System Description
6-00058-05 Rev A
The Scalar 10K automates the storage, retrieval, and control of
the following tape cartridges:
•
LTO-1
•
LTO-2
•
LTO-3
•
LTO-4
•
DLT
•
Super DLT (SDLT)
•
8 mm
•
1/2-inch tape cartridges
Cartridges are mounted and unmounted in tape drives using
application software from the host without operator
intervention.
The Scalar 10K can be configured as a Capacity-on-Demand
(COD), Customer-Specific, or Dual Aisle configuration.
Capacity-On-Demand Configuration
In a COD configuration, you receive a fully-populated library
but do not use all storage slots. This gives you room to expand
in the future. To enable the unused storage slots, contact
Quantum to obtain a software key. The COD configuration
can be configured for 700 to 5,403 tape slots.
Customer-Specific Configuration
In a Customer-Specific configuration, the library is built to
customer specifications. This type of configuration can
contain up to 15,000 tape slots and up to 624 tape drives.
Dual Aisle Configuration
The Dual Aisle configuration includes redundant controllers,
redundant accessors, redundant control paths, and
redundant shared tower storage, making the configuration a
highly-available system. If one aisle goes down, the other aisle
remains available.
The Dual Aisle configuration can be configured for up to
22,938 tape slots and up to 624 tape drives.
