When one or more Model D42 libraries are attached, an LTO gripper is
paired with a DLTtape gripper to improve cartridge handling capability
using mixed media within the library.

Ultrium 2 Tape Drive

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 18 TB/hour (with 2:1 compression) for a fully
  configured 3584 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).
  

• 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 3584 library can contain up to 496 TB (992 TB with
  2:1 compression), using up to 72 IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives in up to six
  3584 library frames.
  

• 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 if such an append occurs.
  

• Ultrium 1 Cartridge Compatibility - The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can read
  and write on Ultrium 1 cartridges with improved transfer rates.
  

• Wide Attachment Options - The IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives come with
  SCSI Ultra160 LVD, Ultra SCSI HVD, or switched fabric 2 Gbps Fibre
  Channel attachments for connection to a wide spectrum of open system
  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

Proven IBM LTO Ultrium 1 features enhanced in IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape

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.

Guiding Mechanism guides the tape along the tape path in the IBM Ultrium
3580. 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 minimize 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 as users of ALDC.

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.

3584 UltraScalable Library Features Improved Connectivity

The 3584 UltraScalable Tape Library is designed to connect to host
systems using any combination of Fibre Channel and SCSI interfaces.
Customers who wish to use Fibre Channel should choose drive features
#1476 or #1456. Customers with systems using a Ultra160 Low Voltage
Differential (LVD) SCSI interface should choose drive feature #1474.
Customers with systems using a Ultra2/Wide Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
SCSI interface should choose drive feature #1454. Customers with systems
using an Ultra/Wide High Voltage Differential (HVD) interface should
choose drive features #1475 or #1455.

The 3584 library, with drive features #1476 or #1456, supports
connectivity to host systems and servers utilizing Fibre Channel
adapters. Connection distances up to 500 meters are possible, and by
utilizing the IBM 2103 SAN Fibre Channel Storage Hub, or the IBM 2109 SAN
Fibre Channel Switch, or the IBM 3534 SAN Fibre Channel Managed Hub,
distances exceeding 500 meters are possible.

3584 UltraScalable Library Defines High Reliability

Leading-edge technology positions the IBM LTO Ultrium 1 and 2 Tape
Drives as industry leaders. Highly accurate recording is provided 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 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 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 the wide variety of
customer requirements. The Ultrium 1 and 2 Tape Drives can be placed in
either the UltraScalable Tape Library Base Frame 3584 Model L32 or the
UltraScalable Tape Library Expansion Frame 3584 Model D32. You can
tailor the library to match your system capacity and performance needs
from 28 TB to 496 TB (56 TB to 992 TB with 2:1 compression), using up to
72 IBM LTO Ultrium 2 tape drives in six 3584 library frames.

Model D32 (Expansion Frame)

Up to five Model D32 Expansion Frames may be added to the Model L32
Base Frame in order to increase storage or drive capacity. Each Model
D32 frame supports up to 440 storage slots and up to 12 tape drives, with
incremental reduction of storage slots for each set of four drives
installed. A fully configured 3584, with one Model L32 frame and five
Model D32 frames, will support up to 72 tape drives or up to 2841 storage
slots. Each frame can have up to 12 logical libraries or 12 control
paths.

Designed for Availability

Customers looking for maximum availability with minimum downtime for
service-related activities will appreciate the capability for replacing
drives and power supplies without having to re-IPL the host systems.
Fibre Channel drives require only a quiesce of the individual drive,
SCSI-attached drives and control ports require a quiesce of the affected
bus.

A Dual AC Power feature, supporting either 110 Volt ac or 220 Volt ac,
provides two independent line cords that may be connected 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.

Multi-Path Support

The heterogeneous sharing provided by the multi-path feature of the
UltraScalable Tape Library 3584 provides a sharing of the library
robotics. This is accomplished by partitioning the library into up to 72
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). 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.
