The ESL9326SL comes with a complete 326 slot library system configured with the associated number of drives, installation and user’s manual, one-piece SDLT media, a copy of the Storage Management Solutions CD. Customers are required to also purchase the necessary number of host bus adapters, SCSI cables, SDLT media, country specific power cords (pair) 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.

     
What is Storage Services Bundling?
The Storage Services Bundling takes the existing storage products along with the existing services and creates bundles of storage hardware/software and appropriate services. The increased level of support provides for a higher level of storage system availability for the customer.
     
Overview
The Ultimate in High-Capacity Unattended Backup and Restore
The StorageWorks ESL9326SL Enterprise Library 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 ESL9326SL 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 SDLT drives, the ESL9326SL offers up to 35.86-TB of native data storage and native transfer rates up to 633.6GB/hr.
     
The ESL9000 Enterprise Library Family
The ESL9326SL enterprise library is part of the ESL9000 class enterprise DLT library family. 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 ESL9326SL offers the best in high availability for continuous operation.
     
Hot Pluggable Drives
The ESL9326SL 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 ESL9326SL accepts only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9326SL library.
     
Proven Reliability
Using DLT tape drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 1,000,000 load/unload cycles, the ESL9326SL provides the necessary high reliability.
     
SDLT Technology
Digital Linear Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system, and a read after write 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 new generation SDLT tape drive, in addition to enhanced capacity and backup performance provides advantages several new features such as Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR™) technology, Pivoting Optical Servo (POS), Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads (MRC), Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel technology and Backward Read Compatible with earlier generation of DLT drives, to be able to read media written in DLT IV format.
     
Manageability
The ESL9326SL 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 5.0 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 ESL9326SL 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.

Media Partitioning Support:

Media partitioning is the capability to create logical pools or partitions in a tape library. The ESL9198DLX tape library supports media partitioning capability to support multiple drives types within a single library. Currently this capability supports the 40/80GB DLT, SDLT 110/220GB drives (LVD only), and SDLT160/320. Media partitioning will support Ultrium 230 tape drives for ProLiant in the near future. 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 withLegato SmartMedia 1.5 (SM 1.5 releases in Oct)

The ESL9326SL Library support media partitioning, 40/80GB DLT, SDLT110/220 (LVD only), and SDLT 160/320 (LVD only) may be mixed in the library, when they are configured in separate partitions. Upgrade of firmware to v 3.0+ , and 5 MB memory module (274673-B21) on the ESL9326SL is required to support SDLT 160/320 drives.
