Chapter 2 Description The Scalar i6000 library automates the retrieval, storage, and control of cartridges. The cartridges are mounted and retrieved from tape drives using a robotic assembly that is driven by application software from the host without operator intervention. The library is designed for ease of installation, configuration, and field upgrades. In December, 2011, the library robotics were redesigned. The robot redesign accommodates either a single robot or dual robotics.
Chapter 2: Description The Series 3 modules can be mixed and matched with older modules. However, the CM3 and DREM3 increased drive support requires gen2 robotics, gen2 electronics and minimum i12.2.1 code. If these gen2 and code requirements are not met, the CM3 and DREM3 can still be used but will operate in 12 drive mode. Note: Series 2 and earlier modules cannot be converted to Series 3 modules.
Chapter 2: Description Figure 1 Robot Tab To determine what generation electronics your library is running, select Monitor > System from the menu, click the Components tab and look in the Name column. If you have MCB2 and RCU2, you have gen2 electronics. Any other MCB or RCU level means gen1 electronics. Figure 2 Components Tab In March of 2013, a High Density Expansion Module (HDEM) was made available to provide increased storage capabilities.
Chapter 2: Description density expansion modules, the maximum capacities are 12,006 LTO cartridges (for a single-robot library) or 11,760 LTO cartridges (for dualrobot libraries).
Chapter 2: Description Control Module Control Module All libraries contain a control module. A single-frame library consists of a control module only. The control module manages library operations via the library management module and includes an operator panel touch screen for local operator use.

Chapter 2: Description Library Management Module Library Management Module The library management module is located in the control module. It controls system hardware and enables external devices to perform configuration and obtain system status. The library management module contains the following boards: • Management control blade (MCB) - Manages the library, passing commands to and from the robotics control unit as well as the storage area network (SAN) components.
Chapter 2: Description Library Management Module Figure 19 Library Management Module Boards Management control blade (MCB) 30 Scalar i6000 Planning Guide
Chapter 2: Description I/O Management Unit I/O Management Unit The I/O management unit is an optional component that provides connectivity and data path management to a SAN fabric and the hosts. The I/O management unit houses up to four FC I/O blades, which provide FC connections for the Fibre Channel drives in the module. The I/O management unit also houses up to two Ethernet Expansion blades, which handle internal Ethernet communication between the MCB and HP LTO-5 and LTO-6 drives.
Chapter 2: Description I/O Management Unit Fibre Channel I/O Blades There is a single Fibre Channel (FC) I/O blade type: 7404 that autonegotiates up to 4 Gbps. Each FC I/O blade has an embedded controller that provides connectivity and features that enhance the performance and reliability of tape operations. Each blade provides two host communication ports and four connection ports to drives.

Chapter 2: Description Robot Robot The robot moves cartridges between storage cells, tape drives, and the I/E station. A picker is used to get or put cartridges in a storage cell or a tape drive slot. The picker moves along an X and Y axis and can pivot 180o. A barcode scanner on the picker assembly identifies cartridges located in storage cells. The library can be configured for either one or two robots. See DualRobot Configurations and Parking Modules on page 25 for more information.
Chapter 2: Description Tape Drives and Media Tape Drives and Media Note: Library firmware versions 630Q (i10) and later do not support DLT tape drives, media, or magazines. If you upgrade to these library firmware versions, make arrangements to remove and/ or replace all DLT tape drives, media, and magazines in your library. If you want to continue to use DLT tape drives and media, your library firmware must be at version 617G.GS01001 (i8.4) or earlier.
Chapter 2: Description WORM Support Note: When you add drives, you lose storage slots. Note: The Scalar i6000/i500 library configured with tape drives over Native Fibre Channel connectivity, allows the utilization of all tape drives simultaneously without loss of performance when utilizing direct connectivity of the Tape Drives with Customer SAN Fabric and Backup Servers environment. The compatibility matrix between LTO tape drives, Scalar Tape Libraries and SAN Switches can be found at http://www.quantum.
Chapter 2: Description Magazines Magazines The magazine is a storage assembly that installs on the drive side or door side of the control module, expansion module, or parking module. It contains the cartridge slots and provides flexibility when adding storage cartridges to a module. The LTO magazines hold six cartridges. Magazines are removable and may have moved during shipment; make sure they are seated.
Chapter 2: Description Cartridges Each magazine has a barcode label that the scanner reads for identification and inventory. An optional, snap-on dust cover is available for the magazines to be used for external storage. The magazines with the dust cover have interlocked stacking that enables easier storage of the media when they are removed from the library. Cartridges Cartridges are stored in magazines within the library and identified by an operator-attached, machine-readable barcode label.
Chapter 2: Description Power System Power System The library supports single and redundant power configurations. The single configuration has either a single AC or DC line input with a single DC power supply. The redundant configuration has either a dual AC or DC line input with dual DC power supplies. You can hot swap a power supply if you have a redundant power supply. You can hot add a second power supply. Note: Power supplies cannot be mixed with other power supplies.
Chapter 2: Description Host Attachment Host Attachment Hosts can be attached to the library in the following ways: • Library Control Path on page 40 • Data Path on page 41 • Path Failover on page 42 • Network on page 43 Library Control Path The library control path is used to send SCSI commands to the library.
Chapter 2: Description Host Attachment SCSI connection uses the Fibre Channel connection on the drive so a dedicated port for library control is not needed. Path failover licenses can be added to a library that has IBM or HP nFC LTO-5 or higher drives. If control path failover is used, a minimum of two path failover licenses are required. The control path fails over to the second port on a drive and then to another drive that is configured for control path failover.
Chapter 2: Description Host Attachment • LTO-4 uses 4 Gb • LTO-3 uses 2 Gb and 4 Gb • LTO-2 uses 1 Gb and 2 Gb • LTO-1 uses 1 Gb • Path Failover (Previously Native Storage Networking (nSNW) (Ethernet Expansion Blade Attached) — Applies to nSNW HP LTO5 FC or LTO-6 drives connected to an Ethernet Expansion blade only. The native 8 Gb FC port on the drive is used.
Chapter 2: Description Operator Panel minimizing the ports used on their FC switches, the second port on the drives do not need to be used. In this case, the failover would go directly from the primary drive to the failover drive. Network The library management interface uses an 10/100 Ethernet port on the MCB for network connectivity. For i11.x, the MCB 2.0 is available with a 1 Gb Ethernet port and for i12.x, the MCB 2.0 has two 1 Gb Ethernet ports.
Chapter 2: Description Operator Panel Figure 22 Operator Panel Status indicator Power indicator Robotics Enabled indicator Power button Robotics Enabled button touch screen The touch screen is the library navigation point and provides access to the Library Management Console (LMC), which is shown in Figure 23 on page 45.
Chapter 2: Description Operator Panel Figure 23 Library Management Console Title bar Menu bar Tool bar Current library Current activity Data transfer statistics Mount statistics Current time and date Media slot usage Configuration summary System status buttons For additional information on the touch screen and the LMC, refer to the Scalar i6000 User’s Guide.
Chapter 2: Description Aisle Lights Aisle Lights Aisle lights are used to illuminate the inside of a module and can be used in conjunction with a webcam to monitor activity within the library. Aisle lights can be configured to turn on at various time intervals and for specific durations. If a webcam is installed, the aisle lights will turn on automatically when the webcam is accessed and turn off when stopped. Note: Aisle lights are available for i2000/i6000 libraries.
Chapter 2: Description Tower Barcode Scanner Note: It is recommended that version i10.2 be used so that the aisle lights turn on automatically when the webcam is activated. Previous versions will require that the aisle lights be turned on independently from the webcam. Note: Webcams are available for i2000/i6000 libraries. However, not all i2000’s have the necessary hardware features. The Control Module serial number in your i2000/i6000 library configuration must be at least 203102253 or begin with 263.
Chapter 2: Description Managing Your Library Remotely enable or disable specific access protocols to limit what type of remote management is possible. In addition to this, most customers should have one or more firewalls in place to govern remote access. As with any Internet accessible service, the LMC requires a communication path so that data can be transmitted between clients and the Scalar i6000. How this communication path is managed depends on the user’s configuration.
Chapter 2: Description Managing Your Library Remotely Scenario 1: Internet-based clients managing multiple internal Scalar i6000s For most organizations, a single administrator will not be managing all storage resources. In this instance, as shown in Figure 24, multiple administrators and even Quantum service personnel may be asked to remotely access Scalar i6000s.
Chapter 2: Description Managing Your Library Remotely In the scenario shown in Figure 24, Quantum highly recommends using virtual private network (VPN) software to control access to the Scalar i6000. VPNs offer authentication and encryption services to protect data transmissions and determine who can access a corporate network. By using VPN, the LMC client appears to be inside the firewall and have unrestricted access when communicating with the library.
Chapter 2: Description Managing Your Library Remotely Scenario 2: Internal clients accessing a single library across an internal firewall Another common configuration is one in which multiple internal clients manage a single Scalar i6000. For example, Figure 25 shows network operation/data center staff providing monitoring services of specific resources.
Chapter 2: Description Managing Your Library Remotely In the scenario shown in Figure 25, customers can utilize port forwarding functionality to enable specific access to a Scalar i6000. Port forwarding works by taking all host communications directed to a specific port and forwarding them to a single IP device. In this case, port forwarding would be configured so that all communications to the Java RMI server port (1099) would be directed to the IP address of the Scalar i6000.
Chapter 2: Description Managing Your Library Remotely Scenario 3: Internal clients accessing multiple libraries across an internal firewall Many customers use a layered system of firewalls to safeguard resources. In the scenario shown in Figure 26, a customer may have multiple Scalar i6000s which need to be administered by internal staff (for example, data center/network operations staff), with a firewall between the administrators and the libraries.
Chapter 2: Description Slot Capacity To enable LMC access between firewall zones, two solutions are possible depending on the customer configuration.
Chapter 2: Description Encryption and Key Management Solutions Note: Maximum numbers assume only one drive and one 24-slot I/E station in the control module. To gain the use of additional storage slots, you must purchase a Capacity on Demand license for the desired number of slots. Expansion modules may also be needed to add more physical capacity. Unlicensed Slots Active Vault and Extended Data Lifecycle Management (EDLM) features do not require the use of licensed slots.
