Drive Upgrade Kits
ESL9000 add-on DLT40/80GB drive HVD 161267-B21
Passthrough kit 161268-B21
The ESL9326DX comes with a complete 326 slot library system configured with the associated number of drives, two country specific power cords, installation and user’s manual, one-piece DLT IV media, one DLT cleaning tape, and a copy of the Storage Management Solutions CD. Customers are required to also purchase the necessary number of host bus adapters, SCSI cables, DLT media, and applications software licenses in order to complete the library solution.
Due to the size and weight of the unit, a pre- sales site survey is required. The pre- sales site survey document is on http://www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/installation_guides/146587-001.html
Installation services can be ordered separately on HP Services as part of each library order (requires scheduling with local HP Services provider).
Note: Does not include special site work, which may be required as a result of not meeting minimum site survey requirements.
  
Overview
The Ultimate in High-Capacity Unattended Backup and Restore
The StorageWorks ESL9326DX Enterprise Library by provides the ultimate in high-capacity unattended backup and restore for customers with large server pools serviced by network attached storage devices or storage area networks. The consolidation of the enterprise’s data into a single shared storage device requires that these devices provide both high capacity and high performance. With the consolidation of backup data into a single device also comes the increased need for redundancy and high availability. The ESL9326DX can provide years of fully automated operation for backup save and restore, and hierarchical storage management of critical data when coupled with a variety of qualified industry-standard backup application solutions. With 326 slots and up to 16 40/80 DLT drives, the ESL9326DX offers up to 13.04 TB of native data storage and native transfer rates up to 345.6 GB/hr.
 
The ESL9000 Enterprise Library Family
The ESL9326DX Enterprise Library is part of the ESL9000 series of tape libraries. With its high availability feature set, the ESL9000 family provides for maximum uptime. Based on PCI backplane architecture, the ESL9000 family also provides a simple upgrade path for future plug-in features.
 
High Availability
As data becomes more and more mission critical and downtime becomes more costly to the enterprise, customers are requiring high availability consolidated storage solutions which offer hot-swappable components and redundancies of key operating sub-systems (tape drives, controllers, power supplies). With redundant power distribution, power supplies, and cooling fans, coupled with hot pluggable drive carriers, power supplies and cooling fan modules, the ESL9326DX offers the best in high availability for continuous operation.
 
Hot Pluggable Drives
The ESL9326DX uses hot pluggable DLT drive carriers, allowing drives replacement and additional DLT drives to be added for capacity expansion without interrupting backup and restore functions. These hot pluggable drive trays allow for easy scalability of performance, as well as provide an easy upgrade path towards future DLT drive technologies.
NOTE: The ESL9326DX accepts only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9326DX library.
 
Proven Reliability
Using DLT tape drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 1,000,000 load/unload cycles, the ESL9326DX provides the necessary high reliability.
 
Proven DLT Technology
Digital Linear Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system, and a read after write LZ correction system to provide high-capacity, high reliability data backup and restoration. DLT has fast become the industry-standard secondary storage tape format for departmental and enterprise backup. The 40/80 DLT drives used in the ESL9326DX can read previous versions of DLT cartridges (DLT tape IV, DLT tape IIIxt and DLT tape III).
 
Manageability
The ESL9326DX library configurations are fully supported through Insight Manager, providing information to administrators for both robotic, tape status changes, and fault status of redundant components (high availability fault status requires use of CIM 4.90 or later). TSMC (tape storage management console) software provides diagnostics and easy firmware upgrade capabilities. Other data and automation manageability features, including multi-host direct connectivity, are provided via specific third-party applications software packages.
 
Multi-unit Scalability
The ESL9326DX has the capability for multi-unit scalability, up to 5 libraries can be scaled together in a virtual library using passthrough kit to provide a maximum of 80 drives and 1630 cartridges*
*Current software limitations restrict support to 32 drives.

Application Support

Media partitioning is the capability to create logical pools or partitions in a tape library. The ESL9326DX tape library supports media partitioning capability to support multiple drives types within a single library. Currently this capability supports Compaq 40/80GB DLT and SDLT 110/220GB drives (HVD only). Media partitioning capability is available via the ISV backup application software being used to perform backup and restores. The following applications support media partitioning capability

  • Computer Associates Arcserve 2000 Build 15 for Windows NT/ 2000
  • VERITAS Backup Exec 8.6 for Windows NT/2000 Build 8.6.3808 and later
  • VERITAS Netbackup 3.4 or 3.4.1 with patch NB_3.4.1_1 for Windows NT/2000 and patch NB_3.4_1 for UNIX
  • Legato Networker 6.1 w/Legato SmartMedia 1.5


The ESL9326D/DX Library support media partitioning, 35/70GB DLT, 40/80GB DLT and SDLT110/220 (HVD only) maybe be mixed in the library, when they are configured in separate partitions. Upgrade of firmware (V2.3) and extension axis kit (249632-001) is required to support SDLT 110/220 drives.
