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.

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
illustrations in this chapter and through this guide show
the library without the rack.
