7 Description Overview This chapter describes the FSC Scalar 100 and its functions. Subsystem Description The FSC Scalar 100 automates the retrieval, storage and control of DLT cartridge tapes. Cartridges are mounted and dismounted in tape drives via supporting software from the host without operator intervention. The FSC Scalar 100 has expandable configurations. It can be configured from 1 to 6 tape drives, however, the storage capacity varies and is determined by the media type and the number of drives installed. The following table illustrates the possible FSC Scalar 100 configurations. Number of Installed Drives Cartridges Capacity 1 30/ / / / / /60 Table: FSC Scalar 100 Configurations The maximum cartridge configuration includes a mailbox feature that contains two removable magazines and one fixed magazine. The magazine capacity is dependent on the type of magazine and each DLT magazine is capable of holding a maximum of 5 cartridges. The standard Mailbox contains a single cartridge and is available with all library configurations. The FSC Scalar 100 is offered as either a stand-alone model or as standard 19 inch rack mounted model.

8 Subsystem Description Description All of the above configurations can be field upgraded to the maximum drive and storage configurations, and a redundant DC power supply. Refer to Optional Features for additional information. Figure FSC Scalar 100 Library shows an example of a FSC Scalar 100 library withamultipleslotmailbox.

9 Description Subsystem Description Figure: FSC Scalar 100 Library

10 Subsystem Description Description Host Attachment The FSC Scalar 100 is a SCSI target device and can be connected to either a SE (Single Ended), LVD (Low Voltage Differential) or HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI bus. Both ends of the bus must be terminated. The design of a FSC Scalar 100 Library allows the SCSI type (SE, LVD or HVD) to be configured at the customer site via a switch located on the SCSI Interface PCBA. Refer to Figure Host SCSI Interface PCBA. When the FSC Scalar 100 is operated in daisy chain mode with a drive module SC100-DD11 it must be switched on in HVD SCSI mode. For termination use the HVD terminator shipped with the device. Although the FSC Scalar 100 can be attached to a wide SCSI bus, it is not a wide SCSI device and its SCSI ID must be in the range of 0 to 7. The FSC Scalar 100 can also be connected to a Fibre Channel Host Storage Area Network (SAN) via the Fibre Channel Router (FCR). The FCR translates the SCSI protocol between the two media types. The FCR is a separate unit and can be either a stand-alone unit or a standard 19 inch rack mount unit. Functional Description The FSC Scalar 100 configuration must include at least one tape drive. A maximum of 6 drives can be included. The FSC Scalar 100 system contains cartridges, library control hardware, tape drives and a robotic system. The tape cartridges are stored in removable magazines. The magazines are designed such that tape cartridges can only be inserted in the proper orientation. Once inserted, the tape cartridges will be retained in the magazine such that they remain in place even when the magazine is inverted and shaken lightly. The magazines can only be inserted one way into the mounting columns in the library. The library robotics system moves cartridges between storage slots, tape drives and the Mailbox. A picker is used to get/put cartridges in a storage slot or a tape drive feed slot. A barcode scanner on the picker identifies the cartridge or slot. The Mailbox allows cartridges to be added or removed from the FSC Scalar 100 without interrupting the operation of the Library. The cartridge storage slots and cartridge picker are accessed for maintenance purposes by opening the front door of the FSC Scalar 100. The tape drives, power supplies, and host interface PCBA are accessed from the back of the FSC Scalar 100 for maintenance purposes.

11 Description Subsystem Description Requests issued from the host result in cartridge movement in the library. The primary requests issued are for mounting and dismounting cartridges to and from the tape drives and for importing and exporting cartridges to or from the library. The host has records of the physical location of a cartridge in the library. The physical location is also managed by the library. Each cartridge needs a machine and operator-readable external label. Only labels released for the FSC Scalar 100 may be used. The label identifies a volume serial number (volser) in the library during initial inventory and any time a cartridge is added to the library. The library stores the physical location of the cartridge in an inventory database based on the cartridge volser. All host requests for operations involving movement or use of a cartridge need only reference the physical location of the cartridge for the library to perform the request. In addition to requesting movement of cartridges in the library, the host can obtain status, performance, configuration information, and information about the cartridges stored in the FSC Scalar 100. Functional Units The FSC Scalar 100 consists of the following functional units: Tape drives in Drive Modules Library control hardware Cartridge storage Robotic system Mailbox Tape Drives The FSC Scalar 100 currently supports the following tape drives: DLT type drive All tape drives are packaged in a common Drive Module that is designed for quick removal and replacement. The Drive Module is a FRU that is returned for repair.

12 Subsystem Description Description Library Control Hardware The library control hardware controls all operations in the FSC Scalar 100, including the interaction between the library and operators. The library firmware creates and maintains the FSC Scalar 100 configuration, the physical location of the robotic system and the inventory of cartridges. The database is kept in the memory of the Library control hardware. Cartridge Storage The FSC Scalar 100 contains cartridge storage slots in addition to any tape drives installed. Storage Slot Numbering The following convention is used to identify the coordinates of each Library element (storage slots or drives). 1 A 2 Column Magazine Row Table: Storage Slot Coordinates The columns are numbered 1 to 5 from the mailbox column and continuing clockwise. The magazines within each column are designated A to C from top to bottom. The rows within each magazine are numbered 1 to 5 from top to bottom for the DLT media type. The Drive column is designated A to F from bottom to top. See Figure Storage Column Configurations and Coordinate system.

13 Description Subsystem Description Figure: Storage Column Configurations and Coordinate system i IMPORTANT The fixed slot in columns 2, 4 and 5 does not have a magazine designation and is always numbered 0 so the coordinate for the fixed slot in column 2 would be 2-0 (the - indicates no magazine is present). The Drive column (3) can have up to 6 drives so the magazine letter can be from A to F.

14 Subsystem Description Description To manipulate the media within the library, the host must reference each movement with source and target designations. This is done via element addressing, which specifies precisely which slots within the library are to be used. The following addressing scheme is used for the library. Slot Type Storage Mailbox Drivers Picker Table: Element Addressing Starting Address 4096 (0x1000) 16 (0x0010) 256 (0x0100) 1 (0x0001) Robotic System The robotic system identifies and moves cartridges between the storage slots, tape drives and the Mailbox. The robotic system has: A picker assembly for mounting a cartridge picker and the barcode scanner. A cartridge picker for picking and placing cartridges in storage slots, tape drives or the Mailbox. A barcode scanner for reading the external labels on the cartridges. The barcode scanner is used during the inventory process to locate and categorize all cartridges installed in the library. The barcode scanner is also used during the teaching process where it reads the fiducial labels to identify the types of storage and tape drives installed in the Library. A Y axis drive for moving the picker assembly in a vertical position. An X axis drive for moving the picker assembly in a rotary position. A Z axis drive for moving the picker assembly forward and backwards.

15 Description Subsystem Description Mailbox This facility allows the insertion and ejection of cartridges without interrupting the normal operation of the library. There are two models of the Mailbox: The standard Mailbox has a capacity of one cartridge. The optional Mailbox has a capacity of 10 DLT cartridges contained in two magazines that can be inserted or ejected by opening the Mailbox door plus one fixed magazine containing 5 DLT storage slots. Tape Cartridge The FSC Scalar 100 automates the retrieval, storage and control of DLT cartridge tapes. The corresponding tape drive types must be installed in the library. Each tape cartridge in the FSC Scalar 100 must have an external label that is operator and machine readable to identify the volume serial number (volser). The external label contains up to thirteen characters for the volser, they can be uppercase A-Z and numerics 0-9. The external labels on the cartridges identify the cartridges to the FSC Scalar 100. Some software requires that the internal volser and the external label on the physical volume to be identical. Optional Features Optional features for the FSC Scalar 100 are as follows: Fibre Channel Router (FCR). Additional Storage Columns (each column can accommodate up to 3 magazines). Additional DLT tape Drive Module. Multiple slot Mailbox. Casters for Stand-alone model. Rackmount Kit Redundant DC Power Supply. Fibre Channel (FibreReady TM ) SAN modules. StorNext NAS module.

107 Processing Media Overview During the course of normal operations, it may become necessary to add or remove storage cartridges to or from the library. Two methods are available to insert or eject storage cartridges. For either method to work, the Mailbox must be unlocked. Unlocking the Mailbox can be accomplished by issuing a PREVENT/ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL SCSI command from the host. Normally, the mailbox state is unlocked. Additional information is supplied in this chapter about processing media, safeguarding the media, and using cleaning media. Inserting Media Placing new media into the library is best accomplished by using the Mailbox. Or, the cartridge could be placed directly into a specific storage slot location by the Operator. Mailbox Using the Mailbox to insert cartridges does not disrupt library operations. To insert cartridges through the Mailbox, follow this procedure. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Open the mailbox door. Insert the cartridge or magazine into an empty storage slot. Close the Mailbox. The library locks the Mailbox. The picker teaches, and inventories. The library unlocks the Mailbox.

110 Handling Media Processing Media Direct Removal from the FSC Scalar 100 There is one level of access control. It is a mechanical lock which is manipulated by a key. To directly remove media, follow this procedure. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Use the Operator panel to place the library into the OFFLINE mode. Refer to Online/Offline Selection. The picker completes any current task. Using the key, unlock and open the library door. Remove the cartridge or magazine from the desired storage slot. Close and lock the door. The library executes the TEACH and INVENTORY procedures. Handling Media To ensure that the library conforms to FSC specifications for reliability, use FSC released data cartridges. Refer to Figure Tape Cartridge. Other DLT certified media may be used, but it may not meet the standards of reliability established by FSC. The DLTtape IV tape cartridge is a 4-inch, black, plastic cartridge containing 1800 feet of 1/2 inch magnetic metal particle tape. Figure: Tape Cartridge

111 Processing Media Handling Media Write-Protect Switch The tape cartridge has a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure of data. Before loading the tape cartridge into the drive, position the write-protect switch on the front of the cartridge as indicated by Figure Tape Cartridge. Left, so the cartridge is write-protected Right, so the cartridge is write-enabled When the switch is to the left, a small red rectangle is visible. The red rectangle and the arrow beneath the red rectangle and over the two lines on the writeprotect switch tells the user that data cannot be written to the tape. On the right side of the write-protect switch, an arrow over one line indicates that data can be written to the tape. Preserving Cartridges Whenever possible, store the DLT cartridge in the following room-environment conditions: Ideal temperature 20 C, ±5C (68 F, ±9 F) Ideal humidity 50% (±20%) For longer life of recorded or unrecorded cartridges, store cartridges in a clean environment under the following conditions: Do not drop or bang the cartridge. This can displace the tape leader, making the cartridge unusable and possibly damaging the drive. Keep tape cartridges out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and other heat sources. Store tape cartridges in temperatures between 10 degrees Centigrade and 40 degrees Centigrade (50 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). For longer cartridge life, always store the cartridge in its plastic container and in room environment conditions of 72 degrees Fahrenheit ±7 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Centigrade ±4 degrees Centigrade). If the tape cartridge is exposed to heat or cold extremes, stabilize the cartridge at room temperature for the same amount of time it was exposed - up to 24 hours.

112 Processing Media Processing Media Do not place a cartridge near electromagnetic interference sources, such as terminals, motors, and video or X-ray equipment. Data on the tape can be altered. Store tape cartridges in a dust-free environment where the relative humidity is between 20 percent and 80 percent. For longer cartridge life, store the cartridge at 40 percent ±20 percent relative humidity. Place an identification label only in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge. Do not adhere labels to a cartridge anywhere except in the slide-in slot. Processing Media Each tape cartridge in the FSC Scalar 100 must have an external label that is operator and machine readable to identify the volume serial number. The external label may contain up to thirteen characters for the volser. A volser can be characters of uppercase A-Z and numerics 0-9. The FSC Scalar 100 currently supports Code 39 labels. Barcode Labels For customers who wish to print the barcode labels, the individual media labels are supported if the labels meet the ANSI MH10.8M-1983 standard and other additional requirements. The requirements are: ANSI MH10.8M-1983 Standard Number of digits: 6-13 Background reflection: at least 25 percent Print contrast: at least 75 percent Ratio: at least 2.2 Module: 250 mm Print tolerance: ± 57 mm

113 Processing Media Barcode Labels Additional Requirements Length of the rest zones: 5.25 mm ± 0.25 mm No black marks can be present in the intermediate spaces or rest zones No white areas may be present on the bars Bars should read in a uniform direction. Nonuniform reading directions are feasible in principle, but have a detrimental effect on performance Quality Testing Compliance with these specifications can be checked and documented with the Ergilaser 3000 High Density bar code measuring device that is manufactured by the Laetus Company. i IMPORTANT Best scanning results can be obtained by using FSC supplied barcode labels If barcode scanning labels are purchased, the individual media labels are supported if they are acquired from the sources listed in Table Supported Barcode Labels. Media Source DLT FSC see chapter Accessories Table: Supported Barcode Labels Barcode Label Restrictions All labels are restricted to 13 or fewer character volsers. Applying the Label All barcode scanning labels are applied to the front of the cartridge. Extreme care should be take to ensure that the barcode labels are never applied in an upside down fashion.

114 Cleaning Drives Processing Media Cleaning Drives The drive cleaning method is controlled by the host and applies to all drives in the FSC Scalar 100. Host controlled drive cleaning is the default condition.

115 Error Messages Overview When a failure occurs, the FSC Scalar 100 firmware performs error recovery and reporting.
