• A user with enterprise-class needs but not the budget

• An LTO user who needs…

…a library with more than 2 LTO drives,

…a library with 40 or more media slots,

…or, 2 or more small library systems.

• Any LTO user who needs flexibility to add…

…LTO drives and media,

…and, multiple SCSI and FC interfaces.

High-growthdata centers

M2800 Presentation | 10-2004 | PM | Tandberg Data Sales

M2800 Sales Scenario

• Problem: 10 TB (compressed) to back up on a rack mounted SAN in 8 hours

• Truth Assumptions: – All speeds are theoretical maximum’s that the SAN architecture is

capable of

– SAN backbone is either 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB

• Solution: M2800 w/ 5 LTO-2 FC Drives, 1 PSU, & Rack Mount Hardware Kit

• 1 LTO-2 drive compressed can write 252 GB/Hr

• 252 GB/Hr x 8 hours = 2,016 GB/Hr (~2 TB)

• 10,000 GB (10 TB) / 2,016 GB (~2 TB) = ~5 drives (4.96)

• Remember: IF this was SCSI, a 160 MB/sec SCSI bus is required for every two LTO-1 or -2 drives on the SCSI card

Partitioning in the M2800

What is Partitioning?

• Partitioning is a method of dividing the library’s physical resources into separate, independent entities

• The process of creating “Virtual Libraries” that are assigned exclusive use of a consecutive block of cartridge slots & one or more tape drives

• Partitions operate independently, sharing only the E/E port and the robot

• Partitioning can mix LTO drive generations, and drive & library interfaces all at the same time

M2800 Presentation | 10-2004 | PM | Tandberg Data Sales

Partitioning vs. SAN

• Partitioning allows sharing of the library and its resources

• Servers connected to partitions have access to the library, but only the drives and tape slots assigned to that partition

• SCSI partitioning (1-4) requires an additional Tandberg library SCSI interface card(s) to implement

– Each SCSI partition requires its own SCSI interface card, 1:1 ratio, 4 SCSI cards maximum

• SAN allows sharing of the library and its resources

• All servers on the SAN can have access to the same library and all of its contents, through the use of a SAN storage software agent

• SAN requires a larger financial commitment to implement

• SAN partitioning (1-8) only requires a single Tandberg library FC interface card

– 1:1-8 ratio, 1 FC card maximum

Partition Implementation

• Each partition requires a

consecutive block of cartridge slots

and at least one drive to use

• The M2800 library features options

for supporting up to 4 SCSI

partitions and 8 fibre channel

partitions

– This is not a simultaneous

feature with 4 SCSI libraries & 8

FC libraries

SCSI Partitioning Setup, 2 Partitions

• Partition 1 (shown in blue) consists of SCSI interface card 1 and drives 7 & 8.

• Partition 2 (shown in red) consists of SCSI card 2 and drives 1 through 6.

• Even though partitioning is in effect, two drives per 160 MB/sec SCSI LVD bus is required.

• 1 SCSI Library interface for each Partition, this example requires 2 SCSI Interface Cards

Partitioning Example with E/E Port installed, 4 Partitions

• 4 Partitions, 4 Virtual libraries

– Lib1: Slots 1 - 20 & Drives 1 & 2

– Lib2: Slots 21 - 64 - Drives 3 - 5

– Lib3: Slots 65 - 122 - Drives 6 & 7

– Lib4: - Slot 123 - 143 - Drive 8

• The parts shared by all libraries are

colored in red:

– Calibration block

– Entry/Exit Port (E/E Port)

– Robot

Fibre Partitioning Setup

Point to point or Switched Fabric example:

• With a fibre interface card installed in the library, cable the interface card directly to the Fibre HBA or switch

• With fibre drives installed cable directly to the HBA(s) or switch

• Specify the partitions through the library “partition” menu selecting different logical units (LUN’s) for each partition

• A maximum of 8 logical fibre partitions are available using 8 drives and 1 fibre channel interface card

M2800 Partitioning FAQ

Frequently asked questions regarding partitioning of the M2800 library

Why would I need partitioning?

• Need for backing up separate servers or workstations where network backups are not sufficient or possible

• Need for separation of “House” data within the same library– Operations– Accounting– Engineering– IT– Human Resources

• Need to use different backup applications

• Need to backup SCSI servers and Fibre Channel SAN

• Any other reason that would require the purchase of two separate libraries that would be used in close proximity to each other

M2800 Partitioning FAQ

• Can I use the E/E port with all partitions?

• The E/E port is a common part for all libraries, & virtual libraries will have access to

it:

• What happens if more than one library is trying to access the E/E port at the same

time ?

• If one partition is using the E/E port, other requests to use the E/E port will return a

SCSI busy status; depending upon the specific backup application program the

command may be re-tried

• Can each partition have a different emulation mode?

• Yes. Each partition is independent from another and can either run in X80 or X200

emulation mode, or native mode

• Does the library have to be partitioned equally?

• No, it is not necessary to partition the library equally. As long as the partitions

consist of a consecutive block of cartridge slots and at least one drive or

consecutive block of drives, the partition is valid. For example, one partition can

consist of slots 1-142 & drives 1-7, while the other partition is slot 143 and drive 8

M2800 Presentation | 10-2004 | PM | Tandberg Data Sales

• What happens if multiple software applications send move

requests to their partitions at roughly the same time?

• The robot manages move requests in a FIFO (First in First

out) mode. The First SCSI move request will be the first to

complete

• Simple commands such as moving tapes, loading drives, etc.

are quickly completed and will not cause a software

application to time-out, even if they are fourth in the queue:

• However depending on the specific software, commands that

take longer to complete such as scans and inventories can

possibly cause a time-out in the software and should be

spaced out accordingly:

Partitioning and Cleaning

• There are two ways of cleaning the LTO tape drives in the M2800 library – Autoclean and Software Controlled cleaning:

• If Autoclean is enabled on the library, a cleaning cartridge (installed in slot 143) will be used to clean all drives across all partitions automatically when the drives display “drive needs cleaning” status

• If the backup application (Software Controlled) is to control the cleaning, a cleaning cartridge must be placed within the slots of each partition and defined in each software installation
