HP StorageWorks DAT models

This guide describes how to install and operate the following HP StorageWorks DAT rack-

mount tape drive models:

•HPStorageWorksDAT72

•HPStorageWorksDAT40

Which operating systems are supported?

HP StorageWorks DAT drives can be connected to servers running under Windows®,

NetWare, UNIX, Tru64 and Linux. Refer to the “HP StorageWorks Tape Software

Compatibility” topic on our World Wide Web site (www.hp.com/go/connect) for more

information about the operating system versions that are supported.

Which rackmount systems can I use?

HP StorageWorks DAT removable tape drives are used in conjunction with the

HP Tape Array 5300 system, which can be used with both full-height and half-height tape

drives. It will hold up to four HP StorageWorks DAT tape drives. The tape array is designed to

be installed into HP, IBM and other compatible 19” rackmount systems. It must be properly

installed and configured. Refer to your tape array documentation for further details.

Airflow requirements

The HP Tape Array 5300 is designed to provide adequate airflow for up to four half-height or

up to two full-height tape drives. As long as the tape array is fully populated, it will provide

adequate airflow for your HP StorageWorks DAT tape drives. If you have unused bays in the

tape array, you must install the blanking plates provided with the tape array. This ensures that

there is adequate airflow to the drives. See the documentation with the tape array for details

on installing blanking plates.

You should ensure that ventilation is adequate at the front and rear of the tape array.

How do I connect the drive to my server?

The individual tape drives are connected to their host server via the high density LVD/SE SCSI

connectors on the back of the tape array. They do not require any SCSI cables to plug into the

tape array. However, suitably-rated cabling and terminators are required to connect the tape

array with the SCSI host. You will need a properly installed and configured SCSI host bus

The following guidelines apply:

• For optimum performance the drive should be the only device on the SCSI bus.

• If you daisy-chain devices, make sure that devices are of the same SCSI type and that

each device on the same SCSI bus has a unique SCSI ID and is terminated appropriately.

Do not daisy-chain more than two devices on the same SCSI bus (for example, two LVD

Wide Ultra drives).

• Always terminate the SCSI bus.

• Do not attach the drive to the same SCSI bus as a your disk drive or to a RAID controller.

dds-removable-frame6.fm Page 3 Monday, January 5, 2004 5:04 PM

adapter (HBA) or a built-in SCSI controller on your SCSI host with a spare low voltage

differential (LVD) SCSI port and LVDS-compatible cables and terminators. See “Checking the

SCSI connection” on page 9.

Why is the SCSI bus type important?

The SCSI bus type determines the speed at which data can be transferred between devices on

the bus and the maximum length of cable that can be used. The drives support a burst transfer

rate of 40 MB/sec. To benefit from this level of performance, it is important to ensure that the

drives are connected to a SCSI bus of a similar or higher specification. This means that you

need:

•An Ultra Wide, Ultra2 Wide, Ultra3 (160) or Ultra4 (320) SCSI bus. Ultra Wide SCSI

supports the maximum bus speed of 40 MB per second, Ultra2, Ultra3 and Ultra4 SCSI

exceeds this.

•LVD-rated SCSI cabling and terminators. The LVD interface enables the data to be

transferred at the drive's maximum rate and provides a maximum cable length of 12 meters.

If you attach the drive to a lower specification SCSI bus, it may still work but data will not be

transferred as quickly and you will need to use shorter cable lengths.

Note The drives are not compatible with high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices.

How can I check the SCSI bus type and SCSI ID?

For many operating systems, you can install HP Library & Tape Tools from www.hp.com/

support/tapetools and run the “Install Check” to check your server’s current SCSI

configuration (see page 29). This will provide information about the SCSI bus and the SCSI

IDs in use. See also the SCSI topic in the electronic User’s Guide on the

HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM for other ways of checking the SCSI bus type.

Do I need additional items for installation?

• You will need to order the correct size SCSI cables and terminators to suit the particular

configuration of your tape array. Cable and terminator options are listed at the HP tape

array support web site:www.hp.com/go/tapearray, and can be ordered from your

local HP sales office. Refer to your tape array’s Getting Started Guide for details of how to

install SCSI cables and terminators on the rear panel of the tape array. The latest version of

this document can also be downloaded from www.hp.com/go/tapearray.

• If you do not have a spare, suitably rated SCSI connector on your server, you must install a

new HBA (also known as a SCSI card). This should be of an Ultra Wide or higher SCSI

specification. We recommend that a 64-bit Ultra 3 (160) HBA is used. You will need to

purchase and install the new HBA into an unused, 64-bit PCI expansion slot within your

server before installing your tape drive. (The kit can also be installed in a 32-bit PCI

expansion slot, but performance may be degraded.)

Refer to our World Wide Web site for recommended products, configurations and ordering

information: www.hp.com/go/connect or www.hp.com/support.

Backup software and drivers

Backup software

For optimum performance it is important to use a backup application that is appropriate for

your system’s configuration. In a direct attach configuration, where the tape drive is attached

to a standalone server, you can use backup software that is designed for a single server

environment. In network configurations you will need backup software that supports enterprise

environments. HP, Veritas, Legato, Yosemite and Computer Associates all provide suitable

products. Further details about these and other products that may be appropriate can be

found on our connectivity web site.

1Go to our connectivity web site: www.hp.com/go/connect and select tape backup.

2Select software compatibility.

3Select your combination of operating system and tape drive model in the table. A list of

supported backup applications is displayed. This will also tell you whether your configuration

is compatible with HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, HP OBDR. (All HP StorageWorks DAT

tape drives support HP OBDR. However, you can only use this feature if your system

configuration and backup application also support it. See “Using HP OBDR” on page 27.)

4Make sure you have a backup application that supports HP StorageWorks DAT tape drives and

download any upgrades or patches, if required.

Drivers

Windows users

Before you install the tape drive, download the HP driver from our web site: www.hp.com/

support. Refer to the accompanying README file for specific installation instructions for

Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 drivers. This will tell

you whether you need to install the driver before or after installing the tape drive.

If you do not have internet access, you can also download drivers from the

HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM, but these may not be the latest versions available.

UNIX users

The recommended backup applications use the operating system’s standard, built-in device

drivers. To upgrade drivers we recommend that you patch to the latest version of the operating

system or configure device files, as described in the UNIX Configuration Guide on the CD-

ROM.

IA64 users

If you are installing on an IA64 system, such as an HP Integrity server, check www.hp.com/

go/connect for the latest information on the availability of backup application upgrades

and drivers.
