HP StorageWorks 15 The OCP features a menu system for determining library status, configuring the library, and performing certain diagnostic functions (see Figure 3).
1 1 OCP buttons 2 Green LED 2 Figure 3 OCP The OCP consists of the following features (see Table 2): Table 2 OCP features Feature Description OCP The OCP displays library status information and allows you to access the library menus. These menus allow you to view or change the library settings, run demonstration programs, or run diagnostic tests. The OCP is discussed in Using the OCP.
1 2 1 Picker assembly 2 Vertical motor Figure 4 Library robotics The vertical and horizontal motors move the library robotics into position to pick and place tape cartridges, and rotate the assembly 180˚ to allow the library robotics to pass cartridges between the side storage bins and the back storage bins or tape drives. The extension axis assembly is on top of the large robotics tray. It extends and retracts the library robotics to remove and insert the tape cartridges into bins and drives.
Switch for the internal network CAUTION: Do not connect this switch to your local LAN. It is for internal library use only. Connecting this switch to the LAN could cause library components to perform incorrectly or report failures. The 24-port Ethernet switch provides a private management network to connect the Interface Manager card to the LTO4 tape drives. You must install one switch in each library that contains LTO4 tape drives. The ESL library uses a ProCurve Switch 2124.
the data cartridge with a cleaning cartridge. When the cleaning procedure finishes, the media picker returns the data cartridge to the drive. NOTE: Ultrium cleaning cartridges have a 50-use limit, while SDLT cleaning cartridges have a 20-use limit. Once a cleaning cartridge has reached its use limit it must be replaced. If the drive continues to request cleaning after a cleaning cartridge has been loaded, replace the cleaning cartridge with a new one.
Ultrium tape cartridges The Ultrium 960 and Ultrium 1840 include support for both rewriteable and Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) tape cartridges. WORM tape cartridges provide an enhanced level of data security against alteration of data because you cannot erase or overwrite them. To check whether your backup or archive software application supports WORM tape cartridges, see the following web site: http://www.hp.com/go/connect.
NOTE: For information on ordering tape cartridges and bar code labels, see the HP StorageWorks Tape Libraries Media and Bar Code Labels flyer that shipped with your library. You can also access this information at http://www.hp.com/go/storagemedia SDLT 320 and 600 tape cartridges NOTE: In addition to the information provided in this manual, see the documentation provided with your media for more information.

Serial port The interface controller is equipped with one serial port. See Figure 9,Figure 10, or Figure 11 for the location of the serial port. NOTE: The serial port is an HP service port not intended for customer use on the ESL E-Series library. Ethernet port One Ethernet port with an LED indicator is included in the interface controller. See Figure 9,Figure 10, or Figure 11 for the location of the Ethernet port.
Figure 12 LAN-free backup and restore SCSI over IP Protocol (SIPP) Libraries can function in SIPP mode or non-SIPP mode, but not both. A library in SIPP mode looks the same as a library that is not in SIPP mode, except for the absence of the SCSI HBA and its cable, and the absence of any e1200–160 interface controllers. The mode is recognized when the library is powered-on.
NOTE: Command View TL, provided with your library, is a utility that provides diagnostics and management by accessing devices through a LAN infrastructure. For more information on Command View TL, go to http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl. Additional advanced SAN security and management features are available via permanent software licenses. For more information, see the documentation that shipped with the Interface Manager and Command View TL software kit. Details are also available at http://www.hp.
Library 1 IP Library 2 IP Library 3 IP Management Station 10056 Figure 13 Multiple libraries connected to a single management station NOTE: If you are running Command View TL version 2.0 or later, you can install Command View TL on multiple servers (management stations) and manage the library with more than one management station at the same time.
Space requirements In addition to the space required for standalone libraries, a CLM library requires 52 inches (130 cm) of clear space to the left of the primary cabinet as you face the front of the cabinets. See the section called Floor space in HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Library unpacking and installation guide for further information.
10664 Figure 15 CLM robotics controller The CLM sensor board (see Figure 16) is located near the CLM motor assembly, at the far right of the CLM arm (in the primary cabinet) as you face the back of the libraries. It contains a spring loaded sensor assembly which detects the CLM shuttle when it is in the home position. 1 10665 1 #1 Phillips screws Figure 16 CLM sensor board The CLM motor assembly (see Figure 17) is located on the far right of the CLM arm as you face the back of the cabinets.
10636 Figure 17 CLM motor assembly Lock Element Addressing Lock Element Addressing should be used on a CLM library with 3 or more cabinets. When enabled, Lock Element Addressing ensures that if a secondary cabinet goes off-line, locations and counts of drives, hosts, and all other elements in the remaining cabinets stay the same. If a cabinet fails when this feature is disabled, these elements will likely change. To enable or disable Lock Element Addressing: 1.
NOTE: The number of tape cartridge slots depends on the drive technology used and, on a mixed-media system, on the ratio of Ultrium and SDLT panels used and their locations. The number of back panel slots depends on how many drive clusters are in the library. See SDLT library, and Mixed media library for tape cartridge quantity information. To slide the slot panels out of the cabinet, press the slot panel latches down and pull the slot panel out of the cabinet (see Figure 18).

• If panels 1 and 2 (or 1, 2, and 3) are converted to a new media type, the left load port can be used to insert or remove media from the converted panels. The right load port is used to insert or remove media from the existing panels. • The type of media added to your library is on the left side of the library only; therefore, the additional media type has only one column of load port capacity, and the existing media type has two columns of load port capacity.
Library overview
2 Library operations This chapter describes the basic library operating procedures in: • Taking ESD precautions • Preparing tape cartridges • Inserting tape cartridges • Closing the cabinet doors and access panels • Powering the library on and off • Using the OCP • Inserting tape cartridges into a fixed load port • Using removable magazines Taking ESD precautions Components within the library contain static-sensitive parts.
AVVERTENZA: Il presente prodotto può essere utilizzato esclusivamente con un cavo di alimentazione approvato da HP specifico per la regione geografica dell'utente.
AVVERTENZA: Evitare il contatto con alimentatori, filtri EMI e qualsiasi altro componente elettrico AC quando il cabinet è collegato a una presa di corrente. WAARSCHUWING: Raak de voedingseenheden, het EMI-filter en de andere elektrische onderdelen niet aan als kast is aangesloten op een stopcontact. • Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching internal cabinet components. To use the wrist strap properly, place the band around your wrist and attach the clip to the cabinet frame.
Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library and application software to identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time. Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your tape cartridges.
Figure 23 Proper Ultrium bar code label placement SDLT bar code labels SDLT cartridges have a front slide slot located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch (see Figure 24). Inserting the bar code label by sliding it into the slot. CAUTION: Do not apply labels to the top, bottom, sides, or back of the cartridge as this may cause damage to the tape drive, or interfere with reliable operation.

Table 8 lists the identifier that is found at the end of 7- or 8-character SDLT and Ultrium bar code labels.
Setting the write-protect switch Each tape cartridge has a sliding write-protect switch. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the tape cartridge (write-enabled) or whether data on the tape cartridge is protected from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). Write-protecting Ultrium tape cartridges By moving the switch to the left (Figure 25), the tape cartridge is write-enabled. By moving the switch to the right, the tape cartridge is write-protected.

3 Maintenance and troubleshooting This chapter describes problems you may encounter during the setup and operation of the library. Corrective information is provided to help you resolve the problems.
One or more tape drives fail to spin up during start-up • • • • Verify cable connections and termination. Make sure the OCP does not show the drive power as off. Check that the power supplies are switched on for that level (clusters 0 - 5). Check that the cluster controller is properly cabled and ready. OCP problems This section describes corrective actions for OCP problems. The OCP is blank • Confirm that power is on.
The robot times out or hangs • Verify that nothing obstructs the robot. • Recalibrate the library. • Retry the operation. If it still fails, contact a field service engineer. The robot fails during an operation • Write down the details of the error message, including the SK, ASC, and ASCQ numeric values. Look up the code and try the suggested recovery procedures. • Press OK to clear the message. The robot drops a cartridge • Open the doors.
• Verify that the designated cartridge is present and properly seated. (For a tape drive, make sure the cartridge is completely unloaded.) Then, retry the command. • Perform an inventory. • If the error persists, contact a field service engineer. A move command failed • Check the source and destination. The source should hold the cartridge to be moved; the destination should be empty. • Make sure the picker is empty and that there are no obstructions.

Then, add elements one at a time, verifying the operation after each step.
Verifying SCSI bus configuration Items to check include: • Termination — Problems with termination can cause intermittent or hard failures. A SCSI bus must be terminated on both ends. Termination problems are common when both narrow and wide devices are on the same bus. • Bus Type — On an LVD SCSI bus, SE and LVD devices can be connected to the same bus. However, if one SE device is detected during power on, communication to all devices converts to SE mode.
Verifying the interface controller configuration Verify the following: • The FC interface controller speed is set correctly • The connection type is set correctly • The host is added to Secure Manager and given permission to communicate with the library. Verifying devices HP recommends using Command View TL to verify that the devices are functional. Verifying the host configuration In some cases, the FC HBA or host device driver may not be working properly. Check the configuration of these elements.
Maintaining tape cartridges NOTE: In addition to the information provided in this manual, access the HP StorageWorks SDLT Tape Drive Reference Guide, and the HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Drive users guide from http://www.hp.com/support for more information. For longer life of recorded or unrecorded tape cartridges: • Do not carry cartridges loosely in a container that exposes them to unnecessary physical shock. Dropping or bumping cartridges may dislodge and damage internal components.
• Use the cleaning tape more than once if a tape has severely contaminated the drive heads. If the problem persists after two cleanings, and the cleaning tape has not expired, contact your authorized service provider. NOTE: Do not use a DLT, DLT1, or VS cleaning tape (almond in color) in an SDLT drive. SDLT cleaning tapes are gray and use a 7- or 8-character bar code label, CLNxxxS or CLNxxxS1. To clean the tape heads: 1. Move a cleaning cartridge into the drive using your application software.

Glossary ASC The Additional Sense Code is part of the SCSI-2 specification. The additional sense code (ASC) field indicates further information related to the error or exception condition reported in the sense key field. ASCQ Additional Sense Code Qualifier is part of the SCSI-2 specification. The additional sense code qualifier (ASCQ) indicates detailed information related to the additional sense code.
EMI Electro-Magnetic Interference refers to unwanted electrical noise present on a power line. This noise may leak from the power lines and affect equipment that isn’t even connected to the power line. Such leakage is called a magnetic field. Magnetic fields are formed when unwanted noise voltages give rise to noise currents. Such noise signals may adversely affect electronic equipment and cause intermittent data problems.
SCSI over IP Protocol (SIPP) SIPP allows a library to transport SCSI commands through the IC’s FC port to the robotics controller’s Ethernet port. In a library with multiple ICs, a designated IC (the SIPP Master) receives and implements robot commands from the host. SCSI-2 A second generation SCSI interface which includes command sets for magnetic and optical disks, tapes, printers, processors, CD-ROMs, scanners, medium changers, and communication devices.
