Chapter 1 Overview
SCSI Configuration
2 Sun StorEdge™ L25 Tape Library and Sun StorEdge™ L100 Tape Library User’s Guide
The cartridges are stored in up to eight independently removable
cartridge magazines and up to four fixed cartridge slots.
SCSI Configuration 1
The L25 and L100 library modules come configured for HVD SCSI.
One SCSI bus is provided for the library robotics and for each tape
drive installed. These SCSI buses are SCSI-2 fast/wide (8/16 bit).
Library Scalability 1
The L25 and L100 library modules can be used as stand-alone
libraries, or can be combined with other L25 and L100 library
modules and a StackLink mechanism in a standard 19-inch rack to
form a larger library system (called a multiple library stack). The
multiple library stack appears as a single large capacity library to
the host.
The StackLink mechanism connects the library modules in the
multiple library stack and transports cartridges from module to
module. Each tape drive has access to all the tape cartridges in the
stack.
Once the StackLink mechanism is installed in the rack, you can add
library modules simply by sliding them into place and making the
necessary electrical connections.
Table 1
lists the capacities of all the sizes of multiple library stack
you can create using L25 library modules. Table 2
lists the
capacities of all the sizes of multiple library stack you can create
using L100 library modules. You can obtain different capacities by
combining L25 and L100 library modules in a multiple library
stack.
