2- General Description The Scalar 1000 automates the storage, retrieval, and control of 3590, LTO, DLT, SDLT, and AIT tape cartridges. Tape cartridges are mounted and dismounted in tape drives using application software from the host without operator intervention. Note To accommodate IBM 3590 drives, you must add an Extension frame to a Control Module or an Expansion Module to increase module depth.
Modules The Scalar 1000 Library has the following modules: • Control Module (CM) on page 2-5 • Expansion Module (EM) on page 2-5 Door Lock, Handle, and Key Operator Panel Insert/Eject Station Expansion Module Control Module Figure 2-1 2-4 System Description Control Module and Expansion Module 6-01150-01 Rev A
Control Module (CM) The CM is a single module, standalone Scalar 1000 library. It contains an LCD Operator Panel, AC and DC power supplies, robot control electronics, and host interfaces. It can be attached to an EM to create an expanded Scalar 1000 library. See Figure 2-1 on page 2-4. The tape and drive bay capacity varies in the CM.
Internal Components The Scalar 1000 consists of the following internal components: • Tape Drives • Cartridge Storage • Cartridge Accessor • Tape Cartridges • Insert/Eject Station Tape Drives The Scalar 1000 supports the following tape drives: • 3490E • NCTP • 3590 • DLT (high profile and low profile) • SDLT • AIT-1 • AIT-2 • AIT-3 • LTO-1 • LTO-2 Cartridge Accessor The Cartridge Accessor identifies and moves cartridges between the storage cells, tape drives, and the I/E Station
• An X-Axis drive for moving the Cartridge Accessor the length of the rails in the CM and the EMs. • A Y-Axis drive for moving the Gripper Assembly vertically in the CM and the EMs. Tape Cartridges The Scalar 1000 automates the retrieval, storage, and control of 3590, DLT, SDLT, LTO, and AIT cartridges. Note Duplicate barcode labels (even with different media identifiers) are NOT supported. Two characters are used to identify the cartridge type.
Connectivity The Scalar 1000 offers several different connectivity options, allowing the library to support a wide range of backup topologies and applications. Flexible library connectivity delivers active support for loop and switched fabric Fibre Channel protocols, along with SCSI. SAN Connectivity The Scalar 1000 can be connected to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) via the Storage Networking Controller (SNC).
Figure 2-2 22 June 2004 Storage Networking Fibre Channel Attachment (Through an SNC) Connectivity 2-9
SCSI Connectivity The Scalar 1000 can be directly connected to one or two SCSI buses. Because each SCSI bus is independent, it can be Single Ended, High Voltage Differential, or Low Voltage Differential. Both ends of each bus must be terminated and a terminator is shipped with each SCSI adapter card ordered. The minimum configuration of a Scalar 1000 library requires one SCSI adapter and the SCSI type (Single Ended, High Voltage Differential or Low Voltage Differential).
Scalar DLC Option The Scalar 1000, through its optional Scalar Distributed Library Control (Scalar DLC) interface, provides the industry’s most advanced combination of management and diagnostics. The Scalar DLC software serves as a centralized library management tool that simplifies and automates the tracking and management of all system resources for optimal performance and maximum availability. The Scalar DLC attaches to the library SCSI bus.
Figure 2-4 Network Attachment Remote Management Unit The factory-installed Remote Management Unit (RMU) in each system uses a standard web browser for remote library access. The supported browsers are: • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 and above • Netscape Navigator version 4.
• Access the library Operator Panel • Access Scalar 1000 documentation • Retrieve library command and event logs The RMU supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 2.0 and acts as an SNMP-server. The RMU acquires Tape Alert 3.0 compatible information from the library over the serial interface port and sends that information to a SNMP manager. The RMU also detects a power loss and generates a SNMP trap for notification.
