Notes

13

Chapter 1

Library Overview

The Spectra® T200, T380, and T680 libraries are highly scalable, modular

libraries that provide unattended data storage, archiving, backup, and

retrieval for environments ranging from mid-sized PC workgroups to

multi-server networks. The unique TransScale™ modular design makes it

possible to increase capacity or number of drives in the library to meet the

storage and performance needs as they evolve within an organization.

This chapter provides an overview of the library features and components.

With the exception of the maximum number of drives, the total storage

capacity, and the number of Quad Interface Controllers (QIPs) or bus

expansion modules that each supports, the T200, T380, and T680 libraries

are functionally and operationally identical. The differences between the

libraries are noted where appropriate.

Chapter 1 — Library Overview

Site Prep Guide

91010004

LIBRARY FEATURES

The Spectra T200, T380, and T680 libraries all use the same components

and BlueScale® user interface.

Note: Most of the figures in this guide show the Spectra T380 library.

The relative locations of the components are the same for the

T200, T380, and T680 libraries.

The libraries include the following features:

Advanced BlueScale Environment. The BlueScale Environment

provides control over every aspect of the library’s operation.

User Interface. The library user interface lets you set configuration

options, view library and drive information and metrics, manage

cartridges, and monitor library operations. You can access the user

interface using the library’s front panel touch screen, a direct

connection to the library controller module (LCM), or through a

standard web browser connected to the remote library controller

(RLC).

User Security. Library users are configured for the library in one of

three groups, each representing a level of privileges.

BlueScale Media Lifecycle Management. BlueScale Media

Lifecycle Management (MLM) helps you manage your tape media

by giving you tools to proactively detect potential media errors well

before they happen. When used in combination with Spectra Logic

Certified Media, MLM lets you manage, track, and report all facets

of tape usage from creation to retirement — all consolidated within

the same application you use to manage your library.

BlueScale EnergyAudit™ Reports. BlueScale EnergyAudit lets you

display and record actual power consumption, giving you greater

control of your data center and budget.

BlueScale Hardware Health Monitoring. BlueScale Hardware

Health Monitoring (HHM) tracks maintenance thresholds for key

library components and notifies you when maintenance tasks are

required to keep your library in optimum operating condition.

These automated notices can be sent to SpectraGuard Technical

Support so you can work with them to proactively schedule

maintenance service at a convenient time.

Auto-Save Configuration File. Auto-Save Configuration

automatically generates an auto-save file containing a backup of the

library configuration and MLM database and stores it on the LCM

compact flash once a week and whenever a partition is created or

modified. If desired, the library can automatically email the auto-

save file each time it is created. This external copy of the auto-save

file ensures that you can recover your MLM database and library

configuration in the event of a disaster.

BlueScale Encryption and Key Managment. BlueScale Encryption

and Key Management is tightly integrated into the BlueScale

environment. Encryption can be performed either through an

encryption-enabled Fibre Channel QIP, if installed, or through

encryption-capable LTO-4 drives using LTO-4 media. Encryption

key management is provided through the library’s BlueScale user

interface.

Automatic Drive Cleaning. Automatic Drive Cleaning lets you

configure a dedicated partition to be used for cleaning cartridges.

The cleaning partition can be shared by multiple data partitions and

is used by the library to automatically clean drives whenever

necessary.

Shared Library Services (SLS) Virtualization. Shared Library

Services (SLS) Virtualization uses partitioning to logically divide the

library into multiple virtual libraries. With SLS, one library can

support multiple media types and provide dedicated library

services to multiple user groups.

BlueScale Vision™ camera. The web-based BlueScale Vision

camera lets you visually monitor the interior of the library. The

BlueScale Vision camera is an option you can purchase when you

order your library.

Using BlueScale Vision, you can observe import / export operations,

tape mounts, cartridge moves, and robotic operations in real time

from local or remote locations using the web-based BlueScale Vision

software. The ability to view the inside of the library without

removing panels or opening doors provides an additional level of

performance and health monitoring for your library.

Drives. The libraries accommodate high-performance, high-capacity

LTO, SDLT, and SAIT tape drives, as well as RAID eXchangeable

TeraPack (RXT™) drives. Drives are installed in modular drive bay

assemblies, each containing up to four drives. Drives are hot-swappable

to provide uninterrupted operation.

TeraPack Media Storage. All media is stored in TeraPack media storage

chambers. The maximum media storage capacity of the library depends

on the number and type of tape drives installed. TeraPack magazines,

individual cartridges, and the RXT media packs can all be labeled with

unique bar codes for easy identification.

Bar Code Reader. A bar code reader mounted on the library’s

transporter reads the bar code labels on TeraPack magazines,

cartridges, and RXT media packs. The bar code label information is

used by the library to maintain an inventory of the media currently

stored inside the library.

Chapter 1 — Library Overview

16

Site Prep Guide

91010004

TeraPack Access Port (TAP). The TAP is the entry/exit port for the

library. The TAP accommodates one TeraPack magazine containing one

or more cartridges or one RXT media pack. The T200 and T380 each

have a single TAP; the T680 has two TAPs, located one above the other.

Quad Interface Processors (QIPs). Optional intelligent controllers

called QIPs connect the library’s transporter and drives to a Fibre

Channel or Gigabit Ethernet (iSCSI) network environment. Each QIP

serves as a bridge that has additional features and intelligence built into

it. With QIP architecture, no external bridges are needed to handle data

stream translation, nor are any other specialized devices required to

provide support for other protocols. QIPs are hot-swappable to provide

uninterrupted operation.

Bus Expansion Modules. Bus expansion modules connect the library’s

direct-attach SCSI drives to a SCSI bus. The bus expansion module

makes it possible to daisy-chain up to four drives on a single SCSI bus.

One of the drives provides the control path for motion commands from

the host to the library’s transporter.

CHASSIS LAYOUT

The following sections provide an overview of the library components.

Depending on the options you ordered, some of the components described

may not be included in your library. For descriptions of the library

components and media, read “Library Overview” in the Spectra T200,

T380, and T680 User Guide.

Note: The library will be installed by a certified Spectra Logic field

representative. The information in the following sections is

provided for your reference only. This document is not an

installation guide.

The T680 library is pre-installed in an enclosed rack that

includes lockable front and back doors. The T200 and

T380 must be installed in a rack before use. For clarity, the
