(#0500) Library and Drive Code Update


This feature provides an update to the microcode firmware
of an installed
3584 library and the tape drives. Newer microcode firmware levels may be
required when adding new functions or attaching tape drives in the
library to new environments. For more details on minimum required
levels refer to the IBM LTO or 3592 Web sites referenced in the
the Hardware Requirements section.

  • Maximum: None
  • Installation: Field Only

(#1501) Fibre Drive Move Kit


This feature includes a Fibre-capable fixed sled, power supply,
and LC/LC drive-to-drive patch panel cable and coupler
for installing a LTO Fibre tape drive canister feature (#1479 or
#1665) removed from a 3584 Model D52 or L52.
The drive can be reinstalled with the Drive Reinstall feature #1665.


  • Feature type: Chargeable
  • Minimum: Zero
  • Maximum number of plant or field features: 12 per frame
  • Installation: Field only

(#1608) Mixed Media Model D22 Support


This feature provides an optimized gripper so the 3584 Model L32
accessor can support both LTO and 3592 cartridges within the same
3584 library. In addition, it provides an additional 16
input/output (I/O) slot station for 3592 data cartridges.
It is for a 3584 Model L32 with LTO and 3592 mixed media
requirements in the library. The additional I/O slots provide the
capability to insert or remove 3592 data cartridges in addition to the
insert or remove of LTO data cartridges with the standard I/O station
in the Model L32.


  • Feature type: Chargeable
  • Required feature: When a Model D22 is in the string of
    Expansion Frames attached to the Model L32
  • Maximum number of features: One
  • Prerequisite: Cannot have feature #1657 installed
  • Installation: Field only

(#1681) Data Path Failover


This optional feature provides automatic
data path failover and load balancing for native
Fibre Channel Ultrium 2 Tape Drives
in the UltraScalable Tape Library 3584 using the IBM Linux Device Driver.
This data path failover is designed to provide error recovery to
enable a retry of the current operation using an alternate,
preconfigured path in a SAN environment without aborting the current
job in progress.
When accessing a tape drive device that has been configured with
alternate pathing across multiple host ports, the IBM Linux Device Driver
is designed to automatically optimize resources to 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. With this feature, support is provided for Fibre Channel
attachments when the IBM Linux device driver is used.

Note: Data Path Failover support for AIX or for 3592 Tape Drives
does not require this feature.


  • Feature type: Chargeable
  • Required feature: No
  • Prerequisites: Feature #1680
  • Maximum number of features: One
  • Customer Setup: Yes
  • Installation: Plant or Field

(#1690) Advanced Library Management System


This feature provides a license key to enable dynamic
management of cartridges, storage slots, tape drives, and logical
libraries. Tape 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.


  • Feature type: Chargeable
  • Required feature: No
  • Maximum number of features: One
  • Customer Setup: Yes
  • Installation: Plant or Field
