1 About the SL150 Library
This chapter provides an overview of Oracle's StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library, which is a scalable, rack-mounted, modular automated tape library.
The SL150 library has two module types: the Base Module and Expansion. Each module has two drive slots and stores up to 30 tapes in two 15-slot magazine (one on the left side and the other on the right side). Additionally, a four slot Mailslots resides in the base module for entering or ejecting tapes.

About the Base Module
A single base module is the smallest SL150 library configuration. The base module is a 3U rack mounted unit. It ships with:
-
Front control panel
-
Two 15-slot tape magazines (left and right)
-
Standard Mailslot with four tape slots (firmware version 2.25, and later, supports a 19 slot Expanded Mailslot configuration)
-
Robot
-
Power supply (with an option to add a second power supply)
-
Tape drive (with an option to add a second drive)
-
Accessory kit containing rail components, attachment hardware, and labels
The rear of the base module contains an Ethernet port for remote management and nine USB Type A ports to connect to expansion modules.
About the Expansion Module
An expansion module provides additional cartridge storage and tape drive capacity. Expansion modules are installed below the base module. The base module connects to each of the expansion modules using a USB Type A connector.
Expansion modules ship without tape drives or power supplies. The expansion module can contain up to two drives and two power supplies. If there is no tape drive, the expansion module can operate off of the power provided by the USB cable, it does not require a power supply. If you install a drive in the expansion module, you must also install at least one power supply. You can add a second power supply for redundancy, however one power supply can provide power for two drive.
Each expansion module requires 2U of rack space. An expansion module ships with:
-
Two 15-slot tape magazines (left and right)
-
Module controller
-
Expansion cable that has two USB Type A connectors
-
Mounting hardware to secure the module to the rack
-
Identification labels
About the Mailslot
The four cartridge mailslot is located above the right magazine in the base module. The mailslot to imports and exports cartridges without interfering with robot operations. See "Import and Export Cartridges Using the Mailslot".
The expanded mailslot configuration converts a 15-slot magazine into an additional mailslot. Configuring the expanded mailslot requires library firmware versions 2.25 and later.
About the Robot
The robot automatically retrieves and inserts cartridges into the mailslot, storage cells, and tape drives. Within the base module, a bull wheel and pulley rotate to raise and lower the robot hand, which contains a label barcode scanner and retractable grippers to grab and release cartridges.
About Tape Drives
The SL150 library supports the following tape drives. You can install a mix of HP and IBM drives of various generations within the library.
-
HP LTO half-height generation 5 or 6 SAS or short wavelength FC interface
-
IBM LTO half-height generation 6, 7, or 8 SAS or short wavelength FC interface
Note:
LTO-5, 6, and 7 drives can read two generations back and write one generation back. LTO-8 drives can read and write one generation back. For best capacity and performance, always use cartridges of the same generation as your drives.
About M8 Compatibility
With library code 3.50 and above, the library supports the M8 cartridge type, which is an LTO7 cartridge initialized to a 9TB capacity by an LTO8 drive (instead of the standard 6TB capacity of a standard LTO7 cartridge).
For an LTO8 drive to initialize an LTO7 cartridge to M8, the cartridge must be new (unused) and contain an M8 label. Only LTO8 drives can read and write M8 cartridges.
About Library Managed Encryption (LME)
With library code 3.50 and above, the library can manage the enrollment and key delivery for IBM LTO-7 and higher drives. Each drive that you enroll still requires an encryption activation file. However, with LME, the library is the OKM agent instead of individual drives, meaning you only need to enroll the library with OKM rather than individual drives. You will still need to use VOP to enroll HP LTO-6 or lower drives.
For more information on configuring library managed encryption, see "Configure Library Managed Encryption (LME)".
For more information on the behavior of the ports, see "Behavior of Port 1 and Port 2".
Behavior of Port 1 and Port 2
With library code 3.50 and above, you can configure Network Port 2 for library managed encryption (LME). Enabling LME on Port 2 changes the behavior of the ports. If you do not configure Port 2, the behavior of the ports continues to function as before (with Port 1 sending UI, SNMP, and email alerts (SMTP) traffic, and Port 2 reserved for service use).
IMPORTANT:
If you plan to configure Port 2, use a separate subnet and gateway than Port 1, otherwise all traffic will go through Port 1.Table 1-1 Port Configuration Options
| LME Configuration | Port 1 Settings | Port 2 Settings |
|---|---|---|
|
LME enabled on Port 2 |
Configured normally. Used for UI, SNMP, SMTP, SDP-2 traffic. |
New address with different subnet and gateway than Port 1. Used for OKM traffic only. |
|
LME enabled on Port 1 (not recommendedFoot 1 ) |
Configured normally. Used for UI, SNMP, SMTP, OKM traffic. |
192.168.10.10 (default) Used for SDP-2 traffic and direct Service laptop connection. |
|
No LME |
Configured normally. Used for UI, SNMP, SMTP traffic. |
192.168.10.10 (default) Used for SDP-2 traffic and direct Service laptop connection. |
Footnote 1 Note that key traffic will be mixed with other traffic.
Port 1 Behavior with LME Enabled on Port 2
With Port 2 enabled for LME, Port 1 continues to act as the primary port for the customer to manage the library sending UI, SNMP, and email alert (SMTP) traffic. In addition, Port 1 will send SDP-2 traffic. Since the library will only send LME (OKM) traffic through Port 2, this requires the Oracle Service tool SDP-2 to now be connected to Port 1 when LME is enabled on Port 2.
Port 2 Behavior with LME Enabled
When Port 2 is configured for LME, the library will send all OKM communication through Port 2. A service representative can still directly connect to Port 2 for troubleshooting when the port is configured for LME. However, they must configure the laptop with a valid IP address on the same subnet as Port 2.
About Tape Drives With Two Ports
When a tape drive has two ports, host applications can treat the second drive port as a failover port. The library may report a Check Condition to a command received on one port when the other port is busy with a library command. When a host application receives either of the following new Check Conditions, it should reissue the command:
-
Not Ready, Logical Unit Offline (02/04/12h)
-
Aborted Command, Logical Unit Communication Failure (OBh/08/00)
Notes:
The half-height LTO-5 FC tape drive has one port while the other supported drives have two ports.Only some host applications support this feature. Be sure to check the status of this feature with your application.
About Bridged Tape Drives
A bridged drive provides a single, unified control and data communication path between the library/partition and the host using the SAS or FC drive interface. A non-partitioned library requires one bridged drive. A partitioned library requires one bridged drive per partition. You select the bridged drive during library configuration (see "Configure Library Settings").
-
Code versions earlier than 2.0 support two partitions, and a maximum of two bridged drives located in the base module.
-
Code version 2.01, and later, supports up to eight partitions and bridged drives located in designated expansion modules.
You must connect the bridged drive to an HBA supporting multiple LUNs (also referred to as LUN scanning). The SL150 Library uses a single SCSI ID and two logical unit numbers (LUN). LUN 0 controls the tape drive and LUN 1 which is configured as a SCSI medium changer device controls the robotics. Data is sent to the remaining LUN on the bridged drive or to LUNs on the other, unbridged drives in the partition, all of which are configured as SCSI sequential-access (tape) devices.

For volt-amp (VA) measurements, add 2 percent to the Watt value.
For Btu/hr, multiply the total wattage number by 3.414.
Refer to the power calculator at:
http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/sun-power-calculators/calc/sl150-power-calculator-1954625.html
A minimum library configuration has a total idle power of 44 W (150 Btu/hr) and a steady state maximum of 67.5 W (230 Btu/hr).
A ten module library with 20 tape drives and 20 power supplies has a total idle power of 338 W (1154 Btu/hr) and a steady state maximum of 751 W (2564 Btu/hr).
Library Cartridge Capacity
Cartridge capacity depends on the base module hardware level and software version:
-
Hardware level 12 and 3.00 software supports one to 15 modules, one to 450 tape cartridges, and one to 30 tape drives.
-
Hardware levels up to 11 and software up to 2.6 support one to 10 modules, one to 300 tape cartridges, and one to 20 tape drives.
Note:
You cannot upgrade older hardware to level 12. You must order a new library to have hardware level 12.
The following table shows the number of Storage, Mailslot, and Tape Drive slots as Expansion Modules are added to the library configuration.

Networking and Host Communication
The library uses Ethernet cables for network connections. Always use shielded Ethernet cables to connect to a drive installed in a library.
SAS-2 and SAS-3 Configuration Issues
Caution:
The SAS driver for Solaris 10 (Update 8 and later) and Solaris 11 (11.1 and later) disrupts communications between Oracle Solaris and common tape backup applications.The SAS driver only allows one device driver to attach per device (sg, sgen, st, and so forth). Users must have every component in the following list to be affected:
-
Oracle Solaris 10 (Update 8 or later) or Solaris 11 (11.1 and later)
-
Any SAS-2 or SAS-3 HBA
-
Tape drives or libraries using a SAS-2 or SAS-3 connection
-
A backup application that requires multiple SAS drivers. The most common backup applications that use multiple device drivers include:
-
CA ARCserve
-
HP Data Protector
-
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
-
A SAS tape drive attached through a SAS-2 or SAS-3 HBA will work on the Solaris system using just the Solaris native commands such as dd or tar. However, this configuration is recommended for a stand-alone drive only.
If you want to use Oracle Solaris 10 (Update 8 and later) or Solaris 11 (11.1 and later) and a SAS-2 or SAS-3 HBA, you should use one of the following backup applications:
-
Oracle Secure Backup (OSB): 10.4.0.2 or later
-
EMC Networker: current release level with all patches applied
-
Symantec NetBackup: current release level with all patches applied
Power Over Ethernet (POE)
Network switches providing power over Ethernet (POE) must be IEEE certified.
Note:
A switch that is not IEEE certified might provide too much current over the cable and overload the Ethernet connection on the library. Results of an overload appear as the Ethernet port being unresponsive and the remote management interface not working.IPv6 Network Address Support
Library firmware versions 2.0 and later support a dual-stack network configuration that uses both IPv4 and IPv6. In dual-stack mode, the library continues to recognize IPv4 addresses while adding the use of IPv6 addresses. To configure the network address, see "Configure the Network Interfaces".
Always consult with the network administrator before configuring or changing IPv6 addressing and to get the length of the network prefix for your location.
SAN Connection Zoning
The library can be connected to the host HBA through a storage area network (SAN). Configure zoning on the FC switch so only the backup servers access the library.
Use zoning to partition a SAN into logical groupings of devices so that each group is isolated from the other and can only access the devices in its own group. Two types of zoning exist: Hardware zoning (based on physical fabric port number) and Software zoning (defined with the World Wide Node Name (WWNN) or World Wide Port Name (WWPN)).
The dynamic World Wide Name (dWWN) feature assigns world wide names to the library drive slots rather than the drives themselves, which allows you to swap or replace a drive without bringing down the entire operating system.
Software that Supports the SL150
About ACSLS (Automated Cartridge System Library Software)
ACSLS functions as the central service provider for all library operations, efficiently sharing library resources with any ACSLS-enabled application on any system, and allowing centralized library control across multiple StorageTek libraries.
ACSLS version 8.2 or later is required for interfacing with the SL150 Library.
ACSLS version 8.3 (second patch) is required for library firmware version 2.25, and later, which supports new ASC and ASCQ reporting.
Refer to the ACSLS documentation library for additional information regarding support for the SL150 Library and tape drives. See the Tape Storage section of OTN (http://docs.oracle.com/en/storage/#tab5).
Note:
-
ACSLS versions 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 do not support the Expanded Mailslot configuration (19 mailslots) available with library firmware version 2.25 or later.
-
ACSLS requires the SL150 setting for Drive Element Addressing be installed drives only.
Tape Drive support:
-
SL150 firmware version 2.60 and later:
-
LTO-7 requires the minimum of ACSLS version 8.4 with patch 1
-
LTO-5 and LTO-6 ACSLS version 8.4 or later
-
-
SL150 firmware version 2.50 with LTO-5 or LTO-6 requires a minimum of ACSLS version 8.3 patch 3.
About StorageTek Tape Analytics
StorageTek Tape Analytics (STA) is an intelligent monitoring application. It simplifies tape storage management and allows you to make informed decisions about future tape storage investments based on the current health of the tape storage environment.
Note:
STA requires a dedicated server. Oracle recommends that you place the STA server on the same subnet as the library to improve SNMP UDP reliability.To set up communications between the STA server and the libraries, you must perform some configuration procedures on the libraries and some on the STA server. STA uses both the v2c and v3 SNMP protocols to communicate with the library.
-
The initial communication handshake between a library and the STA server is done through the v2c protocol.
-
The traps and get functions are done through the v3 protocol. The authentication, encryption, and message integrity features in SNMP v3 provide a secure mechanism for sending library data.
For more information, refer to the STA documentation at:
http://docs.oracle.com/en/storage/#tab5
STA version 2.2.1 is the recommended minimum level to support the SL150 Library.
About Service Delivery Platform 2
The StorageTek Service Delivery Platform 2 (SDP-2) is a support enhancement solution that provides faster problem resolution, analysis and trending, and improved diagnostic capabilities. SDP is a remote application that can be installed on a Linux server that connects to the library. SDP collects device events and alerts support analysts, providing remote diagnosis and automatic service requests (ASR).
For more information, contact an Oracle representative or visit: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/asr/documentation/oracle-installed-storage-330027.html
To configure the library for SDP-2, see "Enable or Disable the Service Delivery Platform (SDP2)".

Footnote 1 This multimode (50-micron) fiber-optic cables connect Fibre Channel devices. These cables are orange with tan LC connectors. The tape drive only supports LC connectors and short wavelength SFP modules. Riser cable materials are not classified according to flammability. Plenum cables meet UL standards for flammability.
Footnote 2 This cable supports a 12 Gb/s transfer rate, and it must be used when the tape drive is connected to a SAS-3 HBA. Two LTO tape drives can be connected to one SAS-3 HBA with this cable.
