Library Capacity M1500 Library 1 1 The M1500 library can contain up to two tape drives and up to 21 DLT/ SDLT cartridges or 25 LTO cartridges. The cartridges are stored in two independently removable cartridge magazines and one fixed cartridge slot. M2500 Library 1 The M2500 library can contain: · · Up to five tape drives and up to 84 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 100 LTO cartridges Six tape drives and up to 73 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 87 LTO cartridges The cartridges are stored in up to eight independently removable cartridge magazines and up to four fixed cartridge slots. Tandberg Data M-Series User's Guide 1 Chapter 1 Overview Tape Drives Tape Drives 1 M-Series tape libraries are equipped with SCSI tape drives. One SCSI bus is provided for the library robotics and for each tape drive installed. These SCSI buses are Ultra 2 SCSI, Ultra 3 SCSI, or Ultra 160 SCSI, depending on the drives installed. LVD SCSI configurations have a maximum allowable bus length of 12 meters. To determine the cable length of the bus, measure the lengths of the SCSI cables connecting each device to that bus and add those lengths together. To that total length, add 12.25 inches (31.10 cm) for the internal SCSI cable length of each SCSI tape drive. Library Scalability 1 The M1500 and M2500 library modules can be used as stand-alone libraries, or can be combined with other M1500 and M2500 library modules and a StackLink mechanism in a standard 19-inch rack to form a larger library system (called a multiple library stack). The multiple library stack appears as a single large capacity library to the host. The StackLink mechanism connects the library modules in the multiple library stack and transports cartridges from module to module. Each tape drive has access to all the tape cartridges in the stack. Once the StackLink mechanism is installed in the rack, you can add library modules simply by sliding them into place and making the necessary electrical connections. Table 1 lists the capacities of all the sizes of multiple library stack you can create using M1500 library modules. Table 2 lists the capacities of all the sizes of multiple library stack you can create using M2500 library modules. You can obtain different capacities by combining M1500 and M2500 library modules in a multiple library stack. 2 Tandberg Data M-Series User's Guide Chapter 1 Overview Library Scalability Table 1 Capacity, M1500 Multiple Library Stack # of M1500 Library Modules Max. # of Data Cartridges* Max. # of Tape Drives SDLT 320 Compressed Capacity (TB)* SDLT 600 Compressed HP LTO Gen 1 Compressed HP LTO Gen 2 Compressed 9.6 19.2 28.8 38.4 48.0 57.6 67.2 76.8 86.4 96.0 3 DLT/SDLT Native Native Native 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 24 48 72 96 120 144 168 192 216 240 3.2 6.4 9.6 12.8 16.0 19.2 22.4 25.6 28.8 32.0 6.4 12.8 19.2 25.6 32.0 38.4 44.8 51.2 57.6 64.0 6.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 30.0 36.0 42.0 48.0 54.0 60.0 12.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 60.0 72.0 84.0 96.0 108.0 120.0 2.4 4.8 7.2 9.6 12.0 14.4 16.8 19.2 21.6 24.0 4.8 9.6 14.4 19.2 24.0 28.8 33.6 38.4 43.2 48.0 4.8 9.6 14.4 19.2 24.0 28.8 33.6 38.4 43.2 48.0 * The values in the # of Cartridges and Capacity columns assume that all the magazines are fully populated with data cartridges, and that the fixed cartridge slots are populated with cleaning cartridges.
