About this guide
1 Illustrated parts catalog

This chapter includes illustrations, descriptions, and spare part numbers for the VLS6000series
mechanical and system components.
NOTE:
The VLS6100 and VLS6500 nodes are ProLiant DL360 (G4) or (G4p) servers.
The VLS6200 node is a ProLiant DL360 (G5) server.
The VLS6600 node is a DL380 (G5) server.
The VLS6800 node is a ProLiant DL585 server.
IMPORTANT:
Effective July 1, 2006, The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive will
restrict the use of specific substances in newly manufactured electrical and electronic products. As a
result, some parts are now made with different, regulation-compliant materials. Except where otherwise
noted in this guide the parts look and function exactly like the existing non-regulation-compliant parts.
To ensure compliance with the directive when ordering a part, access the RoHS Information page on
Services Access Workbench at http://saw.cce.hp.com/km/saw/help.do?page=rohs, use the Search
feature at the top of the page to search for your product (for example, AG167A), then select Parts-Spares
on the left side of the screen. Check each parts product status in the product information field:
When product status is M (modified), replace only with another M part.
When product status is O (original), replace it with another O part. If the O part is unavailable
or out of stock, replace the part with the M part.
When product status is EMEA only, it has been modified but is only required to be supported as
modified in EMEA. In EMEA, treat it as M; in APJ and AME, treat it as O.

2 Component replacement
This section provides detailed instructions for replacing VLS6000series system components.
CAUTION:
Do not change the VLS hardware configuration. System failure may result. Only the standard VLS
hardware and hardware configuration has been tested and is supported.
Required tools
You will need the following items for some replacement procedures:
T-10 Torx screwdriver

T-15 Torx screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
#1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver
Safety considerations
Before performing component replacement procedures, review all the safety information in this guide.
Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
static-sensitive devices or micro circuitry. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers, such as
conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected to the
work surface and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.
Keep work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
foam packing.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic damage

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megaohm 10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
HP StorageWorks
37
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
Warnings and cautions

Before removing the node access panel, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING!
To
reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

Do not disable the AC power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Unplug the power cord from each power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it.
Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from
the equipment.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:

Post-replacement procedures
After replacing some components and performing certain service procedures, you must perform one
or more of the following procedures:
Install the disk array cover. See Installing the VLS6000-series disk array cover.
If you removed the disk array cover, re-install it to ensure proper airflow and cooling.
Power on the disk array(s). See Powering on VLS6000series disk arrays.
If you removed power to a disk array to replace a component, power on the disk array so it
is operational.
Install the node access panel. See Removing the VLS node access panel, Removing the VLS
node access panel, or Removing the VLS6800 node access panel for the node access panel
installation procedure.
If you removed the node access panel, re-install it to ensure proper airflow and cooling.
Power on the node. See Powering on VLS6000series systems.
If you powered off the node to replace a component, power on the node so it is operational.
Installing the VLS6000series disk array cover

To install the disk array cover:
50
1. Position the lid on the chassis so that the peg on the chassis (1) fits into the hole under the lid lever,

It has suffered a critical fault.
It is not seated properly in the disk array.
In the case of a hard drive, it is predicted to fail in the near future (assuming that it is seated
properly in the disk array).
In the case of a power supply, it is not plugged in.
NOTE:
The hard drive LEDs may not immediately illuminate when the disk array is powered on. The LEDs
illuminate after the hard drives are configured by the VLS software.
Powering on VLS6000series systems

To power on a VLS6000series system:
1. Power on all disk arrays in the VLS. See Powering on VLS6000series disk arrays.

Deduplication memory upgrade

Each VLS node requires 16 GB RAM to support deduplication.
Install additional DIMMs to achieve 16 GB total.
Use the procedure in DIMM to install the following:
397413-B21, HP 4 GB FBD PC2-5300 2 x 2 GB Kit
70
NOTE:
VLS nodes that require a memory upgrade typically have 4 x 1 GB DIMMs installed in slots 1A, 3A, 5B,
and 7B. These slot assignments are not required, but provide a slight performance boost.
Although they are not slot dependent, it is recommended you install the 2 x 2 GB DIMMs in slots 2C and
4C, and the 2 x 4 GB DIMMS in slots 6D and 8D.
After completing the memory upgrade, perform a Quick Restore. This may take approximately 20 to
30 minutes.
Processor
The VLS6100 node includes one processor. The VLS6500 node includes two processors. With two
processors installed, the node supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor
socket 1. However, if processor 1 fails, the system automatically boots from processor 2 and provides
a processor failure message.
The node uses embedded PPMs as DC-to-DC converters to provide the proper power to each processor.
CAUTION:
To prevent thermal instability and damage to the node, do not separate the processor from the heatsink.
The processor, heatsink, and retaining clip make up a single assembly.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible node malfunction and damage to the equipment, replace the processors with the
same make and type of processor.

System board
NOTE:
The VLS software ensures persistent WWNs on the FC ports, so that in the event of any hardware failure
and replacement (such as the system board or Fibre Channel host bus adapter), the VLS still appears
exactly the same to the external SAN.
The FC WWNs are based on the VLS serial number generated from the system boards MAC address.
The FC WWNs and VLS serial number are saved on the VLS hard drive once established.
HP StorageWorks
73
CAUTION:
If more than one VLS on a SAN is using the same serial number, neither VLS will work correctly.
This can occur if a system board is moved from one VLS to another VLS. If the second VLSs original
serial number is lost due to dual hard drive failure and the customer is unable to return the serial number
back to the original setting by reloading the saved virtual library configuration, the second VLS will
establish the same serial number as the first VLS.

Press Esc and then F10 to exit the BIOS and save your changes.
CAUTION:
The product ID number in the system board BIOS is read by the VLS software at
boot. If the product ID does not match the system board product ID stored in the VLS
software (listed above in step g), the VLS software triggers a web alert reporting
a capacity license violation, which generates a capacity violation notification alert
indicating that 0 LUNs are licensed, and disables all Fibre Channel host ports and
read/write operations.
If this occurs, the Command View VLS Identity Tab window will indicate the VLS model
as a VLS 6000 and the total usable capacity as 0 GB until the VLS is rebooted and
the product ID in the system board BIOS is corrected.
System board battery

If the node no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, you may need to replace the
battery that provides power to the real-time clock. Under normal use, battery life is 5 to 10 years.
WARNING!
The node system board contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide, a vanadium pentoxide, or an
alkaline battery pack. A risk of fire and burns exists if the battery pack is not properly handled. Read
the battery replacement notices in the HP StorageWorks 6000 Virtual Library System user guide before
installing or removing the system board battery.
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of batteries, battery packs, and accumulators with the general household waste. To
forward them to recycling or proper disposal, use the public collection system or return them to either
HP or an authorized service provider.

Platform migration
VLS6100, VLS6500, VLS6800, and VLS6200 can be upgraded to larger-capacity platforms via an
upgrade service.
The user purchases the base SKU of the VLS model to which they are upgrading.
MSA20(s) from the original device are migrated to the new VLS.
Customers determine their capacity needs, and then select a supported product to upgrade to from their
existing system. See Table 2.
For example, to upgrade to 20TB of capacity from a VLS6510 with 10TB, the user purchases a base SKU
VLS6840. The base SKU VLS6840 includes 10TB, which brings the total capacity to the desired 20TB.

*HP supports migrating a maximum of six MSA20 enclosures from a VLS6800 to a VLS6600 device.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT immediately attach and power on the existing MSA20s to the new VLS.
Read and understand the following procedure in its entirety before performing the upgrade.
NOTE:
As a result of the upgrade, the original node must be decommissioned. The new node will be assigned the
device FC WWPNs and virtual device serial numbers that were previously assigned to the original node.
In preparation for the upgrade, contact HP technical support to escalate to the world wide product service
manager, and get decommissioning instructions and new capacity licenses.
1. On the new VLS:
If the MSA20s were configured-to-order (the customer ordered the new VLS factory-racked), they must
be manually cleared of all data, and disconnected before the upgrade can succeed.
Perform steps a through g to clear the new MSA20s. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
a. Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator.
b. Select Storage Pools in the navigation tree.
c.
Select Rebuild All Storage Pools from the task bar.

CAUTION:
Rebuild Storage Pool destroys all current virtual tape cartridges in the system.
d. Select RAID 5 or RAID 6, based on your current requirements.

e.
Click Rebuild.
f.
The VLS will reboot to complete this operation.

When the VLS has powered off, but before it reboots, manually power down the MSA20 arrays
using the power buttons located on the back of the arrays.
g. Disconnect the new MSA20s from the new VLS.

2. On the new and original VLS products:
Perform this step if upgrading to 4Gb platforms. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
a. Verify that the new MSA20s are disconnected from nodes.
b. Verify that the new and original VLS products are running firmware version 2.1.1 or later.
c.
Upgrade firmware as needed.
3. On the original VLS:

a. Perform a Save Config. See Saving the device configuration
b. Power off the original VLS. See Powering off the system, and Powering off VLS6000 disk array(s).
c.
Disconnect the MSA20s from the original VLS.
d. Decommission the original node, and do NOT reconnect the original node to the SAN.
4. Install and connect the original MSA20s to the new node, but do NOT attach any of the new
MSA20s. See Installing the disk array(s) into a rack in HP StorageWorks 6000series Virtual
Library System user guide.
5. Power on the new node. See Powering on VLS6000series systems.
HP StorageWorks
77
6. Configure the new nodes network using the old nodes host name, domain, IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway.
7. Select Restore Config to return the original nodes virtual library configuration and serial number.
8. Reinstall any upgrade licenses that were on the original node. See HP StorageWorks 6000series
Virtual Library System user guide for the procedure. These do not need to be regenerated because the
new node will use the same serial number as the original node after the Restore Config is performed.
9. Generate and transfer new upgrade license keys to replace capacity licenses for the MSA20 array(s)
that comprised the base SKU of the original VLS. For example, a base VLS6100 SKU consists of one
MSA20 array. Therefore, you need one new capacity license for that array enclosure. See Table 3.

guide for the procedure.
11. Power off the new node. See Powering off the system.
12. Install and connect the new blank MSA20s that came with the new node.
13. Power on the new node.
This process ensures that the existing configuration and virtual cartridges, and the additional capacity
that came with the new node, are successfully transferred to the new node.

Fan
CAUTION:
NOTE:
The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature change
requires a fan speed increase to cool the server.
The server shuts down in the following scenarios:
At POST:
The BIOS suspends the server for 5 minutes if it detects a cautionary temperature level. If the
cautionary temperature level is still detected after 5 minutes, the BIOS performs an orderly
shutdown and enters Standby mode.
The BIOS performs an orderly shutdown if two or more fans have failed.
The server performs an immediate shutdown if it detects a critical temperature level.
HP StorageWorks
121
IMPORTANT:
An immediate shutdown is a hardware-controlled function and it overrides any firmware or software
actions.
In the operating system:
The Health Driver performs an orderly shutdown if it detects a cautionary temperature level.
If the server detects a critical temperature level before the orderly shutdown occurs, the
server performs an immediate shutdown. Additionally, the Health Driver performs an orderly
shutdown if more than one fan is failed or removed.
When Thermal Shutdown is disabled in RBSU, the server performs an immediate shutdown if it
detects a critical temperature level.
IMPORTANT:
An immediate shutdown is a hardware-controlled function and it overrides any firmware or software

VLS6000series disk array component replacement

Hard drive
CAUTION:
Before removing a hard drive from the disk array, be sure that a replacement hard drive is immediately
available. Removing a hard drive causes a significant change in the airflow within the disk array, and
the disk array could overheat if a replacement hard drive is not installed within a relatively short time.
Be careful when replacing a drive. The drives in the disk array are fragile.
1. Press the drive latch release button.
2. Pull the drive out of the disk array by its latch handle about 3 cm (1 inch) so that it is disconnected
from the backplane connector.
CAUTION:
A drive with a rapidly spinning disk can be difficult to hold securely. To decrease the
chance of dropping the drive, do not remove it completely from the disk array until the disk
has stopped rotating. This usually takes a few seconds.
3. When the disk is no longer spinning, remove the drive from the disk array.
Figure 184 Removing a disk array hard drive

1. Pull out the latch handle on the drive out as far as it can go.
2. Slide the replacement drive into the bay until it can go no further. About 1 cm (0.5 inch) of the

5 Service login
This chapter describes how to obtain root access to the VLS operating system through a secure shell
(network) or serial user interface (console) session. It also provides the root access CLI command syntax.
Obtaining root access allows you to:
Use UNIX commands, such as ls, ls l, cd, pwd, rm, exit, uptime, top, more, cat, vi,
view, tail, grep and so on, to troubleshoot and perform updates on the VLS
Use the VLS as an FTP client (but not as an FTP server for security reasons) to copy VLS files to
remote systems with FTP servers and get files from remote systems with FTP servers (see FTP
commands)
Change the trace log file logging level (see Trace logging level)
Create a support ticket from root (see Support ticket)
Change the CLI command output formats (see CLI output formats)
Perform CLI commands in batch mode (see Batch mode CLI)
For descriptions of the VLS user interfaces, their requirements, and the VLS CLI command set, see the HP
StorageWorks 6000 Virtual Library System user guide.
CAUTION:
Do not change VLS software configurations. System failure may result. Only the standard VLS software
configurations have been tested and are supported.
NOTE:
The Library & Tape Tools utility does not support the VLS at this time. Any L&TT diagnostics commands
will receive dummy data from the VLS.
Opening a secure shell session

To open a secure shell session:
1. Open a secure shell session to the VLS using a secure shell program (such as PuTTY) or by entering:
ssh <fully qualified VLS name> and then press Enter.
2. At the Login as: prompt, enter administrator and then press Enter.
3. At the Password: prompt, enter the administrator password and then press Enter.
The default administrator password is admin.
4. To access Root, enter the following:
hpservice p <password>
Where <password> is the current L&TT service temporary password.
The current L&TT service temporary password can be obtained from the web site:
http://hpcrlib1.gr.hp.com. Click Diagnostics and then HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools.
Then, select the appropriate option listed under Passwords.
HP StorageWorks
229
Closing a secure shell session

To close a secure shell session:
Enter either logout, done, quit, bye, or exit and then press Enter.
Opening a serial session

To open a serial session:
1. Connect a PC or workstation to the serial port on the rear of the VLS using the null-modem (serial)
cable provided.
2. Establish a CLI session using a terminal emulation program, such as Windows Hyperterminal.
3. Enter administrator or emergency for username.
4. Enter the administrator or emergency password.
The default administrator password is admin. The emergency password is repair.
5. To access Root, enter the following:
hpservice p <password>
Where <password> is the current L&TT service temporary password.
The current L&TT service temporary password can be obtained from the web site:
http://hpcrlib1.gr.hp.com. Click Diagnostics and then HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools.
Then, select the appropriate option listed under Passwords.
Closing a serial session

To close a serial session, click Logout at the top of the Console Manager window. This logs you out of the
Console Manager and displays the Logon window.
Root CLI command line syntax

The CLI command line syntax when running directly from the operating system with root access is:
/s2100/s2xmgr_java/bin/run_cli.sh -c connect -c <CLI command 1> -c <CLI
command 2> -c <CLI command last> -c bye
Table 7 Root command line arguments
Argument
Description
-i <filename>
Filename for an input command file. The CLI reads in this file and executes
its commands line by line. If there are multiple -l arguments, the CLI will
process the files from left to right. If any of the files contain a CLI exit
command, the CLI session will terminate.
-c <cmdline>
CLI command to execute. There may be multiple commands specified. If

there are multiple commands and a command has arguments associated
with it, the command plus its argument must be enclosed in double quotes.

Service login
A Service commands
This appendix describes the FTP commands to transfer files to and from the VLS, and commands to
change the VLS trace logging level and generate a VLS support ticket from root. It also describes the CLI
output format commands and CLI batch mode commands that can be ran from root. For more information
about the VLS CLI command set, see the HP StorageWorks 6000series Virtual Library System user guide.
FTP commands
FTP commands can be used to copy files from the VLS to a remote system with an FTP server running,
and also to copy files on a remote system with an FTP server running to the VLS, such as to copy a
firmware update file to the VLS.
To start an FTP session and transfer files:
1. Use the cd command to go to the directory on the VLS that the file you want to send is located, or
the directory where you want to store the file that you are receiving.
This step is optional, but makes it easier to perform the file transfer.
2. Enter the following to start an FTP session:
ftp <ip address or system name of system to connect to>
For example: ftp 10.0.0.99 or vlsexamp.xyz.com
3. At the Name (xxxxx:root): prompt, enter <user name>.
xxxx is the name of the system you are ftping.
4. At the Password: prompt, enter <password>.
5. At the ftp> prompt, enter bin.
6. Use the cd command to go to the directory on the remote system where the file you want to copy
is located or where you want to copy a file.
7. If you did not perform step 1, use the lcd command to go to the directory on the VLS that the file you
want to send is located, or the directory where you want to store the file that you are receiving.
8. (Optional) To list the current directory on the remote system, enter ls.
9. To get a file from the remote system, enter:
get <name of file to get>
10. To copy a file from the VLS to the remote system, enter:
put <name of file to copy>
11. To exit the FTP session, enter:
bye
Trace logging level

The default trace logging level is 1. The trace logging level can be changed to level 0 through 9. The
level of logging increases as the logging level number goes up.
Level 0Nothing logged
Level 1Logs any check condition and HBA driver events.
HP StorageWorks
231
Level 2Includes everything from level 1 plus logs all SCSI commands except for read/write
commands that do not have any errors.
To change the trace logging level, enter:
/S2100/DS/set_debug <subsystem> <debug level>
The <subsystem> can be all (to change all subsystems), fs, iom, vdisk, pdsk, trc, cfg, fc, scsi,
msg, cart, qdsk, compress, vtape, jthr, vlib, or gdsk.
The <debug level> can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
NOTE:
Change the logging level for all subsystems back to level 1 once service is completed.
Support ticket
Normally, you would create a support ticket using Command View VLS. However, you also have the
option of creating a support ticket from root.
To create a support ticket from root, enter:
/S2100/s2xmgr_java/bin/create_support_ticket.sh <output file>.zip
The <output file> can include a directory name, such as /tmp/support_ticket.zip
After the support ticket zip file is created, FTP it to a system where it can be forwarded to HP support.
CLI output formats

Some CLI commands, when executed, return simple results, such as success, failure, or just a string. Other
CLI commands return more complicated output. By default, command results are output to the screen as
simple text. Table 8 lists the option tags that affect the CLI command output.
Table 8 CLI command output option tags
Tag
Description
-x <filename>
Generate the command results in XML format. If a filename is specified

with this argument, the command results are output in XML format to the
file and in report format to the screen. Multiple files may be specified for
this argument.
-o <filename>
Generate the command results in report format. If a filename is specified

with this argument, the commands results are output in report format to both
the screen and the file. Multiple files may be specified for this argument.
-oa <filename>
Generate the command results in report format and append it to the file
specified if it exists.
-e <filename>
Write any errors and traces to the specified file. If the file exists, the results
are appended.
-cc <filename>
Copy the command lines to this file. This file may then be used with the
-iargument. Run and help commands are not copied. Can be used to
create an input script.
-noprompt
Turns off the display prompt for file input. It is used with scripts that redirect
command input and output.
All commands except the exit command can have the -x <filename> argument. This argument
causes the command result to be written both to the specified file as well as displayed on the screen.
232
Service commands
XML format
The CLI provides an optional -x <filename> argument , that when specified, outputs the command
results in XML format to the specified file. The XML format is as follows:
<CLIXML>
<CLICMD>
<COMMAND NAME=command line entered>
results of command
</CLICMD>
</CLIXML>
If the command generated an error, the error message with be inside an <ERROR> tag.
Batch mode CLI

CLI commands are performed in interactive mode where a single command is typed at the command
line, and/or batch mode where multiple commands are read from an input file. CLI command results are
displayed on the screen and optionally to an output file.
When using the CLI in batch mode:
A command file is a text file containing CLI commands and comments. CLI commands are
usually entered one per line. However, if a \ character ends a line, the next line is concatenated
to the previous line and the \ is ignored. The CLI ignores empty lines in the text file as well as
leading and trailing spaces. Command line lengths are unlimited. Comment lines that begin
with # are ignored.
Command file only commands (Table 9) only have meaning in a command file. The CLI exit
commands done, exit, quit, logout, and bye may also be used in a command file to exit
from the file and terminate the CLI session. Command files are executed from the command
prompt using the run command.
By default, if an error is encountered, the error message is output to the screen, and the CLI exits
the command file and returns to interactive mode, unless the continueOnError command
is encountered.
Table 9 CLI batch mode commands
Command
Description
continueOnError
Continues the executing of the command file if a command error is

encountered
haltOnError

Specifications
Glossary
This glossary defines terms used in this guide or related to this product and is not a comprehensive
glossary of computer terms.
appliance
An intelligent device programmed to perform a single well-defined function.

Appliances differ from general-purpose computers in that their software is
normally customized for the function they perform, pre-loaded by a vendor,
and not alterable by the user.
automigration
Data intended for tape storage is written to virtual tape and after the backups are
complete written to physical tape in the background. One virtual tape emulates
one physical tape to the host system. Data is held on the virtual tape, which
greatly improves restore times over the slow loading process of a robotic library.
The VLS will be able to perform automigration in the future.
bandwidth
Also known as data transfer rate. The amount of data that can be carried from
one point to another in a given time period.
A real communications path usually consists of a succession of links, each with
its own bandwidth. If one of these is much slower than the rest, it is said to
be a bandwidth bottleneck.
cartridge
1) A removable storage module that contains magnetic or optical disks,

magnetic tape or memory chips.
(2) Software emulation of the behavior and contents of a physical tape cartridge
on alternate media, such as disk, is called a virtual tape or virtual media.
See also virtual tape.
chassis
A metal box that houses computer hardware.
command line
interface (CLI)
A user interface to an application that accepts typed-in commands one line at a

time typically through a console screen.
data backup
The activity of copying files or databases so that they will be preserved in case
of equipment failure or other catastrophe. The retrieval of files you backed up is
called restoring files.
See also data restore.
data compression
A software or hardware process that shrinks data files so that they occupy less
storage space, and can be transmitted faster and easier. Data is encoded so it
takes up less storage space and less bandwidth for transmission.
See also bandwidth.
data migration
The process of moving data from one storage device to another, such as
migrating data from virtual media to physical media.
data restore
To recover data files stored on virtual or physical media.
data retention
period
The length of time data is retained (stored) on virtual or physical media.
disk array
Two or more hard drives combined as a single logical unit for increased
capacity, speed, and/or fault-tolerant operation. Disk arrays are logically
grouped into a storage pool.
See also storage pool.
HP StorageWorks
241
disk mirroring
A technique in which data is written to two duplicate disks simultaneously.

Mirroring provides data protection in the case of disk failure, because data is
constantly updated to both disks. This way if one of the hard drives fails, the
system can instantly switch to the other disk without any loss of data or service.
See also RAID 1-level data storage and failover protection.
disk striping
The process of dividing a body of data into blocks and spreading the data
blocks across several partitions on several disks.
See also RAID.
disk-to-disk
backup
Typically refers to backing up data on disks rather than on tape. Disk-to-disk

backup systems provide a very fast single file restore capability compared with
disk-to-tape backup.
See also data restore and virtual tape.
disk-to-disk-to-tape Archiving in which data is initially copied to backup storage on a disk-based

backup
storage system, such as a VLS, and then periodically copied again to a tape
storage system.
See also data migration.
dynamic disk
filesystem
A finely-tuned filesystem developed to handle large block I/O typical of

a streaming backup/restore environment. This filesystem is optimized for
sequential access and very large file sizes.
echo copy
A software feature within automigration that automatically synchronizes the

physical cartridges to matching virtual cartridges (with the same barcodes)
based on user-defined policies, and is totally transparent to the backup
application. (Echo copy is similar to mirror copy.)
extent
The minimum amount of disk space allocated for writing by the VLS dynamic
disk filesystem. A smaller extent reduces wasted disk space, but decreases
restore performance. The VLS extent size is 32MB.
See also data restore.
failover protection
A backup operational mode in which the functions of a system component (such

as a hard drive or power supply) are assumed by secondary system components
when the primary component becomes unavailable through either failure or
scheduled down time.
Fibre Channel (FC)
A technology for transmitting data between computer devices at data rates

of up to 1 or 2 Gb/second. FC is especially suited for connecting computer
servers to shared storage devices.
file
A VLS file is a virtual cartridge.
Firesafe
The holding area for virtual media that is not assigned to a virtual library. Data
cannot be restored from virtual media located in the Firesafe until the media is
moved into a library.
hot plug
The ability to add and remove devices to an appliance while the appliance is
running and have the operating system automatically recognize the change.
infrastructure
The physical hardware used to interconnect computers. Infrastructure also

includes the software used to send, receive, and manage the signals that are
transmitted.
initiator
Media (host) server that runs the backup/restore application that passes
commands and data between the network and the VLS.
inputs/outputs per
second
A measure of performance for a host-attached storage device or RAID controller.
242
library
A storage device that handles multiple units of media and provides one or
more drives for reading and writing them, such as a physical tape library and
virtual tape library. Software emulation of a physical tape library is called
a virtual tape library.
See also virtual tape library.
logical unit
number (LUN)
An address used in the SCSI protocol to access a device within a target. In the
case of the VLS, a LUN is assigned to each virtual library and tape drive.
LUN mapping
A mechanism of changing the LUN assignments for a specific host.
LUN masking
An authorization process that makes a LUN available to some hosts and

unavailable to other hosts.
master server
A computer that provides administration and control for backup and restore
operations for all clients and servers in a master and media server cluster.
mean time until

data loss (MTDL)
The average time until a component failure can be expected to cause data loss.
This includes the consideration that RAID redundancy can protect against data
loss from the failure of a single component.
media access
control (MAC)
address
A low-level unique hardware identifier for every Ethernet port in the world that
is physically stored inside a network card or similar network interface. MAC
addresses are assigned by the IEEE.
media server
A computer whose purpose is to move or copy data from one location to

another, such as from network clients to tape cartridges in a library.
node
A server that contains the hardware and software required to run a virtual
library system. This refers to a hardware assembly containing a power supply,
cooling fans, motherboard, expansion boards, and internal hard drives to
support the VLS system.
oversubscription
A condition that exists when more virtual media storage is configured on a VLS
than there is physical storage available.
Because the VLS dynamically allocates storage space as user data is written,
the VLS allows you to allocate more storage for virtual media than is physically
available.
RAID
A RAID volume appears to the operating system to be a single logical disk.

RAID improves performance by disk striping, which involves partitioning
each drives storage space into units. By placing data on multiple disks, I/O
operations can overlap in a balanced way, improving performance.
RAID 1-level data

storage
Consists of at least two drives that uses mirroring (100% duplication of the
storage of data). There is no striping. Read performance is improved since
either disk can be read at the same time. Write performance is the same as
for single disk storage.
RAID 5-level data

storage
Provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction
information. RAID 5 configurations can tolerate one drive failure. Even with a
failed drive, the data in a RAID 5 volume can still be accessed normally.
RAID 6-level data

storage
Provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction
information. RAID 6 configurations can tolerate two drive failures. Even with
two failed drives, the data in a RAID 6 volume can still be accessed normally.
RAID 6 read performance is similar to RAID 5, since all drives can service read
operations, but the write performance is lower than that of RAID 5 because the
parity data must be updated on multiple drives.
redundancy
In a redundant system, if you lose part of the system, it can continue to operate.
For example, if you have two power supplies with one that takes over if the other
one dies, thats redundancy.

secure sockets
layer (SSL)
certificate
A protocol designed to enable applications to transmit information back and

forth securely. Applications that use this protocol inherently know how to give
and receive encryption keys with other applications, as well as how to encrypt
and decrypt data sent between the two.
Some applications that are configured to run SSL include web browsers like
Internet Explorer and Netscape, mail programs like GroupWise, Outlook, and
Outlook Express, FTP (file transfer protocol) programs, etc. These programs are
automatically able to receive SSL connections.
To send an SSL connection, however, or to open a secure connection, your
application must first have an encryption key assigned to it by a Certification
Authority. Once it has a unique key of its own, you can establish a secure
connection with every other application that can "speak" the SSL protocol.
serial ATA (SATA)

disk
The evolution of the ATA (IDE) interface that changes the physical architecture
from parallel to serial and from primary-secondary (master-slave) to
point-to-point. Unlike parallel ATA interfaces that connect two drives; one
configured as primary (master), the other as secondary (slave), each SATA
drive is connected to its own interface.
simple network
management
protocol (SNMP)
A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data is passed from
SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity
in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc.) to the workstation console
used to oversee the network. The agents return information contained in a MIB
(Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is
obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.).
small computer
systems interface
(SCSI)
A standard, intelligent parallel interface for attaching peripheral devices to

computers, based on a device independent protocol.
smart copy
A software feature within the automigration process that is under the control of
the backup application and managed via the VLS devices SMI-S interface.
This requires the backup application to support the HP smart copy interface.
(Smart copy is similar to snapshot.)
SMI-S
Allows control of the virtual tape library by a connected destination library for
the purpose of implementing automigration. SMI-S support allows applications
attached to the VLS to detect the virtual library configuration and to allow some
users to change the state of the VLS.
storage area
network (SAN)
A centrally managed network that allows any-to-any interconnection of servers

and storage systems.
storage pool
Multiple disk arrays logically grouped together from which the dynamic
disk filesystem allocates storage. The disk arrays in a VLS are automatically
configured into one storage array.
tape drive
(1) A device that reads data from and writes data onto tape.
(2) A software emulation of a tape drive is called a virtual tape drive.
virtual tape
Also known as a piece of virtual media or a VLS cartridge. A disk drive buffer
that emulates one physical tape to the host system and appears to the host
backup application as a physical tape. The same application used to back up
to tape is used, but the data is stored on disk.
Data can be written to and read from the virtual tape, and the virtual tape can
be migrated to physical tape.
virtual tape drive
An emulation of a physical transport in a virtual tape library that looks like a

physical tape transport to the host backup application. The data written to the
virtual tape drive is really being written to disk.
See also virtual tape library.
244
virtual tape library
A disk drive buffer containing virtual tape and virtual tape drives.
See also virtual tape drive.
world wide port

name (WWPN)
A unique 64-bit address used in a FC storage network to identify each device

in a FC network.
