Overview

The HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System is an iSCSI or Fibre Channel disk-based storage appliance
that emulates up to 16 tape devices, which can be used to back up host network servers or PCs. Each
tape device is configured as an Ultrium Tape Library or Autoloader. An emulation type is selected during
initial configuration and this determines the maximum number of drives and the maximum number of
slots that may be configured for the device. The default configuration emulates the HP StorageWorks
MSL2024 Tape Library, which provides a loader with one drive and 24 slots.
