StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Drives
|
| Our family of HP StorageWorks
Ultrium tape drives is HP's premier line of backup devices. Based on LTO
Ultrium format, an open standard with a well-defined four-generation
roadmap, the HP Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best choice for
investment protection. With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind,
even at 100% duty cycles, HP's rugged design builds on superior LTO
technology and adds advanced features to create a new level of data
protection. The tape drives employ dynamic data rate matching to adjust to
the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and
increasing performance, even on slower hosts. HP's ultra-durable soft-load
feature automatically positions the data cartridge, and the highly reliable
HP leader-capture mechanism virtually eliminates lost leaders, increasing
the success of your backup and restore operations. Support for HP One-Button
Disaster Recovery provides the easiest way to restore data in the event of a
disaster. If data is critical to your business, protect it with an HP
StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive. |

| HP StorageWorks Ultrium
460 |
| The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 tape
drive is the latest generation of HP's Ultrium tape drive family, delivering
a capacity of 400 GB of compressed data on a single cartridge. With a
transfer rate of 60 MB/sec, the Ultrium 460 is the ideal choice for
enterprise-class data protection needs, particularly where the backup window
is shrinking. The Ultrium 460 tape drive is fully read and write compatible
with the first generation of Ultrium tape drives while setting new standards
for performance, capacity and reliability. |

|
| LTO Ultrium
Technology |
Linear Tape-Open technology was developed by three
leaders in the storage industry -HP, IBM, and Seagate - who brought
together their combined expertise in tape technology to develop an
entirely new format based on the best of existing technologies. Because
LTO Ultrium technology was a new format, it required no cumbersome support
of legacy formats, so it could be designed without compromising on
reliability or performance. The LTO Program, a consortium of the three
technology provider companies, has developed a well-defined
four-generation roadmap, which has been executed right on schedule, with
the first generation of Ultrium drives and media released in 2000 and the
second generation in 2002.
|
| |
Ultrium 1 tape drive technology uses a linear format of
384 tracks, writing eight tracks simultaneously. Ultrium 2 tape drive
technology uses a linear format of 512 tracks, writing eight tracks
simultaneously. The data is written in a serpentine pattern; the tape
reverses direction after each set of eight tracks is written. This
provides higher density recording, enabling customers to lower costs and
increase efficiency by storing more data on a single tape in an industry
standard format. Tapes written on the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 215 and
Ultrium 230 tape drives can be interchanged directly with each other and
with Ultrium 1 and 2 tape drives from HP and other vendors. Tapes written
on the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 tape drives can be interchanged
directly with Ultrium 2 tape drives from other vendors.
|
| |
LTO data
compression (LTO-DC) is an enhanced version of Advanced Lossless Data
Compression (ALDC) hardware compression. Compression is automatically turned
"off" if the compressed data would cause an overall expansion in data size,
hence optimizing the available capacity on the media. The system is used in
both Ultrium 1 and Ultrium 2 products. |
| |
The
decision about what next technology you should buy into should be based on
your future, not your past, investment. Choose the Ultrium format when you
need the following advantages:
| Maximum reliability, capacity and performance
|
| Compatibility with a broad range of operating
systems and servers (e.g., a mixed system environment) |
| A legacy-free technology that uses the best
attributes from a wide range of tape technologies without any compromises
for backward compatibility requirements |
| A solid roadmap for future generations of the
technology |
| An open format available from multiple vendors
|
| Lowest media cost of any 'superdrive' tape
technology |
|
|
|
| Data Rate
Matching |
An exclusive feature of HP Ultrium tape drives, data
rate matching allows the tape drive to adjust its transfer rate to the
speed of host dynamically and continuously. Data rate matching keeps the
data to the drive "streaming," reducing the need to rewind the tape back
and forth to wait for the host (the "shoeshining" effect). This feature
brings two big advantages:
|
It optimizes performance, getting the best
performance possible for the environment, regardless of the speed of the
host or the network.
|
|
It reduces wear and tear on drive and media, thus
increasing reliability.
|
|
|
|
| HP Ultrium
Storage Media |
HP's test program for HP Ultrium media is probably the
most thorough and comprehensive in the industry. HP cartridges must
satisfy an exhaustive battery of additional tests that relate directly to
real life situations, where real data and real businesses are at stake.
Over 1 million test hours on media and drives per year ensure that HP
cartridges will always offer maximum reliability even in the most extreme
conditions.

LED Indicators |
Ready (top light, green)
This LED indicates power on or activity. |
On, steady |
The drive
is ready for use. It is powered up but not doing anything. |
| |
On,
flashing |
The drive
is busy. For example: it is carrying out Write, Read, Self Test or firmware
download. |
| |
Flashing
pattern |
The drive
is in OBDR mode. |
| |
Off |
The drive
power is off or there was a failure during self-test. |
| |
Drive Error (second light, amber)
This LED indicates a drive error. |
Off |
No fault
has been detected. |
| |
On,
flashing |
The drive
has suffered an unrecoverable hardware failure. A power cycle or a
successful tape load will turn off the LED, but if the hardware fault is
still present it will come on again if the same operation is performed. |
| |
Tape Error (third light, amber)
This LED indicates a tape error. |
Off |
No fault
has been detected. |
| |
On,
flashing |
The tape
currently in the drive is faulty. This LED could come on for a number of
reasons, but they all relate to the tape being in error in some way, such as
unreadable cartridge memory or unsupported tape. Do not use the cartridge;
replace it. The LED will go out when a tape load is started. |
| |
Use Cleaning Cartridge or Clean (bottom light,
amber)
This LED indicates when a cleaning tape should be used. |
On, steady |
A cleaning
cartridge is being used. The Ready light will also flash. |
| |
On,
flashing |
The drive
needs cleaning. The light will continue to flash if the drive is power
cycled, and will only go out after a supported cleaning tape has been used. |
| |
Off |
The drive
does not require cleaning. |
