Overview; Product Overview - Oracle StorageTek SL500 Security Manual

This section gives an overview of the SL500, SL3000, SL8500 libraries and explains the
general principles of tape library security.

Product Overview

SL500
SL500 is a 40U 19" rack mounted modular automated tape library by Oracle
Corporation. It offers storage capacity of 30 to 500 LTO or SDLT tape cartridges, from 1
to 18 LTO or SDLT SCSI LVD, Fibre, or SAS tape drives, with either a separate SCSI
LVD or Fibre Library control path, or a bridged drive Fibre or SAS port control path. A
bridged path indicates that the control path is through an HP5 drive port.
SL3000
SL3000 is a tape library, which provides the following features:
Attachment to both open systems and mainframe environments using HLI over
■
Ethernet, and SCSI over FC
Economic scalability for both tape drives (1 to 56) and cartridges (200 to 4500) to
■
allow entry level pricing and field upgradeable expansion as the customer data
storage needs grow
Live replacement of redundant components, including power supplies, robotics
■
and electronics
True mixed media support - any cartridge / any slot
■
SL8500
SL8500 is an automated tape library, which provides the following features:
Attachment to both open systems and mainframe environments using HLI over
■
Ethernet with either the ACSLS open systems host or the HSC mainframe host
Economic scalability for both tape drives (1 to 64) and cartridges (500 to 10,000) to
■
allow entry level pricing and field upgradeable expansion as the customer data
storage needs grow
Live replacement of redundant components, including power supplies, robotics
