Key Lifecycle Manager publications listed in
the Related information section. To choose a method of encryption management,
refer to “Managing encryption” on page 216.
To ensure that your tape drive conforms to IBM's specifications for reliability, use
only IBM LTO Ultrium tape cartridges. You can use other LTO-certified data
cartridges, but they might not meet IBM standards of reliability.
Refer to “Drive performance” on page 79 for Ultrium tape drive performance
specifications.
3592 tape drives
There are four generations of 3592 tape drives: TS1140 (Model E07), TS1130
(Models E06 and EU6), TS1120 (Model E05), and J1A. All generations of 3592 tape
drives and cartridges can reside in the same TS3500 Tape Library frame. Each
generation of drive offers an increased data rate and increased native capacity from
the previous model, in addition to other enhancements. Each generation of drive
also offers dual-port Fibre Channel host attachment interfaces. This feature
provides flexibility in an Open Systems environment because the drives can
directly attach to Open Systems servers with Fibre Channel attachments. All
TS1120 and later tape drives are encryption capable, however some TS1120 tape
drives require feature code 5592 or 9592 in order to be encryption capable. Refer to
Table 7 for details about these and other 3592 tape drive features. For information
about encryption, refer to Chapter 8, “Tape encryption overview,” on page 215.
Note: The 3592 EU6 tape drive is a 3592 E05 tape drive canister upgraded to
contain a Model E06 drive through the Miscellaneous Equipment Specification
(MES) process. The EU6 model name is only used when information specific to the
Model EU6 is discussed.
All 3592 tape drives include an RS-422 library interface port for communication
with the TS3500 Tape Library. The 3592 tape drives use the Statistical Analysis and
Reporting System to isolate failures between media and hardware. The TS1130 and
TS1140 tape drives (3592 Models E06 and E07) also come with an Ethernet port,
however use of this port for service or remote monitoring is not supported in a
TS3500 Tape Library environment.
A 3592 tape drive cannot read or write to a 3590 High Performance Cartridge Tape
(media type J) or to a 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape (media
type K).
Table 7 shows the basic features of each generation of the 3592 tape drive. Refer to
“Drive performance” on page 79 for additional 3592 tape drive performance
specifications.
