Product Highlights
Disaster Recovery - DRTape

The 20/40-GB DAT tape drive has been improved with the added feature of DRTape**. DRTape insures that in case of a system failure, you will be able to restore your system from a single tape.
What is Disaster Recovery: A 20/40-GB DAT Tape Drive that can:

  • Under Disaster Recovery (DR) situations, ID itself as a boot device
  • Hold enough information to bring the system up for a DR restore from tape
  • Is completely self contained in that it needs no other software or CD's to restore the system.

**NOTE: DRTape does not support Smart Array Controllers. Please see "DRTape Compatibility Matrix" at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/drtape/compatibility.html for further information regarding the minimum requirements for operating DRTape.
NOTE: This Web site is available in English only.

Hot Plug
  • Able to mix tape drives and hard drives on the same SCSI Bus without slowing down the performance of the system.
  • Supported on the Smart Array 5300 controller and Integrated Smart Array controller and selected AlphaServer host bus adapters.
  • Hot plug components can be replaced without powering down the system. This feature significantly enhances system availability.
Reliability Advancements in tape technology have produced a tape drive that requires less cleaning and provides improved backup/restore operation. Some of these new advancements include an automatic, rotating, head-cleaning sweeper that is used during the write or read recovery procedure to dislodge debris in the recording heads and drum. This DDS-4 drive has a MTBF rating of 250,000 hours at a 30% duty cycle.
Automated Head Cleaning Reduces head-cleaning cycles by two times over DDS-3.
Industry-Standard DDS-4 DDS-4 format has a drum rotation speed of 8503 rpm while the tape moves at 11.6 mm/s. Features of the format and implementation of it allow an increased linear bit density compared with DDS-3 drives, achieving a greater transfer rate and capacity.
Easy Installation and Serviceability With the HP hot plug tape configuration, the server does not need to be taken off-line to install the tape drive. Simply plug the tape drive into a 1.6" hot plug bay or add the top hat for 2 1-inch bay configurations and install the backup software.
Qualified with SANworks Data Protection Suite for Tape Utilities Complete set of Data Protection Tools focused on simplifying the process of configuring, implementing, and maintaining a data protection strategy. Includes software applications such as Tape Storage Management Console and Insight Manager, as well as product information tools including technology White Papers, Service Advisories, and the Storage Products CD. For information on the Data Protection Software Suite, please check the "Related Options" section of this QuickSpec or visit the Web site at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/storage/software.html
NOTE: This Web site is available in English only.
Mix and Match Capabilities With the hot plug tape configuration, customers are now able to mix 1" hot plug hard drives and tape drives on the same SCSI bus even if they are using the Integrated Smart Array Controller or the Smart Array 5300 series controller. Customers will no longer need a separate controller for their tape configurations. Similar support is available on selected AlphaServer host bus adapters.
Compatibility and Integration Testing

The HP 20/40 GB DAT tape drives are fully supported and compatible with ProLiant and AlphaServer systems and controllers. HP thoroughly tests products with leading software and operating systems, including VERITAS Backup Exec, CA ARCserve and Dantz Retrospect.
High Availability

With hot plug configurations, you never have to take down your system to replace a failed or non-responding tape device. This increases your uptime for customer accessibility to your systems.
