StorageCare Guardian

StorageCare Guardian is a remote monitoring and diagnostic solution that

enables Quantum to proactively monitor the health of Quantum
products, use diagnostic data to predict possible failures, and determine
whether or not the problem involves a Quantum product or other critical
component in the environment.

Benefits

StorageCare Guardian gives the customer added assurance that Quantum

will make sure its products are running optimally to ensure maximum
operational efficiency. Deploying this solution is easy and enables
customers to minimize the costs associated with system downtime and
service issues should a problem arise.

More Reliable Backups

Faster Resolution Time

Through continuous 24x7x365 monitoring, StorageCare Guardian
proactively checks Quantum systems for common errors and alerts the
customer when a Quantum product is underperforming. By proactively
identifying red flags, the risk of failed backups and machine downtime
can be mitigated.
When the system is down, StorageCare Guardian provides the necessary
diagnostics data that enables Quantum to identify the root cause and
expedite the problem resolution process. Problems that used to take days
to fix can now be fixed in minutes. When problems require onsite
support, field engineers will have better information along with the right
parts necessary to fix the problem.

StorageCare Guardian allows Quantum to
• Monitor diagnostic data related to Quantum products
• Receive alarms that notify Quantum of issues at the customer site
• Run diagnostic utilities to more quickly determine the root cause of
issues
• Initiate remote connection to remote management interface to get
more in-depth information about the health of your Quantum
product.
• Distribute software/firmware upgrades - this will be available as a
future enhancement
Product Features

• Continuous Monitoring - Proactive 7x24x365 monitoring of Quantum
products enabling Quantum Support to be alerted on events such as
errors or marginal conditions that are defined by the user.

StorageCare Guardian

• Root Cause Diagnosis - Allows Quantum to quickly isolate and
identify the root cause of a problem.
• Rapid Problem Resolution- Quantum can rapidly recommend and/
or implement the corrective actions needed to resolve a problem
ensuring minimal impact to the IT environment.
• Quantum Remote Software Update - Distributed software update
capability allows fast updates to agent software and Quantum
hardware installed at customer sites
• Real-time Data Collection - Instant on-demand or scheduled
diagnostic data collection from Quantum products as well as the
ability to run user-defined data collection scripts from agent.
• Access Management - Customer has full control over Quantum's
access rights and privileges.
• Audit Logging - Audit logs are kept for all communications to and
from the agent.

How it works:
1 Customers can download the StorageCare Guardian agent software
from http://www.quantum.com/guardiandownload.
2 Customer installs the StorageCare Guardian agent on any Windows
2000/2003/XP or Solaris 8/9 server located at the customer’s site.

3 The StorageCare Guardian agent monitors Quantum products, and
provides information and updates to the Quantum Enterprise Server
that resides at Quantum Support.
4 If an error or problem is detected, Quantum queues a request to the
StorageCare Guardian agent for data collection or real-time access to
the system.
5 The StorageCare Guardian agent checks access policy settings to
determine if access is allowed.
6 If approved, the information is transferred to Quantum, or a remote
connection is initiated.
7 Quantum Support will diagnose the problem and, if necessary, send
the needed parts and/or field personnel to resolve the issue.

Chapter 1 Library Description
Tape Drives

Tape Drives
PX500 Series tape libraries are equipped with either SCSI or native Fibre
Channel tape drives. One SCSI or Fibre bus is provided for the library
robotics (gripper) and for each tape drive installed. SCSI buses are SCSI-2
fast/wide (8/16 bit), Ultra 3 SCSI, Ultra 160, or Ultra 320 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.

Tape Drive Types

PX500 Series libraries support the following tape drives:
• Quantum SDLT320 (SCSI only)
• Quantum SDLT600 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• Quantum DLT-S4 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP LTO-2 (SCSI only)
• HP LTO-3 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
Refer to the following tables for tape drive performance characteristics.
Both SDLT and LTO tape drive can exist in the same library as long as the
appropriate magazines are installed in the library.

Note:

When fewer than the maximum number of drives are
installed in a Quantum PX500 Series library, the tape
drives must occupy consecutive drive bays, beginning
with drive bay 1.

If a drive experiences read/write errors when the AutoClean
function is enabled, the library issues an error message stating
that drive cleaning is required. Without user intervention, the
library gripper replaces the data cartridge with a cleaning

cartridge. When the cleaning procedure finishes, the library gripper
returns the data cartridge to the drive.
Note:

When a cleaning cartridge has completed its 20-use
limit, it is automatically exported from the library,
requiring a new one to be loaded through the load
port.

DLTSage™ Tape Security

DLTSage™ Tape Security
The PX500 Series tape libraries with DLT-S4 tape drives are capable of
utilizing DLTSage Tape security. DLTSage Tape Security is a unique
solution designed to prevent unauthorized access to tape cartridges
which is particularly valuable when protecting tapes that are transported
offsite. DLTSage Tape Security is a firmware feature designed into the
DLT-S4 tape drive which uses an electronic key to prevent or allow
reading and writing of data on to a tape cartridge. This key is managed
through the remote management pages of the PX500 Series tape library
(see chapter 3, “Quantum PX500 Series Remote Management,”). DLTSage
Tape Security is available at no additional cost as an integrated feature in
of the DLT-S4 tape drive and PX500 Series tape library (firmware version
20 or later).

Mixed Media Support
The PX500 Series libraries are capable of supporting mixed media in the
same library (SDLT and LTO media) tape drives and media in the same
library frame. You must have at least one magazine type (SDLT or LTO)
for each tape drive type (SDLT or LTO).

Library Scalability (Stacked Configurations)
The PX502, PX506, and PX510 library modules can be used as stand-alone
libraries, or combined with other PX500 Series library modules in a
standard 19-inch rack to form a larger library system (called a multiple

Warning:

Cabling the Quantum
PX500 Series

If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT
install the PX-Series modules too high in the rack. The
combined weight of the components may cause the rack
to become “top heavy” and unstable if installed in the top
of an empty rack. If installing a multiple library stack,
begin installing the bottom library module first.

After the Quantum PX500 Series is in its final location, the tape drives
and system controller board must be connected to the backup host
system(s).
To cable the Quantum PX500 Series:
1 The PX500 Series tape drives and system controller board are
accessed from the back of the library (refer to “Connecting to Host
Workstations” on page 51).
2 Connect Ethernet port located on the back of the library on the
system controller board to the local area network (see figure 18).

information on write-protect switches).

Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges

3 Place cartridges (right side up) in the fixed slots and magazines:
a Open the library doors (see “Library Operations” on page 68 to
open the library doors).
Note:

In a PX506 and PX510 library, the bottom doors must be
open to open the top doors.

Remove the magazines (see “Library Operations” on page 68 to
release the magazines).

Note:

You have approximately 10 seconds to open the doors and
remove the magazines. If you did not complete the
operation, repeat the steps.

Note:

In a PX506 and PX510 library, only the bottom magazines
must be released from the OCP. All other magazines can
be removed without being released.

Load the tape cartridges in the magazines and fixed bins. It is
recommended to start loading tape cartridges in magazine 1, bin
0000 (see “Library Models” on page 2 for magazine and bin
locations).

Warning:

Replace the magazines in the library.

Close the library doors.
Caution:

Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide

Do NOT reach into the library to load tape cartridges
into the fixed bins. Use the Move page located on the
Operations tab from the remote management pages
(see chapter 3 on page 85) to move tape cartridges
from the magazines into the fixed bins.

Placing the cartridges in the bins upside down can
cause damage to the library (see figure 20 for SDLT
cartridges and figure 21 for LTO cartridges).

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges

Caution:

Taking ESD Precautions 2

Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or bang
them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic
interference. Rough handling can displace the tape
leader, making the cartridge unusable and potentially
hazardous to the tape drives. Loss of data could result
from damaged tape cartridges inserted in tape drives.

Components within the PX500 Series contain static-sensitive parts. To
prevent damage to these parts while performing installation,
maintenance, or replacement procedures, observe the following
precautions:
• Keep the cabinet turned off during all installation, maintenance, and
replacement procedures.
• Keep the cabinet power cord connected to a grounded power outlet
except when working with AC electrical components.
Warning:

Avoid contact with the power supplies, EMI filter, and all
other AC electrical components while the cabinet is
connected to a power outlet.

Unplug all AC cords to remove power from equipment.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching internal cabinet
components. To use the wrist strap properly, place the band around
your wrist and attach the clip to the cabinet frame. Keep the strap on
until you are ready to close the cabinet doors.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their shipping containers until ready for
installation.
• Do not place static-sensitive parts on any metal surface. If you need to
put down a static-sensitive part, place it inside its protective shipping
bag or on a grounded antistatic mat.

Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges

• Avoid direct contact with static-sensitive parts. Avoid touching
connectors and discrete components.
• Close cabinet door and access panel when not working on the
cabinet.
• Be very careful when installing the cabinet or handling components
in dry climates or environments where cold weather heating is used.
Environments such as these with lower relative humidity have
greater potential to produce static electricity.
Note:

SDLT Cartridges

In environments with high potential for static electricity,
take additional precautions such as the use of an antistatic
smock or a grounded antistatic mat.

The following section shows you how to label SDLT tape cartridges, as
well as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.

Labeling
Attaching a barcode label to each tape cartridge enables the cabinet to
identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time.
The SDLT cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNS#). The
first six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of
three alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters
allow each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters
are called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
• S1 = SDLT 220
• S2 = SDLT 320
• S3 = SDLT 600
• S4 = DLT-S4
Note:

You cannot choose the sequence of labels inside the bar code
label packs. No two packs are ever the same to avoid issues
with duplicate bar code IDs.

Place the label in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge (see
figure 19).

Label (SDLT)

Slide-in slot

Note:

Only use barcode labels that have been designed for
cartridges. Do not adhere labels to a cartridge anywhere
except the slide-in slot.

Setting the Write-Protect Switch

Each tape cartridge has a write-protect switch similar to that shown in
figure 20. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the
cartridge (write-enabled) or whether data on the cartridge is protected
from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). Set the write-protect
switch to enabled when inserting new cartridges into the library. Set the
write-protect switch to protected archiving tape cartridges.
Proper Insertion Orientation

Refer to figure 20 for proper label placement, write protection settings
and insertion orientation.

LTO tape cartridges are different in size to the SDLT cartridges as well as
in the barcode labeling and write-protect switch setting (see figure 21).
The LTO cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNL#). The first
six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of three
alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters allow
each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters are
called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
• L1 = LTO generation 1 (LTO)
• L2 = LTO generation 2 (LTO-2)
• L3 = LTO generation 3 (LTO-3)

Cleaning Cartridges

LTO tape drive media cannot be degaussed due to the fact
that it uses "magnetic servos." Do not attempt to degauss
LTO tape drive media. If this media is degaussed, it will
no longer work.

Cleaning cartridges are used when a tape drive within the library
requires cleaning. When Autoclean is enabled (either through the OCP or
remote management screens), the library will automatically clean the
tape drive when needed. A fixed bin (see “Library Models” on page 2 for
bin locations) is generally used to store a cleaning cartridge, however, the
cartridge can be placed anywhere in the library. When the library
completes the inventory, the system stores the cleaning cartridge location
so it will be available when a tape drive requires cleaning.
Both SDLT and LTO cleaning cartridge labels begin with CLN (see
figure 22 for SDLT and figure 23 for LTO).
