Some applications (and some servers) do not allow for sharing a library between systems. Configurations can be created that enable the library to process commands from multiple heterogeneous applications (such as an IBM System p application and a Windows NT application) and multiple homogeneous applications (for example, the same application run by several System p servers).

The SCSI specification does not allow gaps in the SCSI element addressing. Special handling is needed for empty drive slots to fulfill the specification. Also temporarily removed drives need to have their addresses preserved to not confuse the attached host and host application. Generally only drives which are currently physically available or temporarily removed are reported.
The library operates as a set of SCSI-3 devices. The Ultrium Tape Drives attach to servers using an LVD Ultra160 SCSI interface. Each SCSI drive sled uses shielded, HD68-pin connectors, and can attach directly to a 2-byte-wide SCSI cable. TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide...
Note: The maximum bus lengths stated in this table include the internal length of the bus. For maximum performance, multiple SCSI buses may be required (see “Using Multiple SCSI Buses”), and IBM Ultrium Tape Drives must be the only target devices that are active on the bus.
Or, contact your IBM Sales Representative. SCSI Differential - LVD IBM LVD tape devices support a bus length of 25 meters (82 ft.) point-to-point, and 12 meters (39 ft.) using multi-drop interconnection (daisy-chaining). For each daisy-chained device, the maximum cable length must be reduced by 0.5 meters (1.6 ft).
Fibre Channel Interface Fibre Channel allows for an active intelligent interconnection scheme, called a Fabric, to connect devices. Everything between the ports on Fibre Channel is called the Fabric. The Fabric is most often a switch or series of switches that takes the responsibility for routing.

Chapter 6. Using Ultrium Media To ensure that your IBM Ultrium Tape Drive conforms to IBM's specifications for reliability, use only IBM LTO Ultrium tape cartridges. You may use other LTO-certified data cartridges, but they may not meet the standards of reliability that are established by IBM.
For more information, see “Bar Code Label” on page 6-5. The insertion guide ( 6 in Figure 6-1 on page 6-1) is a large, notched area that prevents the cartridge from being inserted incorrectly. TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide...
To control the capacity of the cartridge (for example, to obtain a faster seek time) issue the SCSI command SET CAPACITY. For information about this command, refer to the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Drive SCSI Reference. WORM (Write Once, Read Many) Cartridges Certain records retention and data security applications require a Write Once, Read Many (WORM) method for storing data on tape.
Requirements for WORM Capability To add WORM capability to your IBM LTO Ultrium 6 drive(s), you need to use either IBM Ultrium 6 2500 GB WORM tape cartridges or IBM Ultrium 5 1500 GB WORM tape cartridges (see “Ordering Media Supplies”...

Tape cartridges can be ordered with the labels included or with custom labels. To order tape cartridges and bar code labels, see “Ordering Media Supplies” on page 6-20. The bar code for usage in IBM tape libraries must meet predefined specifications. They include (but are not limited to):...
Guidelines for Using Bar Code Labels Apply the following guidelines whenever using bar code labels: v Use only IBM-approved bar code labels on cartridges to be used in an IBM tape library. v Do not reuse a label or reapply a used label over an existing label.
Incorrect handling or an incorrect environment can damage cartridges or their magnetic tape. To avoid damage to your tape cartridges and to ensure the continued high reliability of your IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drives, use the following guidelines: Provide Training v Post procedures that describe proper media handling in places where people gather.
Ensure Proper Packaging v When shipping a cartridge, use the original or better packaging. v Always ship or store a cartridge in a jewel case. v Use only a recommended shipping container that securely holds the cartridge in its jewel case during transportation. Ultrium Turtlecases (by Perm-A-Store) have been tested and found to be satisfactory (see Figure 6-5).

Perform the following steps: 1. Look for cartridge mishandling. 2. Use the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit (part number 08L9129) to correctly seat the pin (see “Repositioning or Reattaching a Leader Pin” on page 6-12). Then, immediately use data recovery procedures to minimize chances of data loss.
If the leader pin in your cartridge becomes dislodged from its pin-retaining spring clips or detaches from the tape, you must use the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit (part number 08L9129) to reposition or reattach it. (Do not reattach the pin if you must remove more than seven meters (23 feet) of leader tape.) The sections...

Attention: v Use only the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit to reattach the leader pin to the tape. Other methods of reattaching the pin will damage the tape, the drive, or both. v Use this procedure on your tape cartridge only when the leader pin detaches from the magnetic tape and you must copy the cartridge's data onto another cartridge.

Before you use a tape cartridge, acclimate it to the operating environment for 24 hours or the time necessary to prevent condensation in the drive (the time will vary, depending on the environmental extremes to which the cartridge was exposed). 6-18 TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library Setup, Operator, and Service Guide...
The best storage container for the cartridges (until they are opened) is the original shipping container. The plastic wrapping prevents dirt from accumulating on the cartridges and partially protects them from humidity changes.
