The capacity utilization of the library can be monitored through the Tape Library
Web specialist.
The initial (base) capacity for Model S24 is 600 slots and for Model S54 is 660 slots.
Additional capacity for Models S24 and S54 can be purchased with the High
Density Capacity on Demand (HD CoD) features that provide a license key to
non-disruptively increase the licensed capacity. Unlike other Capacity on Demand
features, the HD CoD feature allows the additional licensed capacity to be used in
any HD frame in the library string.
Feature code 1645 adds 400 slots of capacity to Model S24. Feature code 1646 adds
660 slots of capacity to Model S54.
To determine the quantity of LTO Ultrium tape cartridges and 3592 tape cartridges
that the library supports, see Chapter 7, “Frame capacity,” on page 211.
Web interface
This section gives basic information about the IBM System Storage Tape Library
Specialist, the Web interface for the TS3500 Tape Library.
The Tape Library Specialist Web interface enables operators and administrators of
the TS3500 Tape Library to manage storage devices from any location in an
enterprise. The Tape Library Specialist allows you to communicate directly with
your library and perform a full range of end user, operator, and administrator
tasks without being at the operator panel. The Web interface is included with
Models L22, L23, L52, and L53, and is available as feature code 1662 for Model
L32.
The Tape Library Specialist requires a Category 5 Ethernet cable (not supplied with
the tape library). It may be installed by you or your IBM Service Representative.
You can use the Tape Library Specialist Web interface to download the following
flat files, which contain information for analyzing the library, drives, Fibre Channel
ports, and the health of the cartridges. Information is available from Ultrium 2 and
newer Ultrium tape drives and from all 3592 tape drives.
v
Library Statistics.csv - contains information about the maximum cartridge
residency, mount, and eject times, average cartridge residency, mount, and eject
times, and total cartridge inserts, mounts and ejects. The information is provided
for each hour of a 24-hour period and for each logical library.
Note: To obtain
this log, your library must include Model L23 or L53.
v
Drive Statistics.csv - contains information about each drive's last mount; only
installed drives are shown in the drive statistics log.
v
Port Statistics.csv - contains Fibre Channel port information about the last
mount; only installed drives with Fibre Channel ports are shown in the port
statistics log.
v Mount History.csv - includes statistics about the last 100 cartridges that were
demounted in the library and information about the 3592 E05 (at firmware level
16E4 or later), Ultrium 4, and newer tape drives that is derived from the
customer-centric Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (ccSARS).
The TS3500 Tape Library downloads the files in comma-separated value (.csv)
format. You can use the data to identify storage area network (SAN), drive, or
media performance trends. The .csv file format can easily be imported into most
spreadsheet and database programs.
