Fibre Channel Ports to Fibre Tape Devices
Fibre Channel tape devices can be directly connected to the Fibre Channel ports on a Storage
CLIM or an FCSA in an IOAM enclosure. With a Fibre Channel tape drive connected to the
system, you can use the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities to save data to and restore data from
tape.
SAS Ports to SAS Disk Enclosures
SAS disk enclosures can be connected directly to the two HBA SAS ports on a Storage CLIM
with this exception:
Daisy-chain configurations are not supported.
SAS Ports to SAS Tape Devices
SAS tape devices have one SAS port that can be directly connected to the HBA SAS port on a
Storage CLIM. Each SAS tape enclosure supports two tape drives. With a SAS tape drive connected
to the system, you can use the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities to save data to and restore data
from tape.
Storage CLIM Devices
This subsection includes:
• “Factory-Default Disk Volume Locations for SAS Disk Devices” (page 58)
• “Configuration Restrictions for Storage CLIMs” (page 58)
• “Configurations for Storage CLIM and SAS Disk Enclosures” (page 58)
The NonStop BladeSystem uses the rack-mounted SAS disk enclosure and its SAS disk drives
are controlled through the Storage CLIM. This illustration shows the ports on a Storage CLIM:
NOTE: Both the Storage and IP CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more
information about the CIP subsystem, see the Cluster I/O Protocols Configuration and Management
Manual.
This illustration shows the locations of the hardware in the SAS disk enclosure as well as the I/O
modules on the rear of the enclosure for connecting to the Storage CLIM.
