If the library’s primary accessor fails, the second accessor assumes control and eliminates system outage or the need for operator intervention. Although the library uses defaults to specify the zones (areas) in which the accessors operate, you can specify particular zones by using the Tape Library Specialist web interface.

  • Page 57 Ultrium Tape Drives Ultrium Tape Drives write data to and read data from IBM LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges. The Ultrium 1 and Ultrium 2 Tape Drives communicate with the server by using one of three types of attachment interfaces: Fibre Channel, LVD SCSI, or HVD SCSI.
  • Page 58 3592 Tape Drives The 3592 Tape Drives write data to and reads data from the IBM TotalStorage 3592 Enterprise Tape Cartridge. The drives communicate with the server through one of two Fibre Channel ports. The ports can be used as multiple paths of communication or for failover.
  • Page 59 Logical Addresses of Drives Like it does when it assigns a physical address to a tape drive, the 3584 Tape Library also assigns each drive a SCSI element address that consists of a value that defines a logical location in the library to the SCSI interface. This logical address is represented on the operator panel as xxxx(yyyh), where xxxx is a decimal value and yyyh is a hexadecimal value.

Rail Assembly The cartridge accessor moves through the 3584 Tape Library on a rail assembly. The system consists primarily of a main rail assembly and a support rail, and a trough for the power and control cable.
  • Page 355 These assemblies provide the motive force to move the accessor side to side (on the X-axis) and up and down (on the Y-axis). The controller part of this assembly is referred to as the XY controller. Pivot assembly A group of parts that provides a mounting platform for the gripper mechanism and the bar code reader.
  • Page 356 Accessor Controller The accessor controller is the controller (circuit board) for each cartridge accessor in the 3584 Tape Library. If your library includes a second accessor, it has two accessor controllers. The accessor controller handles accessor motion requests, including calibrations, moves, and inventory updates. It also provides centralized management for other aspects of the entire library, including configuration, insert and eject operations, automatic drive cleaning, and determination of element status (for example, whether an element (such as a tape drive) is empty or occupied and...

Models L23, D23, L53, and D53 are equipped with the enhanced frame control assembly. All other models are equipped with the frame control assembly.
  • Page 358 Medium Changer Card Pack: The built-in multiplicity of library control paths via the RS-422 interface gives the 3584 Tape Library the ability to support multiple logical libraries (or Medium Changers, in SCSI terms). Because of this, controllers that are attached via the RS-422 interface are referred to as Medium Changer card packs (MCPs).
