OverviewThis document explains which media needs to be used with a Library, and how to label and write-protect tape cartridges. NOTE: Careful labeling and handling of the tape cartridges will prolong the life of the tape cartridges and the Tape Library. Tape cartridgesUse the Ultrium data and cleaning tape cartridges designed for a specific model of a Tape Library. Data and cleaning cartridges can be ordered at www.hp.com/go/storagemedia.
NOTE: The HP Ultrium 920 and 960 tape drive includes support for both rewriteable and WORM data cartridges. Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) data cartridges provide an enhanced level of data security against accidental or malicious alteration of data on the tape cartridge. The WORM data cartridge can be appended to maximize the full capacity of the tape cartridge, but you will be unable to erase or overwrite data on the cartridge. WORM data cartridges are clearly identified by their distinctive, two-tone yellow and white cartridge color. To check whether the backup or archive software application supports WORM cartridges, see the following website: www.hp.com/go/media. Using and maintaining tape cartridgesCAUTION: Do not degauss HP Ultrium data cartridges! These data cartridges are pre-recorded with a magnetic servo signal. This signal is required to use the cartridge with the Ultrium tape drive. Keep magnetically charged objects away from the cartridge. To ensure the longest possible life for data cartridges, follow these guidelines:
Labeling tape cartridgesThe device contains a bar code reader that reads the tape labels and stores the inventory data in memory. The device then provides the inventory information to the host application, OCP, and RMI. Having a bar code label on each tape cartridge enables the bar code reader to identify the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time. Make it a practice to use bar code labels on tape cartridges. NOTE: The bar code scanner must scan each tape or the back of the storage slot until it reads the bar code label for the cartridge or storage slot, or determines that the slot is empty. The bar code scanner can identify a properly labeled cartridge on the first scan. It can identify an empty slot on the second scan. It will try several more scans and then tap on the cartridge before determining that an unlabeled cartridge is in the slot, which takes about four times as long as identifying a properly labeled cartridge. The inventory time for an MSL8096 filled with unlabeled cartridges is about 30 minutes. Even if you do not need the bar code information, use bar code labels to speed up inventory time. A proper bar code label includes the Media ID in the last two characters of the bar code. If an Ultrium 4 tape drive is installed in the Tape Library or is in the removed state, the Tape Library will not load a cartridge with an Media ID or an unlabeled cartridge into an earlier generation tape drive. Though not recommended, checking Ignore Barcode Media ID in the RMI Configuration > System screen will keep the Library from interpreting bar code Media IDs. The host software may need to keep track of the following information via the associated bar code:
NOTE: Misusing and misunderstanding bar code technology can result in backup and restore failures. To ensure that the bar code labels meet HP's quality standards, always purchase them from an approved supplier and never print bar code labels yourself. To order bar code labels from an HP-authorized reseller:
For more information, see the Bar Code Label Requirements, Compatibility and Usage white paper available from www.hp.com/support. Ultrium tape cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch. Use this area for attaching the adhesive-backed bar code label. Only apply labels as shown: Free Bingo Games. Welcome to Pogo’s collection of free online Bingo games, including favorites such as Bingo Luau, Fortune Bingo, Lottso! Express and tons more! Scroll up and down the games list to see all Bingo games on Pogo.com. NOTE: The bar code label should only be applied as shown, with the alphanumeric portion facing the hub side of the tape cartridge. Never apply multiple labels onto a cartridge because extra labels can cause the cartridge to jam in a tape drive. Write-protecting tape cartridgesAll rewriteable data cartridges have a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure or overwriting of data. Before loading a cartridge into the device, make sure the write-protect switch on the front of the cartridge is in the desired position.
Figure 2: Write-protecting the Ultrium data cartridge 1 - Write-enabled 2 - Write-protected 3 - Write-protect switch 4 - Bar code label 5 - Insertion arrow Backward read compatibilityHP Ultrium data cartridges are fully supported and compatible with HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape products (see the table below: Backward read compatibility). Because HP Ultrium media is Ultrium logo compliant, it may be used with any other non-HP device that bears the Ultrium logo.
CAUTION: Ultrium 2 and Ultrium 3 tape drives require the most recent firmware to immediately identify Ultrium 4 media. Without the most recent firmware, loading an Ultrium 4 cartridge into an earlier generation drive may result in a long media identification and unload time. The drive may not identify the media and return a load error before the application software times out waiting for the load. HP strongly recommends keeping your tape drives updated to the most recent firmware. MagazinesThe device has removable magazines. Magazine access is password protected. For safety reasons, the robotic motion is stopped when a magazine is removed. The magazines can be released using the Operator Control Panel (OCP), the Remote Management Interface (RMI) or by a manual release. HP recommends releasing the magazine using the OCP or RMI. The magazine must only be removed manually when the OCP or RMI process has failed, or the device no longer has power. On the MSL4048, the storage slots are numbered starting with the of the lower-left magazine (as shown in Figure 3). Figure 3: MSL4048 slot numbering with mailslot disabled
When the MSL4048 mailslot is enabled, all of the storage slot numbers are adjusted (as shown in Figure 4). The storage slots in the other magazines are renumbered accordingly. Figure 4: Lower-left magazine slot numbering with mailslot enabled
NOTE: For the slot numbering for your Library in its current configuration, see the Status: Inventory page under Remote Management Interface. |
