Auto-Save Configuration File. Auto-Save Configuration
automatically generates an auto-save file containing a backup of the
library configuration and MLM database and stores it on the LCM
compact flash once a week and whenever a partition is created or
modified. If desired, the library can automatically email the auto-
save file each time it is created. This external copy of the auto-save
file ensures that you can recover your MLM database and library
configuration in the event of a disaster.
BlueScale Encryption and Key Managment. BlueScale Encryption
and Key Management is tightly integrated into the BlueScale
environment. Encryption can be performed either through an
encryption-enabled Fibre Channel QIP, if installed, or through
encryption-capable LTO-4 drives using LTO-4 media. Encryption
key management is provided through the library's BlueScale user
interface.
Note:
BlueScale encryption is not supported with LTO-3 tape drives
nor is it supported with LTO-3 media used in LTO-4 drives.
Automatic Drive Cleaning. Automatic Drive Cleaning lets you
configure a dedicated partition to be used for cleaning cartridges.
The cleaning partition can be shared by multiple data partitions and
is used by the library to automatically clean drives whenever
necessary.
Shared Library Services (SLS) Virtualization. Shared Library
Services (SLS) Virtualization uses partitioning to logically divide the
library into multiple virtual libraries. With SLS, one library can
support multiple media types and provide dedicated library
services to multiple user groups.
Drives. The libraries accommodate high-performance, high-capacity
LTO, SDLT, and SAIT tape drives, as well as RAID eXchangeable
TeraPack (RXT™) drives. Drives are installed in modular drive bay
assemblies, each containing up to four drives. Drives are hot-swappable
to provide uninterrupted operation.
TeraPack Media Storage. All media is stored in TeraPack media storage
chambers. The maximum media storage capacity of the library depends
on the number and type of tape drives installed. TeraPack magazines,
individual cartridges, and the RXT media packs can all be labeled with
unique bar codes for easy identification.
Bar Code Reader. A bar code reader mounted on the library's
transporter reads the bar code labels on TeraPack magazines,
cartridges, and RXT media packs. The bar code label information is
used by the library to maintain an inventory of the media currently
stored inside the library.
