Tape Drives
The StorEdge L11000 library can hold up to 16 DLT7000 tape drives. These advanced
half-inch tape devices are capable of storing up to 35 GB of uncompressed data per
cartridge.
Note – When fewer than 16 tape drives are installed, the tape drives must occupy
consecutive drive bays, beginning with drive bay 0.
DLT7000 Drive Assembly
FIGURE 1-7
The DLT drives used in the StorEdge L11000 are more reliable than standard DLT
drives due to the automated environment.
If a drive experiences read/write errors when the autoclean function is enabled, it
automatically requests cleaning. Without user intervention, the IntelliGrip CHM
replaces the data cartridge with a cleaning cartridge. When the cleaning procedure
finishes, the CHM returns the data cartridge to the drive.
Supported Tape Cartridges
The StorEdge L11000 supports CompacTape III and CompacTape IV cartridges.
Caution – Do not use CompacTape I, CompacTape II, or CompacTape IIIXT
cartridges with this library.
