Modes of Usage
HP Ultrium tape drives and arrays can be used in different system
configurations; they can be directly attached to a VHD SCSI connector on a
server or fibre channel router. They can be used in a standalone (direct
attach) or network environments (both Local Area Network and Storage Area
Network).
To connect to fibre channel you must purchase and install a supported fibre
channel/SCSI router.
The tape drive or array should be connected to the VHD SCSI connector on
the server or router. Network users may need to take additional steps/to
ensure that their system is configured for optimum performance. These are
described in “Optimizing Performance” on page 105.
Direct Attach
The tape array is directly attached to a single server via a
SCSI link or a fibre channel/SCSI router.
