Tape Drive Support
Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 libraries support the following tape drives:
•
RoHS-compliant LTO-3 SCSI and Fibre Channel (FC) tape drives. RoHS-compliant LTO-3 FC tape
drives allow FC speed configurations up to 4GB.
•
Linear Tape Open-GEN 2 (LTO-2) SCSI and Fibre Channel (FC) tape drives. The supported LTO-2
tape drives are not compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive.
Mixed connectivity (using both SCSI and FC tape drives) is supported in Tandberg StorageLibrary T128
libraries. However, only one type of tape drive can be used in any one partition. LTO FC tape drives can be
directly attached to hosts or the Storage Area Network (SAN). LTO SCSI tape drives are attached directly
to the host. For information on partitions, see
Partitions
on page 14.
Details about tape drive support include:
•
Every library configuration must contain at least one tape drive.
•
5U modules can hold a maximum of two tape drives.
•
9U modules can hold a maximum of four tape drives.
Tape drives are installed into tape drive slots in the rear of the library. If a tape drive slot is empty, a filler
plate covers the empty tape drive slots to prevent debris from entering the library. Tape drives are shipped
filling the tape drive slots from the bottom to the top of the library, but the tape drives can be reinstalled in
any available tape drive slot.
For information on adding tape drives, see
Adding a Tape Drive
on page 149.
Library Features
This section describes several features of Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 libraries.
Licensable Features
In Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 libraries, LTO storage slots are licensed for use. The following situations
may require you to enter a license key:
•
During configuration of the library.
•
During a feature upgrade.
•
To activate additional storage slots in your current configuration.
•
To replace the control module. License keys are tied to the serial number of the control module. If
you replace the control module, you will need a new license key.
Note
A single Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 library can contain all LTO-2 tape
drives or all LTO-3 tape drives, but not both.
Note
Drive filler panels must be in place for the library to operate at normal speed.
