1 Introduction About TreeFrog® Architecture The Spectra 2K library uses TreeFrog architecture for robotic tape libraries developed by Spectra Logic. TreeFrog architecture can be configured with 15 or 30 cartridge slots and one or two tape drives. In addition, TreeFrog architecture supports SCSI-2 interfaces—both low-voltage differential/single-ended (LVD/SE) and differential. The cornerstones of TreeFrog architecture are the integrated robotic picker and the uni-body robotic chassis.
Chapter 1. Introduction Conventions Used This guide uses special conventions to highlight notes, cautions, and warnings. These conventions are explained below: Note: Read Notes for additional information or suggestions about the topic or procedure being discussed. Caution: Read Cautions to learn ways to avoid damaging the library, tape drives or other equipment. Warning: Read Warnings to learn ways to avoid personal injury.
2 Installing the Library To install the library, complete the steps outlined in these sections: •Unpacking the Library •Attaching to the Host Computer •Attaching More than One SCSI Device •Powering On the Library and Host Computer •Inserting Media •Installing the Data Cartridge Magazine(s) •Using Horizontal and Rack Mounted Libraries Unpacking the Library Save the original packing material. If the need arises, return the library with the original packaging materials.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Figure 2-1 Unpacking the library. 1. Remove the cardboard tray from the top of the box. This tray contains the accessories for the library (see Library Accessories on page 13). 2. Remove the top piece of foam protecting the library. 3. Lift the library out of the box. Warning: Take care when lifting the library. It weighs approximately 30 pounds. 4. Remove the plastic overwrap, taking care not to scratch the paint on the library’s exterior. 5.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Caution: Take care when removing these pieces not to damage the door sensor cable (the white cable that runs along the right side of the library). Remove plastic. Remove foam Figure 2-2 Remove the plastic that protects the robotic picker from moving while shipping. Figure 2-3 Remove the foam that protects the robotic picker from moving while shipping. Note: Remember to save all packaging materials in the event that you need to ship the library at a later date.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Attaching to the Host Computer Follow this procedure to connect the library as the only unit on a SCSI bus. To attach more than one SCSI device, read Attaching More than One SCSI Device on page 18, as well as the documentation for the other device(s) on the bus. About the SCSI IDs and the SCSI Bus The library communicates with the host computer through a system of cables and connectors called the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI).
Chapter 2. Installing the Library 2. The library interface can be identified by its part number sticker, also located on the back panel of the library (Figure 2-4). • An LVD/SE library has a W in the position directly following the second hyphen of the part number: 9087####-#-W# • The differential library has a D in the position directly following the second hyphen: 9087####-#-D# Part number SCSI interface Figure 2-4 The part number sticker indicates the type of SCSI interface.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library LVD/SE SCSI Bus The LVD/SE library operates in either single-ended or low-voltage-differential SCSI mode, depending on the type of bus that is attached. Note: The entire bus (including host bus adapter, devices, and termination) must be LVD to operate in LVD mode. Attaching any single-ended SCSI device to an LVD bus renders the entire bus (and all attached devices) subject to the maximum specification requirements for single-ended SCSI (including maximum cable lengths).
Chapter 2. Installing the Library 5. Determine the correct specifications for the SCSI terminator as described in SCSI Terminator Requirements on page 81. Attach a SCSI terminator to the free SCSI connector on the library, as shown in Figure 2-5. Caution: The SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends or unexpected errors may result. Make sure that the SCSI adapter in the host computer has the appropriate termination enabled.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Attaching More than One SCSI Device To attach more than one device to the same SCSI bus, review the following sections: •Verifying the SCSI Bus Requirements, below. •Changing SCSI IDs as Necessary on page 19.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Changing SCSI IDs as Necessary Note: Do not change the default SCSI ID settings for the library or the drives unless they are set to the same value(s) already in use by other devices on the same SCSI bus or unless required by your software. To change the SCSI IDs: 1. After you have confirmed the need to modify the SCSI IDs of the library and/or the drives, power off the library, the host computer, and any other device on the SCSI bus. 2.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Powering On the Library and Host Computer After correctly connecting the library to the host computer, perform the steps described in the following sections. Powering On the Library Power on the library before powering on the host computer and take note of the library’s initialization routine: •The picker moves along the length of the library, checking the data cartridge magazine (DCM) and tape drive(s) for data cartridges.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Inserting Media The simplest way to insert media into your library is to load the DCM(s) with tapes before installing the DCM(s) in the library. To do this, insert tapes one at a time into the individual slots in the DCM, with the clear plastic window of the cartridges facing away from the drives. Note: For additional information regarding inserting media into the DCM, see Figure 4-5 on page 37.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Position the DCM so that the holes on the side of the DCM line up with the pegs inside the library (Figure 2-7). Holes Figure 2-7 Properly align the DCM for insertion in the library. Note: For additional information regarding the correct positioning of the DCM, see Figure 4-5 on page 37. 3. Holding the DCM in one hand, push it firmly into its place behind the robotic picker. You will hear it snap into place when it fits correctly. 4. Close and lock the library door.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library 5. Close and lock the library door. Reading and Writing Data to Tape Before performing store and restore operations with the library, use your backup software to test library/host communications. Refer to your backup software documentation for instructions on specific testing procedures. If you experience difficulty with any one of the procedures above, you may need to change the library’s configuration as discussed in the next chapter.
Chapter 2. Installing the Library Using Horizontal and Rack Mounted Libraries Every Spectra 2K library can be operated in either a vertical or horizontal position. In vertical position, the drives should be located on the bottom of the unit. With the library in the horizontal position, the key lock is at the top and the hinges of the door are at the bottom. Operating the library in the horizontal position requires a Horizontal Conversion Kit.
3 Configuring the Library The Spectra 2K library is compatible with most operating systems. This chapter discusses: • Changing the Library’s Configuration • Custom Configurations Changing the Library’s Configuration The library is configured through the configuration switch located on the back panel. Figure 3-1 The rear panel of the library with a larger view of the configuration switch.
Chapter 3. Configuring the Library The default position of the configuration switch (0) identifies the library and tape drives with the following information: • Library Inquiry (or Name): Spectra 215 • Drive Manufacturer: Sony • Drive Model: SDX-300C or SDX-500C or SDX-700C • Drive DIP Switch: 0 These values, returned by the SCSI INQUIRY command, inform the host computer how to communicate with the library and tape drives.
Chapter 3. Configuring the Library Determine Your Configuration The Spectra 2K library will run successfully with the attached server or host computer running most operating systems, and secondary configuration switch changes are usually not required. If the computer attached to the library is running one of the following, secondary configuration switch changes are required. Operating System Computer Description Switch Value HPUX 9.x, HPUX 10.x, HPUX 11.
Chapter 3. Configuring the Library Before setting the emulation mode for the library robotics or tape drives, find the setting you want to use in the table below.
Chapter 3. Configuring the Library Changing Configurations To change the emulation mode for the library robotics or tape drives: 1. Power off the library. 2. With a small screwdriver, set the configuration switch to the value that corresponds with the desired emulation mode. 3. With the library door closed, power on the library. As the library changes its configuration, the robotic tape picker pauses in front of the data cartridge magazine and the LED blinks amber and green.
Chapter 3.
4 Using the Library Once the library is already installed and configured, review this chapter to begin using the library.
Chapter 4. Using the Library Front Panel Components The front panel components of the library include: Door Provides access to the data cartridge magazine, tape drives and robotic tape picker. Window Allows full visibility of the data cartridge magazine, tape drives and robotic tape picker. Keys Lock and unlock the library. Door Window Keys Figure 4-1 The library’s front panel components.
Chapter 4. Using the Library Internal Components To open the door, turn the key in the lock. The internal components accessible through the front door include: • Data cartridge magazine(s) (DCM(s)) • AIT tape drive(s) • Robotic tape picker Door Data cartridge magazine Tape drives Robotic tape picker Figure 4-2 The library’s internal components. Note: Using the internal components is described in detail later in this chapter.
Chapter 4.
Chapter 4. Using the Library About AIT Bar Code Labels Review the following information before attaching bar code labels to AIT data cartridges. Note: Spectra Logic bar code labels are pre-approved for use with the Spectra 2K library; keep this information for future reference. Label Quality Use labels designed for AIT data cartridges. Avoid poor quality labels having poor contrast and resolution. Bar Code Type Use only bar codes with standard 3-in-9 encoding (Standard 39 Code).
Chapter 4. Using the Library Attaching Bar Code Labels Bar code labels allow the library to track data cartridges within the library. To attach a bar code label to an AIT data cartridge: 1. Review About AIT Bar Code Labels on page 35, for bar code label requirements. 2. Attach the Spectra Logic approved bar code label to the cartridge. • Make sure that the label is within the indented box with the numbers closest to the top of the cartridge (the side with the clear plastic window).
Chapter 4. Using the Library Inserting and Removing Data Cartridges The relationship of the data cartridges and the DCM is shown in Figure 4-5. When inserting and removing AIT data cartridges, the cartridges should be handled as follows: • The cartridge is inserted in the DCM with the cartridge window facing the top of the magazine. Correctly installed, the data cartridge snaps into the tape slot. • The cartridge is removed when grasped and pulled straight out of the DCM.
Chapter 4. Using the Library Write-Protecting and Recording The write-protect tab on the AIT cartridge prevents accidental data erasure. To use the write-protect tab on the AIT data cartridge: • With your fingernail, move the tab on the edge of the data cartridge to the SAFE position. With the tab in this position, the tape can be read, but it cannot be written to, and data on the tape is safe from accidental deletion. • Move the tab to the REC position to record data.
Chapter 4. Using the Library Using the Data Cartridge Magazine Once you have finished installing data cartridges in the DCM, insert the full magazine in the library. Align the DCM holes with the library’s posts and press firmly to latch the retaining clips on each side of the DCM. Remove the magazine by firmly grasping near the top of the magazine with one hand and pulling it straight out through the door. Figure 4-6 Inserting the DCM in the library.
Chapter 4. Using the Library Getting Information from the Picker’s LED The robotic picker’s light-emitting diode (LED), visible through the window of the library, shines either green or amber. The colored light indicates the status of the picker. The following table describes the LED operational modes and the information conveyed by these operating modes. Mode Information Green The picker is idle and the library is ready for use; this is the normal operating mode.
Chapter 4. Using the Library Using the 30-Cartridge Library The front door provides access to one 15-cartridge DCM at a time. To access the second DCM: 1. Open and close the library door. During the library’s initialization procedure, the magazine carousel turns 180 degrees, reversing the positions of the magazines. 2. As soon as the carousel turns, open the door of the library with the second magazine in front. 3. Close the door of the library and the process repeats itself.
Chapter 4.
5 Using the AIT Tape Drives The Sony AIT tape drive is a high-performance, low-maintenance tape drive. Using the AIT tape drives requires: • Getting to Know the AIT Tape Drive • Getting Information From the Drive LEDs • Maintaining the AIT Tape Drive Getting to Know the AIT Tape Drive The AIT tape drive has an internal, variable-speed fan that cools the baseplate and other drive components without introducing airborne dust into the tape path.
Chapter 5. Using the AIT Tape Drives Built-In Cleaning Feature The Sony AIT drive uses a built-in head cleaner designed to last for the life of the drive. This built-in cleaner works well, but it should not be relied upon as the only drivecleaning mechanism, particularly in environments where more excessive drive head contamination may occur. Spectra Logic recommends that drives be cleaned after every 100 hours of use in normal data center environments.
Chapter 5.
Chapter 5. Using the AIT Tape Drives Maintaining the AIT Tape Drive The AIT tape drive is an extremely reliable media storage subsystem; performing a few simple maintenance procedures will keep the drives reading and writing reliably for many years. • For best performance with AIT tape drives, perform a read/write confidence test with your backup software regularly. For information about performing this operation, see the documentation for your backup software.
Chapter 5. Using the AIT Tape Drives Manual Drive Head Cleaning Operation To clean your AIT tape drives, follow these steps: Note: Use only Sony SDX-TCL cleaning cartridges. 1. Power on the library. 2. Open and close the library door. Before the picker completes its calibration routine, it pauses in front of the DCM and the LED shines green. 3. Open the door of the library while the picker is parked in front of the DCM. 4.
Chapter 5.
6 Library Stacker Mode If you are familiar with the operations of a tape stacker, you should have no problems operating the library in stacker mode. The following information covers the basics of the stacker mode for both the 15-cartridge and 30-cartridge libraries.
Chapter 6. Library Stacker Mode Empty Cartridge 1 1. DCM inserted with (at least) the top slot left empty. Upon closing the door, inventory is taken, but no cartridges are moved. Empty Empty Cartridge 2 2. To load a cartridge to Drive 1, open the door for less than two seconds. Write operation begins. Note: If the library is powered on after the door is already shut, the library moves the highest positioned cartridge (not written to by a previous operation) from the DCM to Drive 1.
Chapter 6. Library Stacker Mode Arranging Cartridges in the DCM Because the library only distinguishes between individual cartridges by their order in the DCM, arrange the cartridges in the DCM following these guidelines: Empty Top Slot Leave the top slot empty. When the library stacker completes operations with a cartridge, it moves the used cartridge to the highest available slot and removes the cartridge in the next lower slot.
Chapter 6. Library Stacker Mode Controlling the Library Stacker The operation of the door determines the operating mode for the library as described by the following table. When You Do This… The Library Running in Stacker Mode Does This. Shut the door Scans the cartridges in the DCM, but until the door is opened for less than two seconds, the library will not load a cartridge in the drive.
Chapter 6. Library Stacker Mode 4. Shut the door, open it for less than two seconds, then close it. The library loads the first cartridge into Drive 1. 5. Issue a command over the SCSI bus. The library stacker mode cycles through cartridges as they are filled with data until the command completes or the stacker runs out of unused data cartridges. Note: To differentiate between tapes containing data and unused tapes, always insert the DCM in the library with the top slot empty.

7 Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs This chapter reviews maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs; this includes: • Maintaining the Library • Troubleshooting the Library • Shipping Information • Purchasing Additional Library Accessories • Shipping Information • Spectra Logic Repair Policies Maintaining the Library Maintaining the library requires: • Caring for Data Cartridges • Caring for the Library • Replacing the Fuses 55
Chapter 7. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs Caring for Data Cartridges Although AIT cartridges are ruggedly built, they must be handled with care to preserve the data that they contain. The following are guidelines for storing and using AIT cartridges: • Do not open the tape access door of the cartridge or touch the magnetic tape; one fingerprint can prevent a drive from reading the tape. Handle only the plastic tape cartridge.
Chapter 7. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs Handling of Tape Cartridges Proper handing of tape cartridges is essential to insuring data integrity. • Tape cartridges must be kept in a clean, dust-free environment. Store tape cartridges in a sealed container (the individual tape case or the 15-slot cartridge packs with the dust cover installed) when they are not loaded in the library. The Spectra Logic Pack RackTM cartridge storage system is recommended for storing DCMs.
Chapter 7. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs Caring for the Library For a lifetime of reliable performance from your library, disconnect the power to the library and perform an annual inspection of the internal components. • Use compressed air to clean out the slots in the DCM(s). • Use compressed air to clean out the inventory sensors on the robotic tape picker (Figure 7-2). • Use a soft cloth to clean the bar code scanner window on the robotic tape picker (Figure 7-2).
Chapter 7. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs Replacing the Fuses The fuses used in the library are 1/4 x 1-1/4 inches (3AG) or 5 x 20 mm, 250-volt, 2A slow fuses. For purchasing information, see Purchasing Additional Library Accessories on page 64. To check or replace the fuses, follow these steps: 1.

Disconnect the SCSI cable from the library; this will prevent conflicts between the host bus adapter and the library SCSI ID setting. 3. Open and close the library door.
Chapter 7. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs 12. Turn on the power to the library. The picker parks at the bottom of the library, and its LED turns amber for the duration of the firmware upgrade (usually less than five minutes). 13. When the drive ejects the tape, the upgrade is complete; remove the firmware tape from the drive. Note: If the tape fails to eject at the end of the procedure, do the following: i. With the picker parked in front of the DCM, open the library door. ii.
Chapter 7. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs Troubleshooting Library Initialization To troubleshoot problems with library initialization: 1. Check that the power cable is securely inserted in the library and the wall outlet. 2. Make sure that the foam piece that secures the picker during transit has been removed (for a diagram of its location, see Figure 2-2 on page 13. 3. Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the key is turned to the locked position. 4.
Chapter 7. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairs Troubleshooting SCSI Problems To troubleshoot problems with a SCSI device: 1. Make sure that each SCSI device in your SCSI chain has a unique SCSI ID. If two or more devices have the same ID, the computer may stop when you try to use the library robotics, or it may fail to recognize other SCSI devices. 2. Check that the SCSI host adapter card is firmly seated in the card slot in your server computer. 3.
