3584 Tape Library Overview
The IBM TotalStorage 3584 Tape Library is part of a family of tape
library storage solutions designed for the large, unattended storage
requirements from today's midrange systems to high-end open systems.
Each aspect of the subsystem is designed to optimize access to data and
reliability. The 3584 Tape Library supports the IBM TotalStorage LTO
Ultrium 1, 2, and 3 Tape Drives and the IBM TotalStorage 3592 Enterprise
Tape Drive. IBM LTO Ultrium tape drives are compact storage devices
designed to support the highly intensive read and write operations
required by today's open system servers.
The IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drive is the third generation of LTO Ultrium
tape drives in the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium family of products.
Ultrium 3 Tape Drives and data cartridges can be resident in same 3584
Tape Library frame with Ultrium 2 or Ultrium 1 Tape Drives and data
cartridges, and adjacent frames can have 3592 Tape Drives and data
cartridges. The 3592 Tape Drives are designed to provide high levels of
performance, functionality, and cartridge capacity supporting the 3592
tape format, including Write Once Read Many (WORM) media support.
The 3584 Library Models L32 and D32 can be equipped with IBM
TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 1, 2, or 3 Tape Drives, the Models L52 and D52
with IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives, and the
Models L22 and D22 with the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592.
The 3584 Models D22, D52, L22, and L52 have a smaller footprint than the
Models D32 or L32, so they take up less floor space. The Ultrium 3 Tape
Drives and data cartridges can be resident in the same 3584 Tape Library
frame with Ultrium 1 or 2 Tape Drives and data cartridges, and adjacent
frames can have 3592 Tape Drives and data cartridges. The 3584 supports
mixed media in the same library by supporting the intermix of the Models
D22, D32, and D52 within a 3584 library. Input/Output (I/O) stations are
located on the Models L22, L32, or L52 to facilitate tape loading and
unloading. The 3584 High Availability Model HA1 may be added to the 3584
Tape Library Base Frame Models L22, L32, or L52. In conjunction with a
service bay feature on the 3584 Model D22 or D52, the Model HA1 provides
for the installation and operation of a second library accessor in a 3584
Tape Library to help improve availability and performance.
The 3584 Tape Library is designed to provide an excellent network data
backup/archive solution. With the granularity and scalability to follow
your requirements from a few servers to hundreds of clients, from
gigabytes to terabytes, this powerful pairing can grow with you, helping
protect your investment.
3584 Tape Library means high performance
The IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drives and 3592 Tape Drives are designed for
high performance in a streaming mode of operation. Automatic data
caching, using an expanded cache memory and read/write buffering,
enhances performance even further. Aggregate library data rates for a
fully configured 3584 Tape Library supports extremely high data transfer
performance.
Cartridge move time within the 3584 Tape Library is typically less
than 3.0 seconds in a single-frame library. The dual-gripper accessor
can retrieve the next cartridge to be mounted, unload the current
cartridge, and load the next cartridge, providing the following potential
benefits as compared to a single gripper:
- Save complete move operations
- Improve overall library performance
- Offer increased redundancy and higher reliability
3584 Tape Library defines high reliability
Leading-edge technology positions the 3592 and IBM LTO Ultrium Tape
Drives as industry leaders. Highly accurate recording is supported by an
exclusive thin-film write module designed by IBM with read-after-write
data verification. Data read is managed by IBM's industry-leading
Magneto Resistive (MR) heads, designed for accuracy, high reliability,
and durability. The 3584 drives and library robotics are
TapeAlert-compatible, providing tape drive, and library error and
diagnostic reporting. Drive cleaning is an automatic function that can
be performed by the library when required by the drive, without requiring
operator intervention.
High granularity in library configurations
Features and capacities are designed to match a wide variety of
customer requirements. You can attach up to 15 Model D22, D32, or D52
Expansion Frames to a Model L22, L32, or L52 Base Frame to tailor the
library to match your system capacity and performance needs. This
provides a cartridge capacity with Ultrium data cartridges of up to 6,887
cartridges, or with 3592 data cartridges of up to 6,260 cartridges You
can intermix cartridges and drive types in different frames and have up
to 192 tape drives in up to 16 total 3584 library frames.
Model D32 (Expansion Frame)
The 3584 Model D32 Expansion Frame is designed for IBM LTO Ultrium
Fibre Channel Tape Drives and LTO data cartridges. Up to 15 Model D32
Expansion Frames may be added to the 3584 Model L22, L32, or L52 Base
Frame to increase LTO cartridge storage or drive capacity. Each Model
D32 supports up to 440 LTO cartridge slots and up to 12 IBM LTO Ultrium
Tape Drives, with an incremental reduction of storage slots for each set
of four tape drives installed. Each frame can have up to 12 logical
libraries or 12 control paths (one per tape drive).
Designed for availability
If you are looking to maximize availability with minimum downtime for
service-related activities, you will appreciate that the library
preserves tape drive configuration settings, such as Fibre Channel World
Wide Node Names (WWNN), when a tape drive is replaced. This helps to
ensure that the replacement drive has the same WWNN as the original drive
and may help avoid the need to re-IPL or reconfigure host systems. Fibre
Channel drives require only a quiesce of the individual drive. Redundant
hot-swap library and drive power supplies can also be replaced without
any impact to host sytems.
ALMS is designed to eliminate outages when adding Capacity On Demand
(COD) storage, adding or removing logical libraries, or when changing
logical library storage allocation. The use of ALMS may also reduce
outages when adding expansion frames, adding or removing tape drives, or
changing logical drive allocation.
A Dual AC Power feature, supporting either 110 Volt ac or 220 Volt ac,
provides a power switch to allow connection of two line cords to two
independent customer branch circuits. This can enhance library
availability by having an alternative power source in case of planned or
unplanned power grid outages.
3584 High Availability Frame Model HA1
The 3584 High Availability Frame Model HA1 is designed to improve the
performance and availability of the 3584 Tape Library. The Model HA1, in
conjunction with service bay features on the 3584 Models D22 and D52,
provide for the installation of a second library accessor that is
designed to operate simultaneously with the first accessor and service
mount requests in the 3584 Tape Library at the same time. It is designed
to non-disruptively failover to a redundant accessor when any component
of either accessor fails, which helps maintain availability and
relibility. Additionally, this design includes the ability to add one or
more Model D52 or D22 Frames to a 3584 Tape Library that has an attached
Model HA1 with minimal disruption.
Dual active accessor support is provided in a mixed media library.
This includes any combination of 3592 and LTO Ultrium media types.
Advanced Library Management Systems (ALMS) will be required for support
of dual accessors and two or more 3584 frames are required in a high
availability configuration.
A dual accessor library will have two garage areas called service
bays. Service Bay A (the 3584 High Availability Frame Model HA1) is to
left of and adjacent to the L-frame, when facing the front door. Service
Bay B (a modified 3584 Model D22 or D52) is to the right of the last
active frame in the library. The service bays will be regular library
frames but they will not have any drives, power supplies, or node cards.
Storage slots within the service bays will only be used to test service
actions.
The actual performance of the 3584 Tape Library is determined by a
number of factors, such as: accessor capacity, number of library frames,
number of tape drives, location of tape drives and tape cartridges, and
tape cartridge residency.
Multi-Path support
The Multi-Path Architecture of the 3584 Tape Library provides the
capability for sharing of the library robotics. This is accomplished by
partitioning the library into up to 192 multiple logical libraries (up to
the number of drives installed), and providing each logical library its
own separate and distinct drive(s), storage slots, and control path(s).
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 different
generations of Ultrium Tape Drives and cartridges, or 3592 Tape Drives
and cartridges, for applications which do not support mixing the drives
in the same logical library.
Advanced Library Management System
The Advanced Library Management System (ALMS) is the next generation
of patented IBM Multi-Path Architecture. ALMS provides a license key to
enable dynamic management of cartridges, cartridge storage slots, tape
drives, and logical libraries. Tape drives can be assigned to any
logical library using a Web user interface. Logical libraries can be
added, deleted, or easily changed non-disruptively. Storage capacity can
typically be changed without any impact to host applications. ALMS is
required when a 3584 High Availability Frame Model HA1 is installed in
the 3584 Tape Library.
Control Path Failover
Two types of path failover capabilities exist: Control Path Failover
(CPF) and Data Path Failover (DPF). Control refers to the command set
that controls the library (the SCSI Medium Changer command set on LUN 1
of the tape drives). Data refers to the command set that carries the
customer data to and from the tape drives (the SCSI-3 Stream Commands
(SSC) device on LUN 0 of the tape drives). Path failover means the same
thing in both: that is, where there is redundancy in the path from the
application to the intended target (the library accessor or the drive
mechanism), the device driver transparently fails over to another path in
response to a break in the active path.
Both types of failover include host-side failover when configured with
multiple host bust adapter (HBA) ports into a switch, but CPF includes
target-side failover through the control paths that are enabled on more
than one tape drive. DPF includes target-side failover for 3592 Tape
Drives only by using the dual-ported interface of the drive.
For enhanced availability you may use CPF. This optional feature is
designed to provide 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 currently provided under AIX, Solaris, and Linux when the IBM
device driver is used. Additional operating systems support will be
provided in the future for installed CPF users.
Data Path Failover and Load Balancing
Data Path Failover (DPF) and Load Balancing exclusively supports
native Fibre Channel Ultrium Tape Drives and 3592 Tape Drives in the 3584
Tape Library using the IBM device driver. Support is currently provided
for AIX, Linux, and Solaris. Additional operating systems support will
be provided in the future for installed DPF users. DPF 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 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, DPF provides
autonomic self-healing capabilities similar to CPF, with transparent
failover to an alternate data path in the event of a failure in the
primary host-side path.
Note: DPF and Load Balancing for Ultrium 3 Tape Drives, or Ultrium 2 Tape
Drives attached to operating systems other than AIX, requires an optional
feature. Load Balancing is not currently supported for Solaris.
Fibre Channel connectivity
Tape drives in the 3584 Tape Library Models D22, D52, L22, and L52 are
designed to connect to host systems using Fibre Channel interfaces. An
LTO Ultrium Tape Drive with a Fibre Channel interface or 3592 Tape Drive
can be selected for attachment to host systems and servers utilizing
Fibre Channel adapters. Fibre Channel connection distances up to 300
meters (at 2-Gbps) are possible. By utilizing selected Fibre Channel
Switches, distances exceeding 300 meters are possible.
Ultrium 3 Tape Drive
The IBM TotalStorage 3588 Tape Drive Model F3A is an IBM Linear
Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 3 Tape Drive designed for the heavy demands of
backup tape storage. The 3588 Tape Drive Model F3A is designed to mount
in an IBM TotalStorage 3584 Tape Library and has a 2-Gbps Fibre Channel
interface for attachment to IBM eServer p5 or pSeries, IBM eServer i5 or
iSeries, IBM eServer xSeries, AS/400, RS/6000, HP, Sun, UNIX, and Intel
servers.
The Ultrium 3 Tape Drive incorporates third-generation IBM LTO Ultrium
technology. It offers the following significant improvements over the
Ultrium 2 Tape Drive:
- 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
eight data tracks at a time, LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges at Ultrium 2
rates, and read LTO Ultrium 1 Data Cartridges at Ultrium 1 rates.
Note: Although the 3588 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.
- 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 LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges and can read LTO Ultrium 1
Data Cartridges.
- 2-Gbps Fibre Channel attachment - The 3588 Model F3A comes with a
2-Gbps Fibre Channel interface 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 - 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 - 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.
- 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 or a 32 MB internal data buffer in the
Ultrium 1 Tape Drive.
- Highly integrated electronics using IBM-engineered copper technology
- 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 generation 3 drive electronics are also
designed to provide "on-the-fly" error correction capability for 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 verses 512 data tracks in Ultrium 2 and 384 data tracks in
Ultrium 1. 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 Ultrium Tape Drive. This method uses the surface of the tape,
rather than the edges, to control tape motion. This helps reduce 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 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, 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 improve
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 - Drive
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 power management function is designed to
control the drive electronics to be either completely turned off or to be
in a low-power mode when the circuit functions are not needed for drive
operation.
- Channel calibration: The channel calibration feature allows for
customization of each read/write data channel to support optimum
performance. The customization enables compensation for variations in
the recording channel transfer function, media characteristics, and
read/write head characteristics.
- Adaptive read equalization - designed to automatically compensate for
dynamic changes in readback signal response.
- Dynamic amplitude asymmetry compensation - designed to dynamically
optimize readback signals for linear readback response from magneto
resistive read head transducers.
- 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, the 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 in cases if such an
append occurs.
- LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC) - The IBM Ultrium Tape Drives use
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 determine 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 IBM Ultrium
Tape Drives use SARS to help isolate 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 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 LTO Ultrium-format tape data cartridges, the 3588
Tape Drive with the 3584 Tape Library can be a cost-effective solution
for backup, save-and-restore, and archiving functions.
Ultrium 2 Tape Drive
The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive offers the following significant improvements
over the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive:
- Maximum tape drive performance is more than doubled, up to 35 MB/sec
native data transfer rate (70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression) when using the
Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge. 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).
- The tape cartridge capacity is doubled up to 200 GB native capacity
(400 GB with 2:1 compression), with the use of the Ultrium 200 GB Data
Cartridge.
High-performance LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridge
The tape cartridge capacity of the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium 400 GB
Data Cartridge has doubled over the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium 2 Data
Cartridge to 400 GB native capacity (800 GB with 2:1 compression). The
Ultrium 2 Data Cartridge has a 200 GB native capacity (400 GB with 2:1
compression) and the Ultrium 1 Data Cartridge has a 100 GB native
capacity (200 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drives
can read and write Ultrium 2 data cartridges, and read Ultrium 1 data
cartridges. IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drives can read and write original
Ultrium 1 data cartridges. Ultrium 3 Tape Drives and cartridges can be
resident in the same 3584 Tape Library frame with Ultrium 1 or 2 Tape
Drives and data cartridges.
LTO Ultrium data 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 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 3584 Tape Library supports the use of Ultrium 1,
Ultrium 2, Ultrium 3, and 3592 data cartridges within the same library.

Technical Description
|
The IBM 3584 Tape Library is a high-performance, reliable, linear
scalable tape library subsystem, designed for tape automation. Tape
drives in the 3584 Tape Library can be attached to i5, iSeries, AS/400,
p5, pSeries, RS/6000, xSeries, Netfinity, Sun, Hewlett-Packard, and other
open systems servers.
The libraries use the IBM LTO Ultrium tape drives for faster data
transfer and certainty in automated library service. Each aspect of the
library subsystem has been optimized for repeated, dependable unattended
tape handling. The dual-gripper accessor solidly moves cartridges within
the library and the IBM LTO Ultrium tape drives. The drives have been
refined using the many years of IBM tape experience to provide extremely
fast data transfer and stands up to the rigors of automated handling.
The IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drives in the 3584 Model D32 have sustained
data rates of up to 80 MB/sec native (up to 160 MB/sec at 2:1
compression). The tape capacity of the LTO Ultrium 3 cartridge is 400 GB
per cartridge in native format, and using LTO-DC (LTO Data Compression)
(2:1) compression is 800 GB. Tape capacity of the LTO Ultrium 2

The 3584 tape library is classified as a Category 1 product as defined
in C-S 1-1710-006. The following table shows the maximum
(operating/idle) Sound Power Level (in bels) and the average 1 meter
bystander Sound Pressure Level (in dB) for a Model L32/D32:
- Sound Power Level (LwAd):
- Idle: 7.4 bels
- Operating: 7.5 bels
- Sound Pressure Level:
- Idle: 50 dB(A)
- Operating: 51 dB(A)
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 (1640 ft.) at 1-Gbps
and 300 m (990 ft.) at 2-Gbps.
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).
LTO Ultrium data cartridges cannot reside in the same library frame
with 3592 data cartridges.
For performance reasons, the AS/400 configurator limits the attachment
to one Ultrium Tape Drive (features #1454, #1455, #1464, #1465, #1474, or
#1475) device per adapter (IOP/IOA). Attaching more than one Ultrium
tape drive on an IOP/IOA is supported, but may have an impact on tape
performance.
Installing more than one IBM LTO Ultrium drive on a SCSI bus may
impact system performance. Intermixing of other SCSI devices on the same
SCSI bus as the 3584 Tape Library may impact performance of those
devices.
Each 3584 Tape Library can be divided into logical libraries (up to
the number of drives).
Each logical library must contain at least one IBM LTO Ultrium tape
drive and one cartridge slot.
The 3584 Tape Library can be attached to i5, iSeries, p5, pSeries,
xSeries, AS/400, RS/6000, RS/6000 SP systems, Netfinity, and non-IBM
servers, workstations, and personal computers that support SCSI HVD, SCSI
LVD, and Fibre Channel interfaces. The 3584 library comes with raven
black covers.
A current list of supported open system configurations for the IBM LTO
Ultrium Tape Drive is available from the following Web site:
- http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/tape/lto
- Select "Product details",
- Then select "LTO compatibility", and under the "Compatibility
information" you can view the supported servers and operating system
information for the product.
When a 3584 Model HA1 is installed in a 3584 Tape Library, the
following feature numbers must be present on one 3584 Model Dxx in that
library (other that the one used as a Service Bay B):
- 1453 - Frame Control Assembly (or feature number 1452 if the frame is
a Model D32)
- 1902 - Additional Power Supply (one is required, but it is
recommended that two of these be present for redundancy)
It is also recommended that the Dual AC Power feature (#1901) be
installed on the Model Lxx and Dxx Frames in a 3584 Tape Library
containing a Model HA1.
Each 3584 Tape Library configuration containing a Model HA1 requires a
different set of X-Track cables for the dual accessors in the library,
depending on the total number of frames in that 3584 Tape Library. The
following feature number must be ordered on the Model Lxx every time the
number of attached frames is changed (either added or removed) in a 3584
Tape Library that has a Model HA1:
- 1840 - Change HA X-Track Cable
This feature number will enable the proper X-Track cables to be
shipped based on the presence of feature number 9040 and the quantity of
feature number 9003 on the Model Lxx Frame.
Note: Feature number 1840 is not required with the first installation of
a Model HA1. It is only required when the number of attached frames is
changed after the installation of the Model HA1.
In a 3584 Tape Library without an attached Model HA1 and the total
number of frames in the 3584 library coming from the plant is going to
number 8 to 14 frames (7 to 13 Expansion Frames), the 7-14 Frame X-Track
Cable will be shipped with the library unless the 8-16 Frame X-Track
Cable feature (#9316) is specified on the Model L22 or L52. The 8-16
Frame X-Track Cable feature (#9316) must be specified on the Model L22 or
L52 if there will be a total of 15 or 16 frames (14 or 15 Expansion
Frames) in the 3584 library without a Model HA1.
When frames are added to a 3584 Tape Library without an attached Model
HA1 as a field upgrade, a new X-Track Cable may be required according to
the following table of total installed frames:
Installed New X-Track Cable
Frame Qty Frame Qty feature number required
--------- --------- ----------------------------
1 - 2 3 - 6 1806
1 - 6 7 1814
1 - 6 8 - 14 1814 or 1816
1 - 14 15 - 16 1816 (if 9316 not installed)
When frames are removed from a 3584 Tape Library without an attached
Model HA1 as a field upgrade, a new X-Track is required according to the
following:
Installed New X-Track Cable
Frame Qty Frame Qty feature number required
--------- --------- -----------------------------
8 - 16 7 1814 (if 9316/1816 installed)
7 - 16 3 - 6 1806
3 - 16 1 - 2 1802
