Logical unit number (LUN) scanning The library uses a single SCSI or Loop ID per drive and dual LUNs to control the tape drive (LUN 0) and library accessor (LUN 1). The library requires a host bus adapter (HBA) that supports LUN scanning. If it is not enabled, your host system does not scan beyond LUN 0 and fails to discover the library.

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.) with multi-drop interconnection (daisy-chaining). For each daisy-chained device, the maximum cable length must be reduced by 0.5 meters (1.6 ft).
Attention: It is recommended that tape storage devices are connected on a separate HBA from disk storage devices to avoid potential configuration incompatibilities. IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573...

For example, if your library has four drives that are installed, you must have 4 or more data cartridges in the library before the start of the test. If there are fewer data IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573...
cartridges than drives in the library, an error message "Slot Empty" occurs, and the test does not complete successfully. The media type must be compatible with the drive type. Otherwise, an error message "Incompatible Media" occurs and the test fails. This page provides the system administrator with general tests to verify the usability and reliability of the library.
Service Library: Upgrade Firmware Note: The IBM TS3100 tape library and TS3200 tape library is a customer installed unit. The customer is responsible for the setup and maintenance of the tape library. The customer is charged for service if a service contract is not in place.
Note: During the update, no host drive action is possible. The drive update takes approximately 5 minutes. The system status panel (in the right of the browser window) changes from "update" to "ready". If incompatible firmware is transferred to the library or drive the Update function terminates with a message that indicates incompatible firmware.
Ensure that the library is idle before you attempt to complete any remote operation that takes the library offline. IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573...
This page is used to complete a library reboot. There is a default time delay when the Web User Interface page refreshes itself. This time is sufficient to reload the page. However, during a reboot, the connection to the library might be lost. If the connection is lost, the user must reload the page manually. Click Reboot to initiate the reboot.
5. Select Save then press the Enter button. Attention: If your library originally contained a Dedicated Cleaning Slot and was removed, it can only be reinstated by restoring factory default settings.

Page 189
To enable automatic cleaning of the drives when needed, a slot must be reserved, a cleaning cartridge must be present in the reserved slot, and Auto Clean must be enabled. Reserving slots Reserving a slot is accomplished by reducing the Active Slot count in any particular logical library. Slots are reserved beginning with the last available slot in the last magazine of the library.

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 might use other LTO-certified data cartridges, but they might not meet the standards of reliability that are established by IBM. The IBM LTO Ultrium data cartridge cannot be interchanged with the media used in other IBM non-LTO Ultrium tape products.
The head can then read or write data from or to the tape. IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573...
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, see the IBM Ultrium Tape Drive SCSI Reference. IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573...
WORM requirements To add WORM capability to your IBM LTO Ultrium 8 drives, you must use either IBM Ultrium 8 12 TB WORM tape cartridges or IBM Ultrium 7 6 TB WORM tape cartridges. See “Ordering media supplies” on page 182.
Cleaning cartridge With each library, a specially labeled IBM LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge is supplied to clean the drive head. The drive itself determines when a head must be cleaned. It alerts you by lighting the "Clean Drive" (amber LED) above the library Operator Control Panel. To clean the head manually, insert a cleaning cartridge into the tape load compartment (see “Inserting the cleaning cartridge”...
Tape cartridges are ordered with the labels included or with custom labels. To order tape cartridges and bar code labels, see “Ordering media supplies” on page 182. The bar code for usage in IBM tape libraries must meet predefined specifications. They include (but are not limited to): v Eight uppercase alphanumeric characters, where the last 2 characters must be M8 or Lx.
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: Providing training v Post procedures that describe appropriate media handling in places where people gather.
The time varies, depending on the environmental extremes to which the cartridge was exposed. v Ensure that all surfaces of a cartridge are dry before it is inserted. IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573...
v Do not expose the cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight. v Do not expose recorded or blank cartridges to stray magnetic fields of greater than 100 oersteds (for example, terminals, motors, video equipment, X-ray equipment, or fields that exist near high-current cables or power supplies).
Procedure 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”). Then, immediately use data recovery procedures to minimize chances of data loss.

5. On the leader pin ( 1 in Figure 156), locate the open side of the C-clip 2 . The C-clip is a small black part that secures the tape 3 to the pin. 6. Remove the C-clip from the leader pin by using your fingers to push the clip away from the pin. Set the pin aside and discard the clip.
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. IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573...
When you ship a cartridge, place it in its jewel case or in a sealed, moisture-proof bag to protect it from moisture, contaminants, and physical damage. Ship the cartridge in a shipping container that has enough packing material to cushion the cartridge and prevent it from moving within the container. Table 47 gives the environment for operating, storing, and shipping LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridges.
Order the cartridge from your IBM Sales Representative or (without labels) any authorized IBM Business Partner by specifying Machine Type 3589 Model 651.
