Library Overview

Although the library does not require tape cartridges to have bar code labels, properly labeled tape cartridges and full storage bins speed up the inventory process and greatly improved media management.

Tape drives

The ESL E-Series tape library can hold up to 24 Ultrium 460, Ultrium 460-FC, or SDLT 320 tape drives. When fewer than 24 drives are installed in the library, the tape drives must occupy consecutive drive clusters, beginning with drive cluster 0 (see Figure 2 on page 18).

Caution: It is critical to ensure that the media you use matches the format of your tape drive. Cleaning cartridges and formatted data cartridges are unique for each drive technology. Damage may occur if inappropriate media is used in tape drives.

Tape cartridges and cleaning cartridges are not included with the library, and must be ordered in addition to the library.

Cleaning cartridges

Note: By default, Autoclean is disabled. Ensure your application software supports this feature before enabling it.

If a drive experiences read/write errors when the Autoclean function is enabled, the library issues an error message stating that drive cleaning is required. Without user intervention, the media picker replaces the data cartridge with a cleaning cartridge. When the cleaning procedure finishes, the media picker returns the data cartridge to the drive.

Note: Ultrium cleaning cartridges have a 50-use limit, while SDLT cleaning cartridges have a 20-use limit. Once a cleaning cartridge has reached its use limit it must be replaced. If the drive continues to request cleaning after a cleaning cartridge has been loaded, replace the cleaning cartridge with a new one.
