IBM 8342 TS3310 LTO6 Fibre Tape Drive
The IBM System Storage® TS3310 Tape Library consists of IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library Model L5B (3576 Model L5B) and IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library Model E9U (3576 Model E9U).
The TS3310 Tape Library now incorporates the new IBM LTO Ultrium 6 full-high 8 Gbps dual-port Fibre Channel tape drives feature (#8342) to enhance drive performance over the previous generation IBM LTO Ultrium 5 Tape Drives with a native data transfer rate of up to 160 MB/sec. Mixed Ultrium generations and attachment tape drive types are supported where drive space is available.
IBM new Ultrium 6 Fibre Channel tape drives are encryption capable. The TS3310 Tape Library incorporates IBM Multi-Path Architecture with logical libraries equal to the number of drives installed.
The TS3310 Tape Library supports the LTO Generation 6 media specification of an over double compressed capacity of up to 6.25 TB with 2.5 to 1 compression (up to 2.5 TB native capacity) compared to previous LTO 5 compressed capacity of up to 3.0 TB with 2:1 compression (up to 1.5 TB native capacity) per tape cartridge. IBM Ultrium 6 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 6 and 5 Data Cartridges, and can read LTO Ultrium 4 Data Cartridges.
IBM Ultrium 6 enhancements that help improve performance and reliability include:
LTO Generation 6 media specification native data transfer rate up to 160 MB/sec
Support for LTO Generation 6 media specification tape cartridge compressed capacity of up to 6.25 TB with 2.5 to 1 compression per cartridge
A larger 1 GB internal buffer
Support for media partitioning and self-describing tape
LTO Ultrium 6 encryption support
Also new to the TS3310 Tape Library, the IBM Tape System Reporter (TSR) enables administrators to gather usage statistics for multiple TS3500 and TS3310 libraries using a centralized Java-based server application. Administrators can generate custom reports on the health and utilization of tape cartridges, tape drives and tape libraries by querying the TSR database directly or using the optional Windows-based client.
An additional enhancement for the TS3310 Tape Library reduces the time required to obtain logs and update drive firmware for LTO Ultrium 5 and newer tape drives. With the web interface, users can transfer drive logs and drive firmware at very high speeds over an internal Ethernet interface. For tape drives in the base module TS3310 Model L5B, library-to-drive Ethernet cables feature (#6001) is required. For tape drives in the expansion module TS3310 Model E9U, an Ethernet Expansion Blade feature (#3470) is required.
Also, the IBM TS3310 Command Line Interface (CLI) program can now be used to access the TS3310 library from a CLI. This is in addition to the TS3310 web user interface.
The IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library is extremely modular with physical scalability varying from the 5U Model L5B base library to four additional Model E9U expansion units. This automated tape library is designed to provide:
Space-efficient design with modular, stackable Model E9U Expansion Frame options providing growth, scalability, and flexibility
IBM LTO Ultrium 6 Fibre Channel dual-port tape drive support and integration
Support for LTO Ultrium 6 data and WORM tape cartridges
Support for three encryption management methods:
Application managed, system managed, and library managed
System managed and library managed encryption is available through the Transparent LTO Encryption feature
Support for media partitioning and self-describing tape with Linear Tape File System™ (LTFS) Library Edition and LTFS Storage Manager software
Support for mixed generations of Ultrium tape drives and media
Path failover, optional for both control paths and data paths
Capacity on Demand growth options for its expansion modules
Stand-alone library (up to 14U) or optional rack mounting in an industry-standard 19-inch rack
IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library Model L5B is a 5U base library unit, which contains the library control module, fixed tape cartridge storage of 35 slots, a configurable I/O station of 6 slots, a touchscreen display, cartridge handling robotics, and up to two LTO Ultrium 6, Ultrium 5, or Ultrium 4 Tape Drives.
IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library Model E9U is an optional 9U expansion module. Each E9U expansion module can accommodate up to four LTO Ultrium 6, Ultrium 5, or Ultrium 4 Tape Drives, additional storage slots, and a configurable I/O station of twelve slots. Up to four TS3310 E9U tape expansion modules can be added to the TS3310 Model L5B Tape Library, either at the time of purchase or as a follow-on upgrade to fill a full 41U rack. For configurations of 23U and above, the TS3310 Tape Library and expansion modules must be installed in a rack. Rack doors are required for any library that has more than 14 drives installed.
