    Preface This guide is an introductory and planning resource for Oracle's StorageTek SL3000 modular library system. For additional product information, refer to the SL3000 product documentation library on the Oracle Technical Network (OTN): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/tape-storage-curr-187744.h The system assurance process is the exchange of information between Oracle team members and the customer to ensure that no aspects of the sale, order, or installation of the SL3000 library are overlooked.

  • Page 15: Introduction

    I ntroduction Oracle's StorageTek SL3000 modular library system is a midrange storage solution that offers flexibility, scalability, and high availability. The SL3000 library uses a modular design to meet the demands of rapidly growing and constantly changing environments. This guide is intended as an introductory and planning resource for the SL3000 library.

  • Page 20: Cartridge Expansion Module

    The physical capacity varies from 230 to 312 cartridge slots depending on the configuration (see Chapter 4, "Capacity"). One PEM must be installed on each end of the library.

  • Page 29: Client System Component (Csc)

    Users can drag and drop files to and from any storage medium: disk, tape, or flash. Oracle’s Linear Tape File System, Library Edition (LTFS-LE) software supports the SL3000 tape library, managing multiple tape drives and media. When a user selects a file, the library automatically mounts the corresponding tape and the file is made available to that application.

  • Page 30: Virtual Storage Manager (Vsm)

    Virtual Library Extension (VLE) can be added to a VSM for additional capacity. VLE provides an economical second tier of disk storage that can be used to boost the overall VSM storage capacity or to use VSM as a tapeless virtual library. 3-6 StorageTek SL3000 Systems Assurance Guide...

  • Page 31: Capacity

    Only activated slots can be used for data storage and accessed by a client. Inactivated slots are not recognized by the library. Oracle recommends adding physical capacity in advance to meet future storage needs. Although modules can be added to an SL3000 library at any time, adding a module is disruptive to library operations.

  • Page 32: Calculation Example 1: Base, Dem, Cems, Pems

    The example library has a Base module, DEM, two CEMs (one on each side of centerline), and a single AEM on the right for bulk loading. Oracle does not recommend installing a single AEM on the right. If the AEM was installed on the left end of the library, 104 additional cartridge slots would be accessible in the far left CEM.

The ISO 14644-1 standard primarily focuses on the quantity and size of particulates as well as the proper measurement methodology, but does not address the overall mass of the particulates.

  • Page 76: Required Air Quality Levels

    Any mechanical process in the room can produce dangerous contaminants or agitate settled contaminants. A particle must meet two basic criteria to be considered a contaminant: It must have the physical properties that could potentially cause damage to the ■ hardware. B-2 StorageTek SL3000 Systems Assurance Guide...

  • Page 77: Operator Activity

    Contaminant Properties and Sources It must be able to migrate to areas where it can cause the physical damage. ■ The only differences between a potential contaminant and an actual contaminant are time and location. Particulate matter is most likely to migrate to areas where it can do damage if it is airborne.

  • Page 78: Cleaning Activity

    Many types of particulate are not inherently conductive, but can absorb significant quantities of water in high-moisture environments. Problems caused by electrically conductive particles can range from intermittent malfunctioning to actual damage to components and operational failures. B-4 StorageTek SL3000 Systems Assurance Guide...

  • Page 79: Thermal Failure

    Room Conditions Thermal Failure Premature clogging of filtered devices will cause a restriction in air flow that could induce internal overheating and head crashes. Heavy layers of accumulated dust on hardware components can also form an insulative layer that can lead to heat-related failures.

  • Page 80: Exposure Points

    Avoid sharing a computer room ceiling or subfloor plenum with loosely controlled ■ adjacent areas. Filtration Filtration is an effective means of addressing airborne particulate in a controlled environment. It is important that all air handlers serving the data center are B-6 StorageTek SL3000 Systems Assurance Guide...

  • Page 81: Positive Pressurization And Ventilation

    Positive Pressurization and Ventilation adequately filtered to ensure appropriate conditions are maintained within the room. In-room process cooling is the recommended method of controlling the room environment. The in-room process coolers re-circulate room air. Air from the hardware areas is passed through the units where it is filtered and cooled, and then introduced into the subfloor plenum.

  • Page 82: Cleaning Procedures And Equipment

    This statement of work focuses on the maintenance of the access floor system. During the week, the access floor becomes soiled with dust accumulations and blemishes. The entire access floor should be vacuumed and damp mopped. All vacuums used in the B-8 StorageTek SL3000 Systems Assurance Guide...

    Cleaning Procedures and Equipment data center, for any purpose, should be equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration. Inadequately filtered equipment cannot arrest smaller particles, but rather simply agitates them, degrading the environment they were meant to improve. It is also important that mop-heads and dust wipes are of appropriate non-shedding designs.
