1.1 About the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) Service

Manual

This document acts as a service reference guide for all SGI COPAN Virtual Tape Library (VTL)

products built on the 400M platform. This includes VTL-specific architecture, how to install VTL

hardware and software, how to configure the VTL system, how to replace various VTL-specific

field replaceable units (FRUs), as well as troubleshooting guidelines. This guide is intended for a

service engineer with experience servicing and repairing storage and communication equipment

and troubleshooting subsystems on the network.

1.1.1 400M Service Manual vs VTL Service Manual

The VTL Service Manual only covers how to service the VTL feature; it does not cover basic

400M service actions. For basic service procedures for the 400 series cabinet, refer to the 400M

Service Manual.

1.2 Other VTL Documentation

1.2.1 VTL System Administrator Guide

For information on configuring and using the VTL application software, see the 400T/TX

System Administrator Guide.

1.3.1 400M Service Manual

The 400M Service Manual acts as a guide for servicing the 400M cabinet, including system

architecture, how to set up and configure the system, how to replace various field replaceable

units (FRUs), as well as troubleshooting guidelines. This guide is intended for a service engineer

1.3.2 Online Help

Information can also be accessed from the VTL Console and the Service GUI. Select the Help

option from the Help menu or click the help icon in the Toolbar.

1.4 Enhanced MAID Technology

SGI COPAN leverages the technical advantages of MAID Technology to create intelligent storage

solutions at the enterprise level. We've taken the advantages of MAID – and enhanced them – to

create products that are truly unprecedented in the storage industry.

With SGI COPAN's application-driven, enhanced MAID platform, only a maximum of 25-50% of

the drives are powered on at any time. This platform was purpose built for the challenges of storing

long-term data, and the infrequent access requirements of archive data. As a result, the enhanced

MAID products have the following advantages:

•Overall cost efficiency, higher reliability, and superior performance

•Fast, online access to data

•Extended SATA disk drive life by more than 4 times

•Dramatically reduced power consumption and cooling requirements

•Enhanced data protection and data integrity

•Massive scalability and high density, resulting in much more efficient use of data center floor

space

traditional tape backup methodology with low-cost disk technology to create an optimized backup

and recovery solution.

SGI COPAN currently offers the following products and options for the COPAN 400T/TX VTL

series.

1.5.1 SGI COPAN 400T

The SGI COPAN 400T provides a robust backup/restore solution that gives you more reliable

backups and faster restores than automated tape libraries. Data is better protected than with tape,

and there is complete online access to all critical data.

1.5.2 SGI COPAN 400TX

The SGI COPAN 400TX provides the same functionality as the 400 with the increased

performance of dual Application Processors.
