Each library installation will require, (1) library system, (1)
geographically specific power cord, (1) SCSI cable for each DLT drive
pair, and up to 26 pieces of media with bar code labels for each
MSL5026DLX. Multiple configurations will require additional pass-through
kits.
The minimum orderable configuration consists of a single library
system (for instances where customer already has the necessary SCSI
cables, power cord, and media.
Installation services may also be ordered for customers who want to
have a certified Compaq Engineer perform an on-site library
installation.

Product
Highlights
High
Availability and Hot Pluggable Drives
As data becomes
more mission critical, and downtime becomes more costly, customers are
requiring high availability features on tape automation devices. The
MSL5026DLX uses "hot pluggable" DLT drive carriers, allowing drives
replacement and additional DLT drive to be added for capacity expansion
without interrupting backup and restore functions. These hot pluggable
drive trays allow for easy scalability of performance, as well as
provide an easy upgrade path towards future DLT drive technologies.
Note: The MSL5026DLX accepts
only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the
MSL5026DLX library.
Proven
Reliability
Using DLT tape
drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 1,000,000
load/unload cycles, the MSL5026DLX provides the necessary high
reliability for today’s demanding environment.
DLT
Technology
Digital Linear
Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape
guide system, and a read after write LZ correction system to provide
high-capacity, high reliability data backup and restoration. DLT has
fast become the industry-standard secondary storage tape format for
departmental and enterprise backup. The Compaq 40/80 DLT drives used in
the MSL5026DLX can read previous versions of DLT cartridges (DLT tape
IV, DLT tape IIIxt and DLT tape III).
Manageability
The MSL5026DLX
library configurations are fully supported through Compaq Insight
Manager 5.0, providing information to administrators for robotic status,
tape status changes and fault status. Compaq TSMC (tape storage
management console) software provides diagnostics and easy firmware
upgrade capabilities.
Multi-unit
modular Scalability
The MSL 5026DLX
has the capability for multi-unit scalability; up to 7 libraries can be
scaled together in a "virtual library". The first two modules are linked
using Passthrough Mechanism, which has the elevator mechanism for tape
movement. Additional of subsequent modules requires the Pas through
extender (one for each additional module).
