CHAPTER 8 - WORKING WITH TAPE LIBRARIES AND MEDIA Tape Terminology In the BlackPearl ecosphere, the following terms are used when discussing tape media. • Import - Adding tape media into the library. New tapes are inspected by the BlackPearl system and made available for use.
Page 297: Tape Library Support
L IBRARY UPPORT The BlackPearl Nearline gateway supports Spectra Logic tape libraries, and supports LTO and TS11xx technology drives with compatible media. A tape library may be shared by multiple backup applications, but each application must use one or more tape partition(s) isolated from partition(s) used by other applications. Tape drives assigned to a partition cannot be shared with other partitions.
Page 298: Tape Library Options
S3 service is set to "Never Inspect". Spectra Logic recommends upgrading to BlackPearl OS 5.3 or later. Use the instructions in this section to activate a tape library.
Page 299: Put A Tape Library Partition Into Standby
CHAPTER 8 - WORKING WITH TAPE LIBRARIES AND MEDIA Put a Tape Library Partition into Standby If you need to perform service on the tape library associated with your BlackPearl gateway, or with the BlackPearl gateway itself, you must first put the tape library into a standby state. Otherwise, the BlackPearl gateway may attempt to use the tape library while it is in service.
Page 300: Delete A Tape Partition
CHAPTER 8 - WORKING WITH TAPE LIBRARIES AND MEDIA Delete a Tape Partition If desired, you can delete a specified existing tape partition from the BlackPearl gateway. Any tapes in the partition that contain data are disassociated from the partition. Any tapes without data on them and all tape drives associated with the partition are deleted from the BlackPearl gateway configuration.
Page 301: Tape Drive Options
This can prevent unavailable drives, or drives experiencing a tape drive failure, from impacting the desired number of drives available for either read or write commands. Spectra Logic does not recommend setting both a minimum reservation priority IMPORTANT and reserved task type for the same drive.
Page 302 CHAPTER 8 - WORKING WITH TAPE LIBRARIES AND MEDIA When reserving an individual tape drive, setting the Minimum Task Priority to normal excludes low priority jobs, such as default IOM jobs, from using that tape drive. It also excludes all low priority jobs which may include write or read jobs, which may not be desired if IOM management is the primary use case.

Page 402: Tape Partitions
BlackPearl S3 service stays enabled and active while the tape partition is in standby, which allows any DS3 applications, such as the Eon Browser or Spectra StorCycle application, to write data into, or to request data from the BlackPearl gateway. The write jobs go into the BlackPearl cache and wait until the tape partition is ready.
Page 403: What Happens When A Tape Partition Is Re-Activated
If you plan to upgrade the library used by the BlackPearl gateway, for example change from a Spectra T120 to a Spectra Stack, it is advised to work with Spectra Logic Technical Support before changing the tape partition used by the BlackPearl gateway, and before moving any tapes to the new tape library or partition.

Page 417: Intelligent Object Management (Iom)
BlackPearl nearline gateway, IOM does not self-heal the bucket. Best Practices Spectra Logic recommends running IOM on a subset of data when possible. • Migration Example - If there are five storage domains where each domain is isolated from the other storage domains, use IOM to migrate one storage domain at a time.
Page 418 If further improvements are necessary, the chassis can be upgraded to new hardware. Note: Contact the Spectra Logic Professional Services team for help sizing and managing both migration and self-healing IOM projects, as well as assistance with hardware upgrades to improve the throughput bandwidth of your gateway.

Page 420: Special Firewall Feature For Connecting To The Bluescale User Interface
NTERFACE Introduction The BlackPearl gateway can act as a gateway for a Spectra Logic tape library network management interface. This feature enables a private network behind the BlackPearl gateway, where Proxy/NAT information is entered into the BlackPearl gateway to allow a connection to either a BlueScale library or BlueVision library with the BlackPearl gateway.
Page 421: Capacity Mode Versus Performance Mode Chunks
It is recommended to use performance mode only at the direction of Spectra Logic. There may be other methods to increase performance while using capacity mode based on workloads and use cases.

CHAPTER 11 - FAQ, TROUBLESHOOTING, AND SUPPORT H ANDLING EFACTOR TARTING WITH LACK EARL OS 5.3 Use the information in this section to understand the changes to tape handling in BlackPearl OS 5.3. General BlackPearl Notes • Tape drives can be taken offline and new drives brought online without restarting the BlackPearl gateway.
Page 423: Move Failures/Tape Stuck In Drive
Spectra TSeries Developer Guide. When a move failure occurs, the BlackPearl gateway is limited to just retrying the move. Note: Spectra Logic is currently investigating other tape and media changer errors to add new functionality for restoring drive operation based on sense codes received from the tape library.
Page 424 CHAPTER 11 - FAQ, TROUBLESHOOTING, AND SUPPORT a. The tape backend communicates with the media changer via SCSI pass-through. Generally, any retries are handled in the tape library management subsystem and not the kernel. If the kernel handles the retries, the BlackPearl gateway receives Unit Attention conditionals from the library that tell the BlackPearl gateway that the inventory has changed.
Page 425 (using strikes from failures with tapes B, C, D), and the BlackPearl gateway quiesces the tape drive. d. The default number of strikes (three) can be changed by Spectra Logic Technical Support. If set to zero, the BlackPearl gateway will not automatically quiesce the tape drive.
