Tape Drives
Tape Drives
Scalar 50 tape libraries are equipped with either SCSI or native Fibre
Channel tape drives. 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
1
The Scalar 50 tape library support the following tape drives:
• Quantum DLT-S4 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• Quantum Half-Height LTO-3 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP LTO-3 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP LTO-4 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP Half-Height LTO-4 (SAS)
Scalar 50 library can support mixed media types, mixed interface types
(Fibre Channel and SCSI) as well as mixed form factors within the same
library. Example: The Scalar 50 can contain both LTO full height drives
with LTO half-height drives in the same library.
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.

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 hand replaces the data
cartridge with a cleaning cartridge. When the cleaning procedure
finishes, the library hand returns the data cartridge to the drive.
Note:
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
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 Scalar tape library 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 Scalar 50 tape library (see chapter 3,
“Quantum Scalar 50 Remote Management,”). DLTSage Tape Security is
available at no additional cost as an integrated feature in of the DLT-S4
tape drive and Scalar 50 tape library.
Mixed Media Support
The Scalar 50 tape library is capable of supporting mixed media (SDLT
and LTO media) and a mixture of tape drives in the same library frame.
You must have at least one magazine type (SDLT or LTO) for each tape
drive type (SDLT or LTO).
Capacity on Demand
Capacity on demand provides the ability to upgrade the storage capacity
of a library by using a software capacity key that grants access to
additional magazine slots. The Scalar 50 library has two capacity levels
(see table 7):
• Level 1 - default capacity (four magazine columns starting with the
three columns of the left-hand magazine and including the back
column of the right-hand magazine)
• Level 2 - full capacity (all six columns of the left and right magazines
and all physical slots in the system including stacked libraries)

Note:
If your libraries are in a stacked configuration, all libraries
must be at FULL capacity. PX502 libraries are automatically at
full capacity.
Contact your Quantum Sales representative to acquire additional license
keys.
Enabling Capacity on
Demand
1
If your Quantum Scalar 50 has not already been enabled with the full slot
capacity, you must complete the following procedure:
1 Retrieve and record the Scalar 50 library serial number.
2 Access the COD website and follow the instructions by providing the
Library serial number to obtain your new License Key for your
additional capacity purchase.
The COD website URL is: www.quantum.com/capacity/scalar50.
3 Record your new License Key and then install it into the Library to
increase your slot capacity (see Library on page 101 for more
information on enabling capacity on demand).

Chapter 1 Library Description
Library Scalability (Stacked Configurations)
Library Scalability (Stacked Configurations)
The Scalar 50 library modules can be used as stand-alone libraries, or
combined with other Scalar 50 library modules in a standard 19-inch rack
to form a larger library system (called a multiple library stack). The
multiple library or stacked configuration appears as a single large
capacity library (or multiple libraries if partitioned) to the host (see
figure 7).
Multiple Library Stack
Requirements
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
To ensure the proper operation of your multiple library stack, review the
1 following list of multiple library stack requirements:
•
Multiple library stacks that contain a Scalar 50 can NOT exceed two
library cabinets.
•
The Scalar 50 must be the Master library in a multiple library stack
containing PX502 libraries.
•
The Master library must always be in the bottom most position in the
library stack.
•
If a Scalar 50 is stacked with PX502 libraries, the PX502 can NOT
contain an HP LTO-2 tape drive or a FC1202 Fibre Channel bridge.
These devices are not supported by Scalar 50.
•
All Scalar 50 libraries must have full capacity enabled.
•
A library that contains SAS drives cannot be shared with SCSI or
Fibre Channel libraries.
•
If your Scalar 50 is not already enabled with full slot capacity, you
must initially configure the Scalar 50 libraries and enable Full
capacity with a Capacity Key before configuring the cabinets as
Master and Slave libraries (see Library on page 125 for more Capacity
Key information).

recommended to start loading tape cartridges in magazine 1, bin
0000 (see figure 2 on page 3 and figure 3 on page 4 for magazine
and bin locations).
c
Warning:
Quantum Scalar 50 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 63) to move tape cartridges
from the magazines into the fixed bins.
d
Replace the magazines in the library.
e
Close the library doors.
Caution:
Placing the cartridges in the bins upside down can
cause damage to the library (see figure 11 for SDLT
cartridges and figure 12 for LTO cartridges).
Caution:
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. If a tape is dropped,
discard and replace with a new tape. Loss of data
could result from damaged tape cartridges inserted in
tape drives.

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Taking ESD Precautions 2
Components within the Scalar 50 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.
• 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
2
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.
Note:
Quantum highly recommends using barcode labels provided
by Quantum. Also, use the appropriate barcode labels for your
drive type. Do not use older barcode labels on tape cartridges
for newer drive types.
2
Labeling
The Scalar 50 is a multi-media library, meaning multiple drive and tape
cartridge types can be present in a single library. Barcode labels are
attached to each tape cartridge to differentiate the different tape cartridge
types (SDLT, LTO, and cleaning cartridges).
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:
• V4 = DLT-V4
• S1 = SDLT 220
• S2 = SDLT 320
• S3 = SDLT 600
• S4 = DLT-S4

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
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 10).
Figure 10 Inserting a Barcode
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
2
Each tape cartridge has a write-protect switch similar to that shown in
figure 11. 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.

Labeling
The Scalar 50 is a multi-media library, meaning multiple drive and tape
cartridge types can be present in a single library. Barcode labels are
attached to each tape cartridge to differentiate the different tape cartridge
types (SDLT, LTO, and cleaning cartridges).
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)
• L4 = LTO generation 4 (LTO-4)
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.
Adhesive-backed barcode labels are used on LTO tape cartridges. Refer
to figure 12 for proper label placement, write protection settings and
insertion orientation.

Caution:
Cleaning Cartridges
2
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 figure 2 on page 3 and figure 3
on page 4 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.
Note:
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
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.
You must attach the appropriate cleaning cartridge barcode
label (SDLT or LTO) to the cleaning cartridge or the library
will mark it as unrecognizable media.
28
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations

SDLT and LTO cleaning cartridge labels begin with CLN (see figure 13
for SDLT and figure 14 for LTO):
• SDLT cleaning cartridge labels are in the following format:

• LTO cleaning cartridge tables are in the following format:

Load Port Configuration
Load ports are used to import or export tape cartridges from the library.
When configured as a load port, your backup application will
automatically use these bins when exporting or importing tape
cartridges. The bottom left and right magazines in each library can be
configured to provide the following load port elements:
Caution:
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
When placing tape cartridges in the load port slots, ensure
that the tape cartridges are completely in the slot before
sliding the magazine back into the library.
60
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Load Port Configuration
• Single column load port (5 slots SDLT/6 slots LTO)
• Magazine load port (15 slots SDLT/18 Slots LTO)
Tech Tip:
Deciding between a single column and an entire
magazines as a load port depends on the amount of tape
cartridges you typically import/export from the library. If
you generally import or export small numbers of tape
cartridges to and from the library, a single column should
be sufficient. If you import or export large numbers of
tape cartridges, an entire magazine as a load port would
be beneficial.
Each of the load ports are configured independently so that one load port
can be configured as a column and the other load port can be configured
as a column or as a magazine.
When set for a single column load port, the magazine is physically
restricted to allow access to the first column in the magazine only.
When set for a 15-slot load port, the entire magazine can be removed (the
same for a 18-slot LTO magazine).
The load port option is set using the operator control panel Setup menu.
The settings are listed in table 16 and illustrated in figure 45.

Enabling load ports will reduce the number of storage elements in the
library. For example, if the library is set to the default capacity (left
magazine only) and a single column is set aside as a load port, the storage
capacity is reduced by the number of slots in that first column. The
number of storage slots would be reduced by five for an SDLT magazine
and six slots in a LTO magazine.

The Quantum Scalar 50 library utilizes a web-based interface which
allows you to configure and manage the library from a remote
workstation on the same network. The Quantum Scalar 50 library is
managed through the following web pages (accessible using Internet
browser software installed on the host computer):
• Status allows you to view the following: hardware status, event logs,
and statistics
• Operations allows you to perform cabinet operations remotely such
as cartridge movement and inventory requests and drive operations
• Setup allows you to setup cabinet identification, user information,
SCSI IDs, network information, events, date and time information,
partitioning, secure tape, and tape encryption information.
• Utilities allows the user to run cabinet utilities remotely.
• Reference links to related sites.
• Logout allows the user to log out of the library remote management
pages.

Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
Library partitioning provides the capability to divide the library’s storage
elements into separate partitions, usable by separate host computers on
the same network. The maximum number of partitions per library is four
partitions; however, the number of partitions is limited by the number of
102
Chapter 3 Quantum Scalar 50 Remote Management
Setup
installed tape drives. For example: in a Scalar 50 with two tape drives
installed, only two partitions would be possible in this library.
Note:
Partitioning cannot be used unless all libraries are at FULL
capacity. See “Library” on page 125 for more capacity key
information.
Partitioning Requirements
3
Only a Scalar 50 library with a Native Fibre Channel interface can support
partitioning. You must also have a Fibre Channel switch available to
connect to the library Fibre Channel SCB, Fibre Channel hosts, and native
Fibre Channel tape drives. If you do not have a Fibre Channel switch
available, the library is limited to one partition (see figure 70).
Figure 70 Native Fibre
Channel Partition Example
In the example shown in figure 70, you must zone the Fibre Channel
switch as follows:
• Partition #1: Zone 1 must have the media changer (port 1), tape drive
1 (port 2) and host 1 (port 4).
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
103
Chapter 3 Quantum Scalar 50 Remote Management
Setup
• Partition #2: Zone 2 must have the media changer (port 1), tape drive
2 (port 2) and host 2 (port 5).
Zoning the Fibre Channel switch as described above will allow the host to
view only the tape drive for it’s specific partition. The media changer is
visible to both partitions and hosts.
3
Scalar 50 Configurations that do NOT Support Partitioning
The following Scalar 50 configurations do NOT support partitioning:
• Scalar 50 Libraries Containing SAS Tape Drives - a library containing a
HP LTO-4 Half Height tape drive cannot be partitioned.
• Native Parallel SCSI interface - a parallel SCSI library cannot support
partitioning.
• iSCSI bridged Parallel SCSI - a parallel library with a TC2201 iSCSI
bridge cannot support partitioning.
• Native Fibre Channel without a switch - a Native Fibre Channel library
that does not have a Fibre Channel switch cannot support
partitioning.
• Scalar 50 with Level 1 Capacity - A default capacity library with only
four magazine columns available cannot be partitioned. You must
have FULL capacity to partition the library.

Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
This section provides information on “Best Practices” when
implementing DLTSage Tape Security and also instructions for migrating
your security keys from one library to another.
For more information on implementing DLTSage Tape Security with
your specific library, refer to the following Quick Start Guides provided
on the documentation CD included in the library accessory kit:
• Scalar 50 DLTSage Tape Security Quick Start Guide PN 81-81627
• PX720 DLTSage Tape Security Quick Start Guide PN 81-81588
Best Practices
3
When implementing DLTSage Tape Security in your tape library, there
are several “Best Practices” or guidelines to consider:
• The encryption key file should be saved off of the library at least once
a month or whenever a large amount of tapes is removed/added to
the library. It is a good idea to use the date in the file name of the
backup file.
• In the library remote management pages, the secure key and tape
cartridge barcode associations are displayed when you click Find in
the Assign Secure Key to Cartridge section without a specific barcode
entered in the barcode edit box. You should save this file off of the
library so the secure key and barcode associations are available in
case of disaster recovery or when moving the tapes from one library
to another. This also makes it easy to copy and paste the barcode
numbers into the PX720 and Scalar 50 remote management pages
when associating barcodes with secure keys.
• Secure key and encryption password information should NOT be
stored in unsecured areas.
Key Migration Scenarios3
The following examples describe two key migration scenarios:
• Disaster Recovery Scenario
• Tape Cartridge Migration Scenario
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
122
Chapter 3 Quantum Scalar 50 Remote Management
Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
3
Disaster Recovery Scenario
In the disaster recovery scenario, the original library is inoperable, but
secure keys and barcode associations have been saved off of the system
and are available on the network.
1 Remove the tape cartridges and place them in another tape security
enabled library.
2 Follow the steps listed below (beginning with step 2) to import
cartridges and associate barcodes with secure keys.
3
Tape Cartridge Migration Scenario
In this tape cartridge migration example, tape cartridges have been
secured in one tape library (PX720 or Scalar 50) and you want to move
them into another PX720 or Scalar 50 library and access them:
1 On the original library containing the cartridges:
a Access the library remote management screens.
b
In the Backup Secure Key file section, backup the secure key file.
This encrypted file contains all of the secure keys and bar code
associations in the original library. Once you click Save as... you
must right-click on the download link to save the file local
directory. This file must be located on a network resource that is
available to the new library.
c
Export the tape cartridges from the library.
2 On the new library:
a Import the tape cartridges into the new library.
b
c
Upload the secure key file from the original library:
•
If you are uploading a backup file from a PX720 to a Scalar 50
library, you must enter the serial number of the original
PX720 in the Encryption Key field, browse to the backup file,
and click Upload.
•
If you are uploading a file from a Scalar 50 library to a PX720,
you must enter the user defined key name in the Serial
number field, browse to the backup file, and click Upload.
When the file is uploaded, the secure keys from the original
library display in the secure key name list.
The tape cartridges are now available for reading and writing.

Appendix B
SDLTtape Cartridge
Maintenance
B
This appendix provides guidelines for handling SDLT cartridges and
visually inspecting cartridges if necessary.
Handling DLTtape Cartridges
• Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic case when it
is not in the library.
• When carrying tape cartridges in their cases, always orient the cases
so that the grooves in the cases interlock. This prevents the cases from
slipping apart and falling.
• Never stack more than five cartridges on top of each other.
• Always observe the proper environmental conditions for the storage
of tape cartridges. Refer to the cartridge reference card supplied with
each cartridge.
• When placing tape cartridges in archival storage, make sure you
stand each tape cartridge vertically.
• Avoid placing tape cartridges near any sources of high intensity
magnetic fields, such as computer monitors or electric motors.
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
182
Appendix B SDLTtape Cartridge Maintenance
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
• Never apply adhesive labels or POST-IT notes to the top, side, or
bottom of your DLTtape cartridge. Only use the user slide- in type
label provided with each cartridge and slide it over the label slot on
the cartridge.
• Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or any other container.
Allowing cartridges to bang together exposes them to unnecessary
physical shock.
• Do not touch or allow direct contact with tape or tape leader. Dust or
natural skin oils can contaminate the tape and impact tape
performance.
• Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight.
• Do not insert a dropped or damaged cartridge into a DLTtape drive
without, at the very least, a thorough visual inspection (see Visual
Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges). A dropped cartridge may have
dislodged, loosened, or damaged internal components.
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
When To Visually Inspect
a DLTtape Cartridge
2
It is important to visually inspect a DLTtape cartridge under the
following circumstances:
• Whenever you change or load a new tape cartridge
• If the tape cartridge has been dropped or subjected to a physical
shock
• If a DLTtape drive becomes inoperable after loading the tape
cartridge
• If you receive a shipment of tape cartridges that shows any sign of
being damaged
Visual Inspection
Procedure
2
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide
To visually inspect a DLTtape cartridge:
1 Check the cartridge for any obvious cracks or other physical damage.
183
Appendix B SDLTtape Cartridge Maintenance
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
2 Gently shake the tape cartridge. Listen for any rattling of loose pieces
inside the cartridge.
Caution:
If you hear anything loose inside the cartridge, do not
use the cartridge.
3 Locate the reel lock openings (see figure 99) and verify that you can
see the reel locks.
The reel locks are small plastic tabs near the center of the reel lock
openings. They can be broken if the cartridge is dropped.
Caution:
If the reel locks are not visible, do not use the
cartridge.
