ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream VT Installation and Operation Manual

1.0 ATTO FastStream VT Increases Reliability

ATTO FastStream™ Virtual Tape appliances are storage solutions that integrate with disk storage and emulate

a tape library for fast restores on demand and error-free backups of critical data.

The ATTO FastStream Virtual Tape appliance is seen

by system applications as a conventional tape library,

allowing you to use disk-based storage as if it were

tape.

The ATTO FastStream VT delivers immediate

performance improvements to backup, restore and

archive applications.

Adding a disk-based Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

ensures high speed access to your data. The

FastStream VT can be seamlessly integrated into

storage environments as if it were a traditional tape

library. The ATTO FastStream VT also provides high

performance RAID parity protection to disk-based

storage without regard to manufacturer, type of drive,

capacity or speed.

RAID improves data accessibility and reliability during

normal operations, however, you still need a good

backup strategy for long-term protection of your data.

The ATTO FastStream VT is available in 1U industry-

standard rack mount enclosure which is O/S and

platform independent supporting 64 bit OS.

The FastStream VT 5700 features four

independent

4-Gigabit Fibre Channel interfaces to integrate

direct attached storage into a high performance

SAN environment

Virtual Tape features

• Seen by ISV applications as a conventional tape

library.

• Configure one or two Virtual Tape libraries

• Configure up to 30 Virtual Tape drives and 256

Virtual tapes for each library.

• Hardware RAID Level 0, 1, 5, 1+0 and JBOD, all

user configurable

Backup and restore features

• Performs up to 30 concurrent backups for each

Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

• ATTO SpeedRead™ feature ensures

responsiveanderror-freebackupin theshortest

possible time

• Backup and restore data at up to 1.89 TB per

hour

• Uses reliable disk storage to take the place of

conventional tape to deliver immediate

performance improvements to backup and

restore applications

Management and control features

• The ATTO ExpressNAV™ VTL manager, a

browser-based graphical user interface (GUI),

simplifies configuration, management and

navigation

• Automatic rebuild of RAID groups and Rebuild

Priority keep the system operational if a drive

fails

• Global Hot Spares ensure continuous operation

if a drive fails. The Hot Spare automatically

comes on-line and rebuild starts if a disk failure

is detected

• ECC Protected Memory assures data integrity

and continued up time by implementing Error

Correcting Checksum (ECC) and Parity checks

on all data paths. Potential corruption cannot go

undetected

• Phone Home error notification automatically

generates an Email alert in the event of a failure

• Drive initialization and verification identifies

attached drives which exhibit poor performance

or soft failures

• Capable of measuring performance during

normal operation and during the drive

initialization process

Fibre Channel ports

The four independent 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel ports

use Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) interface and

multimode fiber optic cable. Make sure all cables are

anchored securely at both ends with the proper

connectors.

Ports 1 and 2 connect to the host. Ports 3 and 4

connect to devices. Refer to

Exhibit 1.1-1

Management ports

A 10/100 Ethernet standard RJ45 management port

provides monitoring and management.

The RS-232 serial port provides

support for remote monitoring and

management using a DB9

connector. The baud rate is

programmable and preset at the

factory to 115200 bps.

Reset/restore factory default switch

To resetthe FastStream,brieflyinsert a tool in the hole

in the back panel.

To restore factory defaults, insert the tool in the hole in

the back panel for more than four seconds until the

green Ready LED blinks.

LED indicators

TheLEDindicatorscanbeviewed from the backorthe

front side of the FastStream VT 5700.

LEDs on the connector side are:

A bicolor Ready/Fault LED

lights green to indicate

ready, lights yellow to indicate a faulted condition, and

is off to indicate not ready.

Embedded in the Ethernet port connector:

lighted green LED indicates a valid link. Off indicates

that no link is present. A separate blinking yellow LED

indicates activity.

Fibre Channel port:

A lighted green LED indicates

an active link. Off means there is no link. A separate

green LED indicates activity if it is illuminated but

indicates no activity if it is off.

GND

LEDs on the front are:

A green power LED

A bicolor Ready/Fault LED

is lighted green to

indicate ready, lighted yellow to a faulted condition,

and off indicates not ready.

Fibre Channel ports:

bicolor LED indicates FC

speed.If it is off,speed is1-Gb. Ifit isgreen itindicates

2-Gb. A yellow light indicates 4-Gb FC. A separate

green LED indicates activity if it is illuminated but

indicates no activity if it is off.

2.0 Install the FastStream VT

If you have not already completed the instructions on the Getting Started manual packed with your FastStream

VT, use the following instructions to install the FastStream VT.

Verifying the contents of the packing box

• The FastStream. Note the serial number of your

FastStream unit: ________________________

• Power cord

• “L” brackets for mounting in a 19” rack

• CD which includes the Firmware, Installation

and Operation Manual, QuickNAV IP discovery

program and system drivers

Installing the FastStream

1 Place the FastStream VT on a stable flat

surface or install it into a standard rack.

If installing into a rack (see Exhibit 2.0-1):

a. Attach “L” brackets so that the front side

with the LEDs face front and the connector

side is at the back.

b. Install the FastStream horizontally within

the rack so it does not reduce the air flow

within the rack.

2 Attach the appropriate cables.

a. Using SFPs and multimode fiber optic

cables, connect the FastStream Fibre

Channel ports 1 and 2 to your host

computer and ports 3 and 4 to your devices

(see Exhibit 1.1-1 on page 4).

b. Power up the devices.

3 Connect the Ethernet port to your network.

4 Connect the AC power cord from the

FastStream to the proper AC source outlet.

If you are using a rack:

a. Properly groundthe FastStream to the rack

equipment. The earth ground connection

must be maintained.

b. The power requirements plus the power

draw of the other equipment in the rack

must not overload the supply circuit and/or

wiring of the rack.

5 Use the power switch and switch on power to

the FastStream.

6 Wait for the FastStream Ready LED to light

indicating the FastStream has completed its

power-on self test sequence.

7 Windows

Discovering the IP address.

Installing Windows drivers

1 Windows automatically detectsthe FastStream

and ask for the driver in the Add Hardware

wizard. select Install from a list or specific

location.

2 Click Next.

3 Choose Don’t Search.

4 Click Next.

5 Choose Have disk.

6 The VT media changer and the VT tape have

separatedriverfiles. Repeat thefollowingsteps

for each driver.

a. Specify the driver as found in the

VTMediaChanger or VTTapeDrive folder

in the setup CD. The files are in a folder

based on your operating system: Win2K

driversforWindows2000andWindows XP

and Win2K3 drivers for all 2003 Server

products.

Note

Use the files directly from the CD or copy them

onto a floppy or to a local directory on your

hard drive.

b. Follow the remaining instructions to

complete the installation procedure.

7 After the driver for each device is installed, the

tape drive is listed under Tape Drives and the

VT media changer is listed under Media

Changer in the System Devices folder.

Discovering the IP address

Note

The FastStream VT is initially configured with

DHCP enabled. It is best if you have access to

a DHCP server.

1 Work from the computer attached to the

FastStream VT Ethernet port on the same

broadcast domain. From the CD supplied with

your FastStream, run the QuickNav Utility

QuickNAV-windows.exe for Windows or

QuickNAV-Mac for Mac OS X.

2 Locate the FastStream with the serial number

recorded earlier.
