Chapter 1 Library Description Overview Overview Quantum PX500 Series libraries are automated tape storage and retrieval devices that (depending on library model, see Library Models) may consist of up to 20 tape drives and up to 170 SDLT or 200 LTO tape cartridges.
Tape Drives Tape Drives PX500 Series tape libraries are equipped with either SCSI or native Fibre Channel tape drives. One SCSI or Fibre bus is provided for the library robotics (gripper) and for each tape drive installed. SCSI buses are SCSI-2 fast/wide (8/16 bit), Ultra 3 SCSI, Ultra 160, or Ultra 320 SCSI, depending on the drives installed.

* Compressed capacity assumes a 2:1 compression ratio. When fewer than the maximum number of drives are Note: installed in a Quantum PX500 Series library, the tape drives must occupy consecutive drive bays, beginning with drive bay 1. If a drive experiences read/write errors when the AutoClean function is enabled, the library issues an error message stating that drive cleaning is required.

Chapter 3 Quantum PX500 Series Remote Management Utilities The system performs a health test on all robotic axis. Previous test results can be viewed below. System Tests The system test section allows the user to run a series of tests on an individual cabinet axis.
Chapter 3 Quantum PX500 Series Remote Management Utilities 1 Select an action and a number of runs and click Apply The cabinet performs the system test. If you leave the runs field empty, the system test will run continuously until you abort the system test.
Chapter 3 Quantum PX500 Series Remote Management Utilities Configuration Files Configuration files contain all of the configurable information on the library (see table 30 for file types). This configuration file should be saved on a local host on the same network. If the library configuration file is corrupted, this backup configuration file can be uploaded back to the library without reconfiguring the entire library.
Chapter 3 Quantum PX500 Series Remote Management Utilities Upload Drive Image The upload drive image section allows the user to remotely upload new tape drive firmware to a specific tape drive within the library. To upload drive firmware: Note: The library must be offline to update the drive firmware.
