Quantum|ATL P3000 Series User’s Guide
When fewer than 16 tape drives are installed, the tape drives must
occupy consecutive drive bays, beginning with drive bay 0.
The drives used in the P3000 are more reliable than standard
drives due to the automated environment.
The P3000 can be populated simultaneously with DLT, SDLT, or
LTO tape drives.
If a drive experiences read/write errors when the AutoClean
function is enabled, the library issues an error message stating that
drive cleaning is required. Without user intervention, the
IntelliGrip CHM replaces the data cartridge with a cleaning
cartridge. When the cleaning procedure finishes, the CHM returns
the data cartridge to the drive.
Load Port and
Magazines
1
The load port is a mechanical device in the front panel of the
library that enables you to import or export tape cartridges to and
from the library via two tape cartridge magazines without
interrupting library operations.
The DLT/SDLT load port uses two removeable 6-bin tape
cartridge magazines (see
).
The LTO load port uses two stationary 4-bin tape cartridge
Note:
* Compressed capacity assumes a 2:1 compression ratio.
Note:
When a DLT cleaning cartridge has completed its 20-use
limit, it is automatically exported from the library,
requiring a new one to be loaded through the load port.
