TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries

Ultrium 6 Tape Drive

The IBM LTO Ultrium 6 tape drive is the sixth-generation LTO Ultrium tape drive in the IBM LTO Ultrium family of products. The Ultrium 6 tape drive in the TS3100 and TS3200 offers the following significant improvements over the Ultrium 5 tape drive:

• Increased performance: LTO Generation 6 specification native data transfer rate is up to 160 MB/sec and data tracks are written 16 at a time. IBM Ultrium 6 tape drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 5 or 6 data cartridges, and can read LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridges. Note: Although the Ultrium 6 tape drive provides the capability for excellent tape performance, other components of the system may limit the actual performance achieved. Also, the compression technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data that can be stored on the media, but the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.
• Increased tape cartridge capacity: LTO Generation 6 media specification tape cartridge physical capacity is up to 6.25 TB compressed physical capacity, more than doubling that of the Ultrium 5 data cartridges. This is achieved by increasing the linear density and the media length. The tape itself is a Barium Ferrite tape developed to help provide durability and increased capacity.
• Ultrium 5 cartridge compatibility: The Ultrium 6 tape drive can read and write Ultrium 5 cartridges.
• Encryption supported on Ultrium 6, 5, and 4 Fibre Channel and SAS tape drives: The IBM System Storage TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries support data encryption on the base drive with LTO-6, 5, and 4 media meeting LTO Generation 6 media specifications and Application Managed encryption. System Managed and Library Managed Encryption are supported with the Transparent LTO Encryption feature number 5900. IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager v1 is required with this feature.
• Attachment options: The TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries come with 6 Gbps SAS or 8 Gbps Fibre Channel LTO-6 tape drive attachment for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers. They are supported on IBM Power Systems, System p, System i, System x, System z, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and other open systems.
• WORM media support: With LTO Generation 6 media specification of up to 6.25 TB with 2.5 to 1 compression, IBM 3589 LTO-6 WORM tape cartridges are designed for archiving and data retention applications, as well as those applications requiring an audit trail. These cartridges work with the IBM LTO Ultrium 6 tape drive to help prevent the alteration or deletion of user data. IBM LTO-6 WORM tape cartridges can be ordered as unique 3589 models with the following features:
  • Prelabeling with the ability to specify a starting volume serial and color-coding
  • Packaging in individual jewel cases or in bulk

  Cartridge memory is built into every cartridge to enhance functionality and media reliability by storing access history and media performance information for use by the tape drive every time the cartridge is accessed Half-inch Barium Ferrite tape with up to 6.25 TB WORM compressed capacity in a single cartridge.

• Larger internal data buffer: There is a 1 GB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 6 full-high tape drive and a 512 MB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 6 half-high tape drive.
• Digital speed matching: Speed matching on Ultrium 6 ranges from 40 to up to 160 MB/sec versus 40 to up to 140 MB/sec on Ultrium 5.
• Giant Magneto Resistive (GMR) head design: Use of flat lap head technology in GMR heads from the Enterprise tape drives for Ultrium 6 helps minimize contact, edge damage, debris accumulation, and wear on the tape as it moves over the read/write heads.
• Dual-stage 16-channel head skew actuator: The actuator is designed to provide precision head alignment to help support higher track density and improved data integrity. The track following skew actuator supports flangeless tape guide rollers and dynamic skew to enable the head to follow skew tape motion and improve linear actuation.
• Power management: The Ultrium 6 tape drive power management function is designed to control the drive electronics to be either completely turned off or in a low-power mode when the circuit functions are not needed for drive operation. Improvements specifically in idle mode are improved over Ultrium 5.

Proven IBM LTO Ultrium features in the IBM LTO Ultrium 6 tape drive include:

• Servo and track layout technology: There are 2,176 data tracks in Ultrium 6 versus 1,280 data tracks in Ultrium 5. The high-bandwidth servo system features a low-mass servo to help more effectively track servo bands and improve data throughput with damaged media in less-than-optimal shock and vibration environments.
• Surface Control Guiding Mechanism: The patented Surface Control Guiding Mechanism from IBM is designed to guide the tape along the tape path in the Ultrium 6 and 5 tape drive. This method is designed to use the surface of the tape, rather than the edges, to control tape motion to reduce tape damage (especially to the edges of the tape) and tape debris, which comes from the damaged edges and accumulation in the head area. Robust drive components optimized for automation environments: With the most robust components available, such as all-metal clutch, steel ball bearings in loader, robust leader block design, and single circuit card, the drives offer enhanced reliability and prolonged life.
• Separate writing of multiple filemarks: Separate writing of multiple filemarks is designed to evoke any write command of two or more filemarks to cause a separate data set to be written containing all filemarks after the first. This helps improve performance if a subsequent append overwrites somewhere after the first filemark, and helps prevent having to rewrite data sets containing customer data and the first filemark if such an append occurs.
• LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC): The Ultrium 6 uses LTO-DC, which is an implementation of a Lempel-Ziv class 1 (LZ-1) data compression algorithm. LTO-DC is an extension of Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) and an improvement over previous IBM lossless compression algorithms. Patented "Scheme-Swapping" compression from IBM is designed to look ahead at incoming data and determine the most efficient storage method (either ALDC or pass-through mode) to help optimize data compression and increase data throughput. The compressed ratio is up to 2.5 to 1 for LTO Ultrium 6.
• LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM): Contained within the LTO Ultrium data cartridge is the LTO-CM, which is a passive, contactless silicon storage device that is physically a part of the cartridge. The LTO-CM is designed to hold information about that specific cartridge, the media in the cartridge, and the data on the media. The storage capacity of the Generation 6 LTO-CM is 16,320 byes, double the capacity of Generation 5 and 4 LTO-CM of 8,160 bytes. Communication between the drive and the LTO-CM is via a low-level RF field transmitted by the drive to the cartridge.
• Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS): The Ultrium 6 tape drive uses SARS to help isolate failures between media and hardware. SARS uses the cartridge performance history saved in the CM module and the drive performance history kept in the drive flash EEPROM to help determine the likely cause of failure. SARS is designed to cause the drive to request a cleaner tape, to mark the media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware has degraded.
• Highly integrated electronics using IBM-engineered copper technology: This technology is designed to reduce the total number of components in the drive, help lower chip temperatures, and reduce power requirements, resulting in a more reliable drive. The fourth-generation drive electronics are designed to provide error correction of soft errors in the memory arrays in data and control paths.

Ultrium 6.25 TB compressed data cartridge

The LTO Generation 6 media specification tape cartridge physical compressed capacity of up to 6.25 TB (with 2.5 to 1 compression) more than doubles the IBM Ultrium 5 data cartridge compressed capacity of up to 3.0 TB with 2:1 compression. IBM LTO Ultrium 6 tape drives can read and write Ultrium 5 or 6 data cartridges, and read Ultrium 4 data cartridges. LTO data cartridges can be ordered using machine type 3589, LTO Ultrium tape cartridges, or as a feature number at the time of purchase.

These cartridges have been designed to provide several enhancements over previous tape technologies. They are designed to work with tape drives that have increased tape speeds and high-density data recording. The case is specially designed for use in automated libraries and is designed for repeated, unattended handling. The tape itself is a Barium Ferrite tape developed for durability and capacity.

Path failover option

With the introduction of IBM LTO Ultrium 6 tape drive support, the TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries will support Control Path Failover and Data Path Failover for all generations of IBM LTO Ultrium half-high tape drives.

Multi-Path support

The Multi-Path feature of the libraries supports sharing of the library robotics. The library can be partitioned into up to four logical libraries, and can provide each logical library its own separate and distinct drives, storage slots, and control paths. You can partition the library into as many logical libraries as there are drives in the library. Each logical library must contain at least one drive. Note: This type of partitioning is designed to allow heterogeneous applications to share the library robotics independent of each other. Cartridges under library control are not shared between logical libraries, nor allowed to be moved between logical libraries. An example of heterogeneous sharing is a Microsoft Windows application using the drive and storage slots of one logical library while a UNIX application uses the drive and slots of another logical library.

The TS3200 Tape Library is an external stand-alone or rack-mountable unit that can contain up to two Ultrium Full-High Tape Drives Tape Drives or up to four IBM LTO Ultrium Half-High Tape Drives. The TS3200 is designed for the heavy demands of backup tape storage.

TS3200 with Ultrium 5 Tape Drive

The TS3200 capacity is 48 tape cartridges. It is supported or will be supported for Fibre channel and SAS attachment for System p, System i, System z, System x, HP-UX, Sun, UNIX, Linux, and Windows servers with LTO Ultrium 5 Tape Drives.

Labeled Ultrium media can be ordered as a feature at the time of purchase, or via the 3589 LTO Ultrium media machine type, or through IBM Media at 888-IBM-MEDIA (426-6334). Refer to the Supplies section for additional information.
• I/O Station: Standard on the TS3200, a single-cartridge I/O station on the left cartridge magazine, is designed to allow for continuous library operation during import or export of data cartridges.
• Removable Cartridge Magazines: The TS3200 has four removable magazines that house 48 data cartridges. This helps allow for quick population of the tape library, as well as ease of storage for media. You may order additional magazines as an option.
• Customer Replacement Units (CRUs): Drives, power supply, cartridge magazines are customer replacement parts.

Ultrium 5 Tape Drive

The IBM LTO Ultrium 5 Tape Drive is the fifth-generation LTO Ultrium Tape Drive in the IBM LTO Ultrium family of products. The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive offers the following significant improvements over existing 4U Tape Libraries:

• Increased Performance: Maximum tape drive throughput native data rate performance is up to 140 MB/sec. Data tracks are written 16 at a time. IBM Ultrium 5 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 4 Data Cartridges at Ultrium 4 capacities and rates, and read LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges at Ultrium 3 capacities with improved rates.

  Note: Although the Ultrium 5 Tape Drive provides the capability for excellent tape performance, other components of the system may limit the actual performance achieved. Also, although the compression technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data that can be stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.

• Increased Tape Cartridge Capacity: The tape cartridge physical capacity is up to 1.5 TB native physical capacity (3.0 TB with 2:1 compression), with the use of the new IBM LTO Ultrium 5 1.5 TB Data Cartridge, nearly double that of the Ultrium 4 Data Cartridge. This is achieved by increasing the linear density and the media length. The tape itself is an advanced metal particle tape developed to help provide durability and capacity.
• Ultrium 4 Cartridge Compatibility: The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive can read and write Ultrium 4 cartridges.
• Encryption Supported on Ultrium 5 and 4 Fibre Channel and SAS Tape Drives: The IBM System Storage TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries support data encryption on the base drive with Ultrium 5 and 4 media meeting LTO consortium specifications and Application Managed encryption. System Managed and Library Managed Encryption are supported with the Transparent LTO Encryption feature (Feature #5900). IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager v1 (TKLM) is required for encryption key management with LTO Ultrium 5 drives.
• Attachment options: The TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries come with 6 Gbps SAS or 8 Gbps Fibre Channel LTO5 tape drive attachment for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers. They are supported on selected IBM System Servers, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and other open systems.
• WORM Media Support: The IBM 3589 Ultrium 5 1.5 TB WORM Tape Cartridges are designed for archiving and data retention applications as well as those applications requiring an audit trail. These cartridges work with the IBM LTO Ultrium 5 Tape Drive to help prevent the alteration or deletion of user data. IBM Ultrium 5 1.5 TB WORM Tape Cartridges can be ordered as unique 3589 models with the following features:
  • Pre-labeling, with the ability to specify a starting volume serial and color-coding
  • Packaging in individual jewel cases or in bulk
  • Cartridge memory, built into every cartridge, which helps to enhance functionality and media reliability by storing access history and media performance information for use by the tape drive every time the cartridge is accessed
  • Half-inch particle tape with a 800 GB WORM native capacity in a single cartridge
• Larger Internal Data Buffer: There is a 512 MB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 5 Full-High Tape Drive or 256 MB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 5 Half-High Tape Drive
• Digital Speed Matching: The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive is designed to perform dynamic speed matching at one of 14 speeds to adjust the drive's native data rate as closely as possible to the net host data rate (after data compressibility has been factored out). This helps reduce the number of backhitch repositions and improve throughput performance. Speed matching on Ultrium 5 ranges from 40 to 140 MB/sec versus 30 to 120 MB/sec on Ultrium 4
• Giant Magneto Resistive (GMR) Head Design: LTO 5 introduces the Giant Magneto Resistive (GMR) head with beveled contouring for reducing stiction/friction, especially with smoother LTO 5 media type. This head design is well proven in Enterprise Tape products and helps minimize contact, edge damage, debris accumulation, and wear on the tape as it moves over the read/write heads.
• Dual-Stage 16-Channel Head Skew Actuator: The actuator for the LTO 5 Full-High drive is designed to provide precision head alignment to help skew to enable the head to follow skew tape motion and improve linear actuation.
• Power Management: The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive power management function is designed to control the drive electronics to be either completely turned off or in a low-power mode when the circuit functions are not needed for drive operation. Improvements specifically in idle mode are improved over Ultrium 4.

Proven IBM LTO Ultrium features in the IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive include:

• Servo and Track Layout Technology: There are 1280 data tracks in Ultrium 5 versus 896 data tracks in Ultrium 4. The high-bandwidth servo system features a low-mass servo to help more effectively track servo bands and improve data throughput with damaged media in less-than-optimal shock and vibration environments.
• Surface Control Guiding Mechanism: IBM's patented Surface Control Guiding Mechanism is designed to guide the tape along the tape path in the Ultrium 5 and 4 Tape Drive.

IBM Ultrium 4 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges at Ultrium 3 capacities and rates, and read LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges at Ultrium 2 capacities with improved rates.

  Note: Although the Ultrium 4 Tape Drive provides the capability for excellent tape performance, other components of the system may limit the actual performance achieved. Also, although the compression technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data that can be stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.

• Increased tape cartridge capacity: The tape cartridge physical capacity is up to 800 GB native physical capacity (1,600 GB with 2:1 compression), with the use of the IBM LTO Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge, double that of the Ultrium 3 Data Cartridge. This is achieved by increasing the linear density and the media length. The tape itself is an advanced metal particle tape developed to help provide durability and capacity.
• Ultrium 3 cartridge compatibility: The Ultrium 4 Tape Drive can read and write Ultrium 3 cartridges.
• Encryption supported on Ultrium 4 Fibre Channel and SAS tape drives: The IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library supports data encryption on the base drive with Ultrium 4 media meeting LTO consortium specifications and Application Managed encryption. System Managed and Library Managed Encryption are supported with the Transparent LTO Encryption feature (#5900).
• Attachment options: The TS3200 Tape Library is supported for LVD SCSI, Fibre Channel, or SAS attachment for System p, System i, System x, HP-UX, Sun, UNIX, Linux, and Windows servers.
• WORM media support: The IBM 3589 Ultrium 4 800 GB WORM Tape Cartridges are designed for applications such as archiving and data retention as well as those applications requiring an audit trail. These cartridges work with the IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive to help prevent the alteration or deletion of user data. IBM Ultrium 800 GB WORM Tape Cartridges can be ordered as unique 3589 models with the following features:
  • Pre-labeling, with the ability to specify a starting volume serial and color-coding
  • Packaging in individual jewel cases or in bulk
  • Cartridge memory, built into every cartridge, which helps to enhance functionality and media reliability by storing access history and media performance information for use by the tape drive every time the cartridge is accessed
  • Half-inch particle tape with a 800 GB WORM native capacity in a single cartridge
• Larger internal data buffer: There is a 256 MB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 4 Tape Drive as compared to a 128 MB internal data buffer in the Ultrium 3 Tape Drive.
• Integrated electronics using IBM engineered copper technology: This technology is designed to reduce the total number of components in the drive, help lower chip temperatures, and reduce power requirements, helping to provide for a more reliable drive. The fourth-generation drive electronics are designed to provide error correction of soft errors in the memory arrays in data and control paths.

Proven IBM LTO Ultrium features in the IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive include:

• Dual-stage 16-channel head actuator: The actuator is designed to provide precision head alignment to help support higher track density and improved data integrity.
• Independent tape loader and threader motors and positive pin retention: These are designed to help improve the reliability of loading and unloading a cartridge, and to retain the pin even if tension is dropped. An independent loader motor, coupled with the positive pin retention, is designed to cause the tape to thread with a higher level of reliability.
• Servo and track layout technology: There are 896 data tracks in Ultrium 4, 704 in Ultrium 3, and 512 in Ultrium 2. The high-bandwidth servo system features a low-mass servo to help more effectively track servo bands and improve data throughput with damaged media in less-than-optimal shock and vibration environments.
• Surface Control Guiding Mechanism: IBM's patented Surface Control Guiding Mechanism is designed to guide the tape along the tape path in the Ultrium 4 Tape Drive. This method uses the surface of the tape, rather than the edges, to control tape motion. This helps reduce damage (especially to the edges of the tape) and tape debris, which comes from the damaged edges and can accumulate in the head area.
• Magneto Resistive (MR) head design: Use of flat lap head technology in MR heads for Ultrium 4 helps minimize contact, debris accumulation, and wear on the tape as it moves over the read/write heads.
• Digital speed matching The Ultrium 4 Tape Drive is designed to perform dynamic speed matching (at one of six speeds: 30, 48, 66, 84, 103, or 120 MB/sec) to adjust the drive's native data rate as closely as possible to the net host data rate (after data compressibility has been factored out). This helps reduce the number of backhitch repositions and improve throughput performance. Speed matching on Ultrium 4 ranges from 30 to 120 MB/sec versus 30 to 80 MB/sec on Ultrium 3.
• Robust drive components optimized for automation environments: The drive uses some of the most robust components available, such as steel ball bearings in loader, robust leader block design, and single circuit card, to help enhance reliability and prolong the life of the drives.
• Power management: The Ultrium 4 Tape Drive power management function is designed to control the drive electronics to be either completely turned off or in a low-power mode when the circuit functions are not needed for drive operation.
• Adaptive read equalization: Designed to automatically compensate for dynamic changes in readback signal response.
• Dynamic amplitude asymmetry compensation: This is designed to optimize readback signals for linear readback response from MR read head transducers
• Separate writing of multiple filemarks: Separate writing of multiple filemarks is designed to cause any write command of two or more filemarks to cause a separate data set to be written containing all filemarks after the first. It helps improve performance if a subsequent append overwrites somewhere after the first filemark. This change helps prevent having to rewrite datasets containing customer data and the first filemark if such an append occurs.
• LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC): The Ultrium 4 uses LTO-DC, which is an implementation of a Lempel-Ziv class 1 (LZ-1) data compression algorithm. LTO-DC is an extension of Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) and an improvement over previous IBM lossless compression algorithms. IBM's patented "Scheme-Swapping" compression is designed to look ahead at incoming data, and determine the most efficient storage method (either ALDC or pass-through mode) to help optimize data compression and increase data throughput.
• LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM): Contained within the LTO Ultrium data cartridge is the LTO-CM, which is a passive, contactless silicon storage device that is physically a part of the cartridge. The LTO-CM is designed to hold information about that specific cartridge, the media in the cartridge, and the data on the media. The storage capacity of the LTO-CM is 8 KB. Communication between the drive and the LTO-CM is via a low-level RF field transmitted by the drive to the cartridge.
• Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS): The Ultrium 4 Tape Drive uses SARS to help isolate failures between media and hardware. SARS uses the cartridge performance history saved in the CM module and the drive performance history kept in the drive flash EEPROM to help determine the likely cause of failure. SARS is designed to cause the drive to request a cleaner tape, to mark the media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware has degraded.

In addition to LTO Ultrium 4 drive features, the TS3200 are designed to provide:

• Support for Ultrium 4 media as well as Ultrium 4 WORM media
• Support for Ultrium 4 SAS and Fibre Channel encryption management methods: Application Managed, System Managed, and Library Managed
• IBM's Multi-Path Architecture for single or multiserver attachment of homogeneous or heterogeneous systems or applications on the TS3200
• Optional path failover function for both control paths and data paths for full-high LTO tape drives
• Standard bar code reader and remote management unit
• Stand-alone free-standing library or optional rack mounting in an industry-standard 19-inch rack

The TS3200 Tape Library is suitable for use in network-attached storage implementations, such as backups and mass storage archives where multiterabyte capacities are required. Storage and tape management is provided by software such as Tivoli Storage Manager and other compatible software offerings.

The TS3200 is designed for stand-alone operations, but an optional rack-mounting kit allows installation into an ANSI/EIA standard 19-inch rack. If you require extra redundancy in your storage operations, an additional dc power supply option is available.

Ultrium 4 800 GB Data Cartridge

The tape cartridge physical capacity of the IBM Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge has doubled over the IBM Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge to 800 GB native physical capacity (1,600 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drives can read and write Ultrium 3 data cartridges, and read only Ultrium 2 data cartridges. LTO Ultrium 4 800 GB data cartridges can be ordered using machine type 3589, LTO Ultrium tape cartridges or feature #8405 at the time of purchase.

These cartridges have been designed to provide several enhancements over previous tape technologies. They are designed to work with tape drives that have increased tape speeds and high-density data recording. The case is specially designed for use in automated libraries and is designed for repeated, unattended handling. The tape itself in an advanced metal particle tape developed for durability and capacity. With support for IBM LTO Ultrium-format tape data cartridges, the TS3200 Tape Library provides an excellent migration path from digital linear tape (DLT or SDLT), 1/4-inch, 4mm, or 8mm Tape Drives. The library can be a cost-effective solution for backup, save-and-restore, and archiving functions as the entry point for the family of IBM Ultrium tape products.

Path failover option

The TS3200 Tape Library may use path failover to help enhance availability on LTO full-high tape drives. This optional feature is designed to provide automatic control path failover to a preconfigured redundant control path in the event that a host adapter or control path drive is lost without aborting the current job in progress. Support is provided under various operating systems such as System p, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Windows for Fibre Channel and SAS attachments when the IBM tape device driver is used. Path Failover not supported by IBM System i or IBM i.

Data path failover and load balancing supports native Fibre Channel and SAS Ultrium Tape Drives in the Tape Library using the IBM tape device driver for System p, Linux, Sun Solaris, and Windows. Data path failover is designed to provide a failover mechanism in the IBM device driver, which is designed to enable you to configure multiple redundant paths in a SAN environment. If a path or component fails, the failover mechanism is designed to automatically provide error recovery to retry the current operation using an alternate, preconfigured path without aborting the current job in progress. This helps allow you flexibility in SAN configuration, availability, and management.

When accessing a tape drive device that has been configured with alternate pathing across multiple host ports, the IBM device driver is designed to automatically select a path through the host bus adapter (HBA) that has the fewest open tape devices, and assign that path to the application. This autonomic self-optimizing capability is called load balancing.

The dynamic load balancing support is designed to optimize resources for devices that have physical connections to multiple HBAs in the same machine. The device driver is designed to dynamically track the usage on each HBA as applications open and close devices, and balance the number of applications using each HBA in the machine. This may help optimize HBA resources and improve overall performance. Further, data path failover is designed to provide autonomic self-healing capabilities similar to control path failover, and is designed to failover to an alternate data path if a failure in the primary host-side path occurs. Data path failover and load balancing for Ultrium Tape Drives require the optional path failover feature.
