Chapter 3. Installation Planning Before installing your library , take time to review the following information. Determining the Number of Logical Libraries Yo u can partition the library into as many logical libraries as there are drives in the library . Basic Guidelines v Each logical library must contain at least one drive. v A library configura[...]

Using Multiple Logical Libraries for Library Sharing Multiple logical libraries are an ef fective way for the library to simultaneously back up and restor e data from heterogeneous applications. For example, the library can be partitioned so that it processes: v Commands from Application A (about Department X) in Logical Library 1 v Commands from A[...]

Library Partitioning and Element Addressing Library 4U systems with firmware versions of .80 and higher , and containing at least 2 drives, have the ability to configure two logical libraries (cr eate two partitions). This partitioning has been expanded with the new library firmware and half-high drive integration. Now it is possible to configure 1[...]

Configuration of a 2 Partition System A two partition system must have at least two drives installed. One drive must be installed in either drive position 1 or drive position 2, and another drive must be installed in either drive position 3 or drive position 4. Partition 1 will contain any drives in drive position 1 and drive position 2. Partition [...]

Configuration of a 4 Partition System A four partition system must have four drives. Each partition will contain one drive and one magazine. SCSI Element Addressing Every logical library starts at the first drive slot with the current assigned element start address (default value 256). It will be incr emented from the bottom to the top slots for ev[...]

exception in case of a “removed” condition. A drive slot which does not contain a drive and has a position between used slots needs to be reported as a SCSI element. To signal the host application that this slot is not usable, its ACCESS bit will be disabled. Logical Unit Number (LUN) Scanning The library uses a single SCSI or Loop ID per drive[...]

Note: For maximum performance, it is recommended to have a maximum of one drive per SCSI bus. – Only use the maximum system-to-device cable length of 25 m (82 ft) when attaching directly to one device (a point to point inter connection). Physical Characteristics of the SCSI Interface The library operates as a set of SCSI-3 devices. The Ultrium T [...]

The Medium Changer device is requir ed to be addressed via LUN 1 of the lowest-numbered drive position of each logical library . The Medium Changer device may additionally be addressed via LUN 1 of other drives in any logical library .
