Increased open systems tape drives Tape drives in each 3494 Model Dxx Frame can now connect to an Ethernet Attached Serial Hub (EASH) feature instead of by a serial cable back to the LM in the 3494 Base Frame Model Lxx. Each pair of EASH devices can support up to the maximum number of drives in the 3494 Tape Library Dxx Frame they reside in, and communicate via an Ethernet interface back to the LM in the 3494 Base Frame Model Lxx. A total of 96 open systems tape drives can communicate via the EASH interface. Combined with the 32 open systems tape drives that can communicate via the serial interfaces of the LM in the 3494 Model Lxx Frame, a total of 128 open systems tape drives may now be attached to a single 3494 Tape Library. To attach the Tape Drives to the EASH, the following features must be installed: On each 3494 Model Dxx or Lxx Frame with tape drives: 5184 (Ethernet Attached Serial Hub) - one per frame on a 3494 Model D12, D22, L12, or L22, which provides two EASH devices in each frame for redundancy. On each 3494 Model Lxx and HA1 Frame with an EASH anywhere in the library: 9184 (EASH Enablement) - this must be on the Model L10, L12, L14, or L22, and on the Model HA1 if feature #5184 is installed in a Model Dxx or Lxx Frame, to enable an EASH connection on the LM. 5232 (Attachment Concentrator) - provides the internal attachment to the LM. 5246 (Dual Path Concentrator) - is also required for EASH attachment to provide a dual path to the drive helping eliminate a Single Point of Failure (SPOF) and Single Point of Repair (SPOR). An LM that was shipped after May 15, 2000, or one of the following features on the Model Lxx: 5047 or 9047 (LAN PCI Library Manager) 5046 or 9046 (PCI Library Manager) 9020 (Model B20, B10, or B18 VTS Attachment) A pair of Ethernet cables is provided from the LM to each frame with EASH devices. 21,522c603,605 alt="Back to top"/>Back to top 25c608,609 cellpadding="0" summary="layout"> 44,545c628,630 alt="Back to top"/>Back to top 48c633,634 cellpadding="0" summary="layout"> 51c637,638 summary="layout"> 53c640,641 alt="TOC Link"/> 56c644,645 alt="TOC Link"/> 59c648,649 alt="TOC Link"/> 65,867c955,956 the Model D14 Frame with the Model A60 or J70 Controller to be included based on the number of drives installed in this frame. the Model D14 Frame with the Model A60 or J70 Controller to be included based on the number of drives installed in this frame. 82a972,994 (#4084) Adjacent Frame 2Gb 3590 This feature provides the hardware and installation instructions to support attachment of 3590 Tape Drives with Fibre Channel Attachment (features #3510 or #9510) in a 3494 Model L12 or D12 Frame to a 3592 Model J70 Controller with the 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch in an adjacent Model D14 Frame. In a adjacent frame fibre attachment, up to 10 3590 Tape Drives with Fibre Channel Attachment can be attached to the Model J70, four in the Model D14 Frame and up to two in a Model L12 or six in Model D12 Frames.
