channel
attachments and requires usage of the IBM Atape device driver.
- Feature type: Chargeable
- Required feature: No
- Prerequisites: Feature #1450 or #9450.
- Maximum number of features: One
- Installation: Plant or Field
(#1681) Data Path Failover and Load Balancing
Data Path Failover and Load Balancing exclusively supports native
Fibre Channel Ultrium 3 and Ultrium 2 Tape Drives in the
3583 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.
- Feature type: Chargeable
- Required feature: No
- Prerequisites: Control Path Failover (#1680)
- Maximum number of features: One
- Installation: Plant or Field

Power Architecture Kit is included at no extra cost as part of feature
#8005 when ordered as an MES. During the installation process, the
service personnel will also install feature #8005.
Note: A feature conversion is available concurrently with this feature,
providing conversion of existing model 8004 drives to model 8003 drives,
usable with the SAN Data Gateway Module. The feature is intended to
