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 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 L22 (Base Frame)
The 3584 Model L22 Base Frame is designed for 3592 Model J1A Tape
Drives and 3592 data cartridges. The Model L22 Base Frame has 58 to 260
cartridge slots and support for up to 12 tape drives with an incremental
reduction of storage slots for more than four drives or with the
additional I/O station installed. This model has a smaller footprint
than the Model L32. The 3584 Model L22 is designed with an optimized
gripper for use with LTO or 3592 tape cartridges. Up to 12 logical
libraries (one per tape drive) can be configured for each frame.
Each Model L22 library has a standard 16-slot cartridge I/O station
for importing or exporting 3592 tape cartridges from the library without
requiring a re-inventory. An additional 16-slot cartridge I/O is
optionally available for either LTO or 3592 data cartridges. Libraries
containing a mixture of LTO and 3592 drive technologies must have one LTO
I/O station and one 3592 I/O station. For bulk loading of tape
cartridges, the library door can be opened. Each time the library door
is closed, a bar code reader mounted on the autochanger scans the
cartridge labels enabling a re-inventory of the cartridges in the library
frame in typically less than 60 seconds. A door lock is included to
restrict physical access to cartridges in the library.
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. Today
support is 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. Today support is 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.
3592 Tape Drive
The 3592 Model J1A Tape Drive has a native data rate of up to 40
MB/sec. With the use of the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Cartridge
3592, it provides a native cartridge capacity of up to 300 GB (900 GB
with 3:1 compression). It uses an optimal dynamic compression method
called byte level compression scheme swapping which is designed to
achieve maximum data compression, and unlike other tape drive compression
methods, it is designed to prevent data expansion. The 3592 Model J1A
Tape Drive is designed for automation and uses a tape cartridge with a
form factor similar to the 3590 and 3480 tape cartridges.
The 3592 Model J1A Tape Drive has dual-ported 2-Gbps native switched
fabric Fibre Channel interfaces. This offers attachment flexibility in
an open systems environment. The drives can be directly attached to open
systems servers with Fibre Channel attachments. The 3592 Model J1A uses
SARS to assist in isolating failures between media and hardware. It is
designed to use the cartridge performance history saved in the cartridge
and drive performance history kept in the drive to determine the more
likely cause of failure. It is designed to cause the drive to mark the
media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware has degraded.
The 3592 Model J1A also has additional enhancements that may help
improve performance, capacity, and availability including:
- Large 128 MB internal data buffer
- Digital speed matching to adjust the drive's native data rate to the
net host data rate (after data compressibility has been factored out)
throughput performance.
- Channel calibration which is designed to allow for customization of
each read/write data channel for optimum performance
- High resolution tape directory plus enhanced search speed to improve
nominal and average access times
- Streaming Lossless Data Compression (SLDC) algorithm which is
designed to offer an improvement over previous IBM lossless compression
algorithms
Refer to the 3592 Model J1A Sales Manual for more information.
3592 Tape Cartridge
The 3592 Model J1A uses the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Cartridge
3592, which contains an advanced metal particle tape specifically
optimized for the enterprise tape environment, providing a native
cartridge capacity of up to 300 GB (or up to 900 GB with 3:1
compression). This can be very beneficial in space savings and economy
of data storage since it can help lower the cost of storage per megabyte.
For applications that fill current data cartridges, this can help reduce
the number of tape cartridges required. The reduced number of cartridges
may also help free up floor space for other requirements.
The robust 3590-style cartridge shell is designed to sustain a 1 meter
drop. The cartridge has a similar form factor as the 3590 and 3490 tape
cartridges. It contains cartridge memory that is a passive, contactless
silicon storage device. It is used to hold information about the
specific cartridge, including the VOLSER, the media in the cartridge, and
the drive.
Economy cartridges with a native cartridge capacity of up to 60 GB (or
up to 180 GB with 3:1 compression) are available. In addition, WORM
cartridges in both sizes are available. 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 3584 Tape Library is a high-performance, reliable, 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 Model L22 uses 3592 Model J1A Tape Drives with a dual-ported
2-Gbps Fibre Channel interface for fast access and high capacity,
performance, and reliability in automated library service. Each aspect
of the library subsystem has been optimized for repeated, dependable
unattended tape handling. The optimized dual gripper accessor moves
cartridges within the library and the tape drives. The 3592 Tape Drives
is designed for environments that require reliable, high performance tape
support for backup, restore, archive, and data interchange.
The 3592 Model J1A Tape Drives in the 3584 Model L22 have sustained
data rates of up to 40 MB/sec native. The tape capacity of the 3592 data
cartridge is 300 GB per cartridge in native format (900 GB with 3:1
compression).
Cartridge slot capacity of the Model L22 is 58 to 260 cartridge slots
with incremental reduction of capacity beyond four tape drives or with an
additional I/O station installed. Data capacity is 17 to 78 TB in native
mode and 52 to 234 TB in compressed (3:1) mode. The Model L22 supports
plant or field installation of up to twelve Fibre Channel attached 3592
Model J1A Tape Drives.
The 3584 Tape Library can have up to 192 tape drives and be configured
to have up to 192 control paths and up to 192 logical libraries. The
library contains the electronics and logic for autochanger operations.
Each 3592 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 3584 Tape Library has its own power
and cooling components.

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 L22:
- Sound Power Level (LwAd):
- Idle: 7.2 bels
- Operating: 7.5 bels
- Sound Pressure Level:
- Idle: 53 dB(A)
- Operating: 57 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.
Although multiple systems may be attached to a 3592 Model J1A Tape
Drive, the systems cannot use the drive simultaneously. The 3592 Model
J1A can only be varied online to one system at a time.
LTO Ultrium data cartridges cannot reside in the same library frame
with 3592 data cartridges.
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. The 3584 Tape Library
Expansion Frame Model L22 takes less floor space than the Model L32. It
comes with raven black covers, and has a look and feel consistent with
other IBM TotalStorage products. The Model L22 can contain up to 12 of
the 3592 Tape Drive Model J1A per frame. The 3592 Tape Drives have a
dual-ported 2-Gbps Fibre Channel interface.
For the latest details on specific hardware, software, and Fibre
Channel support for the 3592, refer to the following Web site:
- http://www.storage.ibm.com/tape/drives/3592/3592opn.pdf
The cartridge storage capacity of the Model L22 or L52 can be expanded
by enabling the Capacity On-Demand features in that frame. An
Intermediate Capacity feature (#1641 or #1643) is required to add a Full
Capacity feature (#1642 or #1644). The Full Capacity feature (#1642 or
#1644) is required to add an Additional I/O Slots feature (#1658 or
#1659), or to attach the optional Expansion Frame Models D22, D32, or
D52.
One First Expansion Frame Attachment feature (#9002) or one Additional
Expansion Frame Attachment feature (#9003) must be added to the 3584
Model L22 or L52 for each Model D22, D32, or D52 frame that is attached.
This assures the proper cables are shipped and configuration records are
correct. Up to 15 Model D22, D32, or D52 Expansion Frames can be
attached to the Model L22 or L52, for a total of 16 frames without a
Model HA1 in the 3584 Tape Library. One additional Model D22 or D52 can
be attached when a Model HA1 is present, for a total of 18 frames.
When a 3584 Model HA1 is installed in a 3584 Tape Library, the
following feature numbers must be added to the 3584 Model L22, L32, or
L52 in that library:
- 1690 - Advanced Library Management System (if not already present)
- 9003 - Additional Expansion Frame Attachment (at least one additional
frame to serve as Service Bay B)
- 9040 - High Availability Library
A 3584 Model D22 or D52 must be ordered with the Model HA1 to provide
the second accessor and serve as the Service Bay B for that accessor. It
must be ordered with the following feature:
- 1440 - Service Bay B Configuration and Second Accessor
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 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

(#1680) Control Path Failover
This optional feature provides a license key that enables automatic
control path failover functions for tape drives in the 3584 Tape Library
using the IBM device driver. This 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 provided under AIX, Linux, and
Solaris when the IBM device driver is used.
- Feature type: Chargeable
- Required feature: No
- Prerequisites: None.
- Maximum number of features: One
- Customer Setup: Yes
- Installation: Plant or Field
(#1681) Data Path Failover
This optional feature provides a license key that enables automatic
data path failover and load balancing for tape drives in the 3584 Tape
Library using the IBM device driver for AIX, Linux, and Solaris.
Note: This feature is not required to provide this function for 3592 Tape
Drives, or Ultrium 2 Tape Drives on AIX. 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.

drives can be easily assigned to any logical library using a Web user
interface. Logical libraries can be added, deleted, or changed
non-disruptively. The assignment of inserted cartridges to a logical
library can be set manually, by the software application, or by user
defined policies. Storage capacity can be changed without any impact to
host applications.

X-Track Cables
The proper X-Track Cable is required for proper operation of the
library based on the number of Model D22, D32, or D52 Expansion Frames
attached to the Model L22. Each 3584 Tape Library configuration
containing a Model HA1 requires a different set of X-Track cables for the
dual accessors in the library. The proper X-Track cables depends on the
total number of frames in that 3584 Tape Library. When Expansion Frames
are added or removed from a 3584 Tape Library without an attached Model
HA1, a different X-Track Cable may be required. The MES that includes
the addition of the X-Track Cable feature (#1802, #1806, #1814, #1816, or
#1840) must also include the appropriate addition or removal of the
Additional Expansion Frame Attachment feature (#9003) to reflect the
correct number of frames attached to the Model L22.
When frames are added as a field upgrade to a 3584 Tape Library
(without an attached Model HA1), a new X-Track Cable may be required
according to the following table of total installed frames:
