Library
Models
The Compaq
StorageWorks™ MSL5026SL Library comes with 26 media slots (including
one mail slot) and one or two Compaq SDLT 110/220 tape drives (number of
drives determined by SKU chosen).
Each library installation will require, (1) library system, (1)
geographically specific power cord, (1) l SCSI cable for each SDLT drive
pair, and up to 26 pieces of SDLT media with bar code labels for each
MSL5026SL. 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
MSL5026SL uses "hot pluggable" SDLT drive carriers, allowing drive
replacement 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 SDLT drive technologies.
Note: The MSL5026SL accepts
only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the MSL5026SL
library.
Proven
Reliability
Using SDLT tape
drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 1,000,000 robot
load/unload cycles, the MSL5026SL provides the necessary high
reliability for today’s demanding environment.
SDLT
Technology
Digital Linear
Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape
guide system, and a read after write 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 new generation SDLT tape drive,
in addition to enhanced capacity and backup performance provides
advantages several
new features such as Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR™) technology,
Pivoting Optical Servo (POS) , Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads (MRC) ,
Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel technology and
Backward Read Compatible with earlier generation of DLT drives, to be
able to
read media written in DLT IV format.
Manageability
The MSL5026SL
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 5026SL
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. Addition of subsequent modules requires the Pass through
extender (one for each additional module).
