Chapter 1. Introduction The IBM TotalStorage Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 2 Tape Drive is a high-performance, high-capacity data-storage device that is designed to backup and restore Open Systems applications. The drive can be integrated into an enclosure, such as a desktop unit, tape autoloader, or tape library. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive (called Generation 2) is the second-generation tape drive in the Ultrium series of products. It is available as Model T400 with a Small Computer Systems Inter

Cartridge Compatibility The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive (Generation 2) uses the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge and is compatible with the cartridges of its predecessor, the IBM Ultrium Internal Tape Drive (called Generation 1). The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive performs the following functions: v Reads and writes Generation 2 cartridges to Generation 2 format v Reads and writes Generation 1 cartridges to Generation 1 format v Does not write Generation 2 cartridges to Generation 1 format v Do

SCSI Attachment To communicate with a server, the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive uses the Ultra160 LVD SCSI interface. Physical Characteristics of the SCSI Interface The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive contains a high-density, 68-pin, D-shell receptacle connector (HD68) for attachment to the server. The HD68 connector includes the connectors for the SCSI signal, the SCSI ID, and the drive’s power. The drive supports LVD SCSI cables with HD68 connectors. For a list of available cables, see Append

Address Assignments Each device on a SCSI bus must have a SCSI identifier (ID) that identifies it to the server. When you install the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, you can specify its SCSI ID in one of three ways: v By attaching jumpers to the SCSI ID connector v By using your enclosure’s SCSI ID switch v If you are installing the drive into a tape library, by setting the SCSI ID through the LDI or RS-422 interface For more information, see “Setting the SCSI ID (SCSI Drive Only)” on page 17. Installing,

Fibre Channel Attachment Attention: A Class I laser assembly, in the optical transceiver, is mounted on the Ultrium Fibre Channel electronics card. This laser assembly is registered with the Department of Health and Human Services and is in compliance with IEC825. To communicate with a server, the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive has one Fibre Channel interface (also called a port). In accordance with the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the port runs Fibre Channel Protocol (wh

Speed The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive’s Fibre Channel interface facilitates data at 2 Gb/s (200 MB/s). It automatically negotiates to a rate of 1 Gb/s (100 MB/s) if the system or switch to which it connects does not support the 2-Gb rate (if this is the case, you may experience performance degradation). You can force the drive to an explicit speed by placing jumpers on the Fibre Channel (FC) configuration/status connector. For more information, see “Step 4. Change the Link Services of the Drive (option

World Wide Names Each Ultrium 2 Tape Drive has an 8-byte World Wide Node Name and an 8-byte World Wide Port Name that is assigned by IBM Manufacturing. The World Wide Node Name identifies the drive’s SCSI logical unit; the World Wide Port Name identifies the physical port on the drive. An enclosure queries the World Wide Names through the LDI or RS-422 interface; a server queries the Names through the Fibre Channel interface. The Ultrium 2 Tape Drive reports the World Wide Names to switches. You
