Chapter 1 — Library Overview
MediaIQ
Configuring multiple controllers to export a partition allows the data
storage software to send multiple moves to the partition, which are stored
in a move queue. The library's MediaIQ software analyzes the move queue
and processes the moves in the most efficient way. For more information
on using multiple controllers to export a partition, see Chapter 6 –
Configuring and Managing Partitions, beginning on page 180.
Media Lifecycle Management
BlueScale Media Lifecycle Management (MLM) helps you manage your
tape media by giving you tools to proactively determine potential media
errors before they happen. See Chapter 6 – Configuring and Managing
Partitions, beginning on page 180 and Chapter 9 – Configuring and Using
Media Lifecycle Management, beginning on page 284 for detailed
information about configuring and using the MLM features.
Mixed Media Support
Certain configurations of TFinity libraries using the High Performance
Transporter and BlueScale12.7.04, or later, support mixed media and drive
types. LTO, TS11xx technology, and T10K drives and media must be in
separate partitions and an LTO drive cannot be installed in Drive Bay
Assembly position 1 if there is a TS11xx technology or T10K drive in Drive
Bay Assembly position 2, or in Drive Bay Assembly position 3 if there is a
TS11xx technology or T10K drive in Drive Bay Assembly position 4.
Remote Support
The remote support feature uses a remote web access application,
WebEx™, to facilitate remote problem diagnosis. Remote support
preserves your organization's site and data security, giving Spectra Logic
Technical Support limited access to your library. With WebEx, Technical
Support can "drive" the library, taking enough control to gather the data
required to speed understanding of the problem. See Remote Support Icon
on page 92 for more information.
Shared Library Services (SLS) Partitioning
The library uses Shared Library Services (SLS) virtualization technology to
partition the library into virtual libraries. SLS partitioning is an option you
can add to the library by purchasing an activation key from Spectra Logic.
See Library Partitions on page 62 for detailed information about how
partitions function in the library. See Chapter 6 – Configuring and
Managing Partitions, beginning on page 180 for detailed information about
configuring and using partitions.
