Abstract
The IBM 3584 TS3500 Tape Library is part of a family of tape library
storage solutions designed for the large, unattended storage requirements
from today's
midrange to high-end systems.
Model abstract 3584-L23

The IBM 3584 TS3500 Tape Library Model L23 is a base frame designed
for TS1120 or 3592 Tape Drives and 3592 data cartridges. The Model L23
base frame
has 58 to 260 cartridge slots and support for up to 12 tape
drives with an incremental reduction of storage slots for more than four
drives or with the additional I/O
station installed. This model has a
smaller footprint than the Model L32. The TS3500 Tape Library Model L23
is designed with an optimized gripper for use with
LTO or 3592 tape
cartridges. Up to 12 logical libraries (one per tape drive) can be
configured for each frame.
Each Model L23 library has a standard 16-slot cartridge I/O station
for importing or exporting 3592 tape cartridges from the library without
requiring a re-inventory.
An additional 16-slot cartridge I/O is
optionally available for either LTO or 3592 data cartridges. Libraries
containing a mixture of LTO and 3592 drive technologies
must have one LTO
I/O station and one 3592 I/O station. For bulk loading of tape
cartridges, the library door can be opened. Each time the library door
is closed, a
bar code reader mounted on the autochanger is designed to
scan the cartridge labels enabling a re-inventory of the cartridges in
the library frame in as little as 60
seconds. A door lock is included to
restrict physical access to cartridges in the library.

Description
These models of the IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library (machine
type 3584) are designed to provide enhanced tape drive technology and
support in
reduced footprint frames while helping to protect the
investment of existing IBM TotalStorage 3584 Tape Library installations.
The TS3500 Tape Library is designed to be a highly scalable, automated

tape library combining IBM automation technology for midrange to
enterprise open
systems environments. The new TS3500 Tape Library Model
L53 and D53 frames integrate the IBM System Storage TS1030 Linear
Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 3 4-
Gbps Fibre Channel Tape Drive, and the Model
L23 and D23 frames integrate the IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drive
with 4-Gbps dual-ported switched fabric
Fibre Channel attachment.
The TS3500 Tape Library frames include an enhanced power architecture

and frame control assembly, an optimized dual-gripper cartridge accessor,
portable drive
canister packaging, and 16-slot Input/Output (I/O)
stations. The TS3500 Tape Library Model D23 and D53 frames can be
attached to Model L23 or L53 frames, or
to installed 3584 Model L22, L32,
L52, D22, D32, or D52 frames, and can be intermixed within the same
TS3500 library.
You can tailor the library to match your system capacity, performance,
and application requirements using up to 192 drives in up to 16 TS3500
Tape Library frames.
It has an available physical storage capacity of up
to 9,390 TB (with 3:1 compression) using TS1120 Tape Drives, or up to
5,510 TB (with 2:1 compression) using
TS1030 Tape Drives.
The Advanced Library Management System (ALMS) is the next generation

of patented IBM Multi-Path Architecture. ALMS is designed to provide
enhanced
automation functionality such as dynamic partitioning, including
storage slot pooling and flexible drive assignment. COD level additions
can also be selected and
implemented through license key upgrades with
the TS3500 Tape Library Model L53 or L23 frames, helping provide growth
flexibility as required. The TS3500 Tape
Library continues to offer a
SAN-ready Multi-Path Architecture, and the ability to partition the
library into 192 logical libraries. Tivoli Storage Manager and other
industry-leading compatible software offerings can provide storage and
tape management for the TS3500 Tape Library.
These advancements in performance, capacity, function, and footprint

help reduce automation floor space requirements, enhance library
management, and provide
flexibility, growth, and a foundation for
automation across an enterprise or business installation.
The TS3500 Tape Library is part of the family of tape library storage
solutions designed for the large, unattended storage requirements from
today's midrange to
high-end systems. Each aspect of the subsystem is
designed to optimize access to data and reliability. The TS3500 Tape
Library includes an enhanced power
architecture and frame control
assembly. This enhanced frame control assembly has fewer parts and is
designed with hot-swappable redundant parts to help
improve reliability.
The enhanced frame control assembly comes standard on Models L23 and L53
and can be ordered as an optional feature on Models D23 and
D53.
The TS3500 Tape Library supports the IBM System Storage TS1030 LTO
Ultrium Tape Drive and IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drive. IBM LTO
Ultrium tape
drives are compact storage devices that are designed to
support the highly intensive read and write operations required by
today's open-system servers. The IBM
LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drive is the
third generation of LTO Ultrium tape drives in the IBM TotalStorage LTO
Ultrium family of products. The TS1120 Tape Drives are
designed to
provide high levels of performance, functionality, and cartridge capacity
supporting the 3592 tape format, including Write Once Read Many (WORM)
media support.
The TS3500 or 3584 Tape Library Models D32, D52, D53, L32, L52, and
L53 can be equipped with IBM TS1030 or LTO Ultrium Tape Drives, and
Models D22,
D23, L22, and L23 with the TS1120 or 3592 Tape Drives. The
TS3500 Tape Library Models D22, D23, D52, D53, L22, L23, L52, and L53
have a smaller footprint
than Model D32 or L32, so they take up less
floor space. The Ultrium 3 Tape Drives and data cartridges can be
resident in the same TS3500 Tape Library frame
with Ultrium 1 or 2 Tape
Drives and data cartridges, and adjacent frames can have TS1120 or 3592
Tape Drives and data cartridges. The TS3500 Tape Library
supports mixed
media in the same library by supporting the intermix of Models D22, D23,
D32, D52, and D53 within a TS3500 Tape Library. Input/Output (I/O)
stations are located on Model L22, L23, L32, L52, or L53 to facilitate
tape loading and unloading.
The TS3500 Tape Library is designed to provide an excellent network

data backup/archive solution. With the granularity and scalability to
follow your requirements
from a few servers to hundreds of clients, from
gigabytes to terabytes, this powerful pairing can grow with you, helping
to protect your investment.
TS3500 Tape Library means high performance
The IBM TS1030 LTO Ultrium Tape Drives and TS1120 Tape Drives are
designed for high performance in a streaming mode of operation.
Automatic data caching,
using an expanded cache memory and read/write
buffering, help enhance performance even further. The TS3500 Tape
Library is designed for high data transfer
performance.
Cartridge move time within the TS3500 Tape Library can be as short as
3.0 seconds or less in a single-frame library. The dual-gripper accessor
is designed to
retrieve the next cartridge to be mounted, unload the
current cartridge, and load the next cartridge, helping provide the
following potential benefits as compared to a
single gripper:
Save complete move operations

Improve overall library performance
Increase redundancy and reliability
TS3500 Tape Library defines high reliability
Leading-edge technology positions the TS1120 Tape Drives and TS1030

LTO Ultrium Tape Drives as among the industry leaders. Highly accurate
recording is
supported by an exclusive thin-film write module designed by
IBM with read-after-write data verification. Data read is managed by
IBM's Magneto Resistive (MR)
heads, designed for accuracy, high
reliability, and durability. The TS3500 drives and library robotics are
TapeAlert-compatible, and are designed to provide tape
drive and library
error and diagnostic reporting. Drive cleaning is an automatic function
that can be performed by the library when required by the drive, without
requiring operator intervention.
High granularity in library configurations
Features and capacities are designed to address a wide variety of

customer requirements. You can attach up to 15 Model D22, D23, D32, D52,
or D53 expansion
frames to a Model L22, L23, L32, L52, or L53 base frame
to tailor the library to match your system capacity and performance
needs. This provides a cartridge
capacity with Ultrium 3 data cartridges
of up to 6,887 cartridges from 26 TB to 2,755 TB of physical capacity (51
TB to 5,510 TB with 2:1 compression), or with 3592
data cartridges of up
to 6,260 cartridges from 29 TB to 3,130 TB of physical capacity (87 TB to
9,390 TB with 3:1 compression). Or, you can intermix cartridges and
drive types in different frames and have up to 192 tape drives in up to
16 total TS3500 library frames.

2:1
compression) using LTO-DC with Ultrium 3 data cartridges. Up to 12
logical libraries (one per tape drive) can be configured for each frame.
for importing or exporting LTO tape cartridges from the library without
must have one LTO
is closed, a
Model D23 (expansion frame)
The TS3500 Tape Library Model D23 expansion frame is designed for
TS1120 or 3592 Tape Drives and 3592 data cartridges. Up to 15 Model D23
expansion
frames may be added to the TS3500 Model L22, L23, L32, L52, or
L53 base frame to increase 3592 cartridge storage or drive capacity.
Each Model D23 supports
up to 400 3592 cartridge slots and up to 12 3592
Tape Drives, with an incremental reduction of storage slots for each set
of four tape drives installed. Each frame
can have up to 12 logical
libraries or 12 control paths (one per tape drive).
Model D53 (expansion frame)
The TS3500 Tape Library Model D53 expansion frame is designed for IBM
TS1030 LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives and LTO data cartridges. Up
to 15
Model D53 expansion frames may be added to the TS3500 Tape Library
Model L22, L23, L32, L52, or L53 base frame to increase LTO cartridge
storage or drive
capacity. Each Model D53 supports up to 440 LTO
cartridge slots and up to 12 IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drives, with an
incremental reduction of storage slots for
each set of four tape drives
installed. Each frame can have up to 12 logical libraries or 12 control
paths (one per tape drive).
Designed for availability
If you are looking to maximize availability with minimum downtime

for service-related activities, you will appreciate that the library
is designed to preserve tape drive
configuration settings, such as
Fibre Channel World Wide Node Names (WWNN), when a tape drive is
replaced. This helps to ensure that the replacement drive
has the
same WWNN as the original drive and may help avoid the need to re-IPL
or reconfigure host systems. Fibre Channel drives require only a
quiesce of the
individual drive. Redundant hot-swap library and drive
power supplies can also be replaced while avoiding impact to host
systems.
The Advanced Library Management System (ALMS) is a required feature

that is designed to avoid outages when adding capacity on demand (COD)
storage,
adding or removing logical libraries, or when changing
logical library storage allocation. The use of ALMS may also help
reduce outages when adding expansion
frames, adding or removing tape
drives, or changing logical drive allocation.
The TS3500 Tape Library includes an enhanced power architecture and

frame control assembly. This enhanced power architecture has fewer
parts and is designed
with hot-swappable 2N power supplies and line
cords. The enhanced frame control assembly includes features that
were previously ordered separately from the
3584 frame control
assembly including dual ac power, a Fibre Channel patch panel,
additional redundant power supplies, and additional 10/100 Ethernet
support.
Multi-Path support
The Multi-Path Architecture of the TS3500 Tape Library is designed to

provide the capability for sharing of the library robotics. This is
accomplished by partitioning
the library into up to 192 multiple logical
libraries (up to the number of drives installed), and providing each
logical library its own separate and distinct drive(s),
storage slots,
and control path(s). I/O slots are shared on a first-come-first-served
basis. 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 2003 application using
the drive and storage slots of one logical library, while a UNIX
application uses the drive and slots of another logical library.
Logical libraries can also be used for separating Ultrium 2 Tape

Drives and cartridges from Ultrium 3 Tape Drives and cartridges, or
TS1120 or 3592 Tape Drives
and cartridges, for applications which do not
support mixing the drives in the same logical library.
Advanced Library Management System (ALMS)
ALMS is the next generation of patented IBM Multi-Path Architecture.

ALMS provides a license key to enable dynamic management of cartridges,
cartridge storage
slots, tape drives, and logical libraries. Tape drives
can be assigned to any logical library using a Web user interface. It is
designed to allow logical libraries to be
added, deleted, or easily
changed non-disruptively, and storage capacity to be changed while
avoiding impact to host applications in many instances.
Path failover
You may use path failover to help enhance availability. This optional
feature is designed to provide automatic control path failover to a
preconfigured redundant
control path in the event of a loss of a host
adapter or control path drive, without aborting the current job in
progress. Support is provided under various operating
systems such as,
AIX, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Windows for Fibre Channel attachments
when the IBM device driver is used.
Data path failover and load balancing support native Fibre Channel
Ultrium Tape Drives and TS1120 or 3592 Tape Drives in the TS3500 Tape
Library using the IBM
device driver for AIX, Linux, Windows, and Solaris.
Data path failover is designed to provide a failover mechanism in the IBM
device driver, to enable configuration
of multiple redundant paths in a
SAN environment. In the event of a path or component failure, 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 allows 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 in the event of a failure in
the primary host-side
path. Data path failover and load balancing for Ultrium 3 Tape Drives
require the optional path failover feature.
Fibre Channel connectivity
Tape drives in the TS3500 Tape Library Models D22, D23, D52, D53, L22,
L23, L52, and L53 are designed to connect to host systems using Fibre
Channel
interfaces. An LTO Ultrium Tape Drive with a Fibre Channel
interface or 3592 Tape Drive can be selected for attachment to host
systems and servers utilizing Fibre
Channel adapters. Fibre Channel
connection distances up to 500 meters are possible. By utilizing
selected Fibre Channel switches distances exceeding 500
meters are
possible.
TS1030 Tape Drive Model F3B
The IBM System Storage TS1030 Tape Drive Model F3B provides
integration of IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drives in the TS3500 Tape Library
and offers
enhancements in performance, capacity, and reliability over
today's IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives. Continuing to build on the success
and acceptance of IBM LTO
Ultrium Tape technology, the TS1030 Tape Drive
incorporates the new Linear Tape-Open (LTO) IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drive,
which more than doubles maximum tape
drive throughput data rate
performance over the IBM LTO generation 2 Tape Drive (Ultrium 2), to up
to 80 MB/sec native data transfer rate (160 MB/sec with 2:1
compression).
In addition, with the use of the new IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB
Data Cartridge, the 3588 doubles the tape cartridge capacity to up to 400
GB native physical capacity (800 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM Ultrium 3
Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges and read LTO
Ultrium 1
Data Cartridges. The TS1030 Model F3B comes with a single port
4-Gbps native Fibre Channel interface, for connection to a wide spectrum
of open system
servers.
The Fibre Channel TS1030 Tape Drives and LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridges
are supported in newly purchased TS3500 Model L53 and D53 frames and
installed
3584 Model L52, L32, D52, and D32 frames with the same
capabilities as are provided for hot-swap Ultrium 3 drives today. The
TS1030 Tape Drive Model F3B has
a 4-Gpbs Fibre Channel interface
attachment. In addition, the Ultrium 3 Tape Drive is designed to
provide:
Ability to configure Ultrium 1, Ultrium 2, and Ultrium 3 tape drives

in the same frame and/or the same logical library
Ability to distinguish between Ultrium 1, Ultrium 2, and Ultrium 3
Tape Drives on all user interfaces (using inquiry data), on the front of
the drive, and at the
rear of the drive canister
Ability to maintain the Ultrium 3 drive serial number during a FRU
replacement in the same manner that the TS1120 or 3592 drive serial
number is
maintained
Dual-stage 16-channel head actuator - designed to provide precision
head alignment to help support higher track density and improved data
integrity and
backwards compatibility with previous LTO generations
Independent tape loader and threader motors and positive pin
retention - designed to help improve drive reliability
Graceful dynamic braking - designed to maintain tension to help
prevent stretching or breaking the tape and loose tape wraps
Larger internal buffer - the internal buffer size has been doubled
over Ultrium 2 to 128 MB
Highly integrated electronics using IBM engineered copper technology
- designed to provide a more reliable drive
IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge
The tape cartridge capacity of the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB
Data Cartridge has doubled over the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB
Data
Cartridge to 400 GB native physical capacity (800 GB with 2:1
compression). IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drives can read and write Ultrium 2
(200 GB) data cartridges and
read Ultrium 1 (100 GB) data cartridges.
Ultrium 1, Ultrium 2, and Ultrium 3 data cartridges can be resident in
the same 3584 Tape Library frame.
The 400 GB physical capacity is designed to help reduce solution costs

and improve space utilization. Up to 80 MB/sec native throughput on
Ultrium 3 tape drives
helps reduce backup windows and speed data
recovery. The proven durability of the cartridge helps reduce worry.
Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) can help enable
fast, simultaneous transfer of
cartridge-dependent data with IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drives during media load
and unload cycles.
The IBM LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge is a cost-effective media

offering that increases cartridge capacity over the IBM LTO Ultrium 200
GB Data Cartridge
and can help reduce the amount of equipment, space, and
human intervention required for daily tape operations. In addition,
reducing the number of cartridges
needed for backup and restore
operations can help lower operational costs throughout the enterprise.
The new blue-gray cartridge color helps distinguish it from
previous
generations of IBM LTO media.
WORM media support
The IBM TotalStorage 3589 Ultrium 400 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 LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drive to help prevent the alteration or deletion
of user data. IBM Ultrium 400
GB WORM Data 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 400 GB WORM native capacity in a
single cartridge
TS1120 Tape Drive
The TS1120 Model E05 Tape Drive has a native data rate of up to 100
MB/sec. With the use of the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Cartridge
3592, it provides a
native cartridge physical capacity of up to 500 GB
(1.5 TB with 3:1 compression). It uses an optimal dynamic compression
method called byte level compression
scheme swapping, which is designed
to achieve maximum data compression, and unlike other tape drive
compression methods, it is designed to prevent data
expansion. The
TS1120 Model E05 Tape Drive is designed for automation and uses a tape
cartridge with a form factor similar to the 3590 and 3480 tape
cartridges.
The TS1120 Tape Drives and cartridges are supported in the
TS3500 Tape Library Model L23 or D23 frames and in installed 3584 Tape
Library Model L22 or D22
frames.
The TS1120 Model E05 Tape Drive has dual-ported 4-Gbps native switched
fabric Fibre Channel interfaces. This offers attachment flexibility in
an open systems
environment. The drives can be directly attached to open
systems servers with Fibre Channel attachments. The TS1120 Model E05
uses SARS to assist in
isolating failures between media and hardware. It
is designed to use the cartridge performance history saved in the
cartridge and drive performance history kept in
the drive to determine
the more likely cause of failure. It is designed to cause the drive to
mark the media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware has
degraded.
The TS1120 Model E05 is designed to support capacity scaling of JA

tape cartridges to 100 GB. Capacity scaling is designed to allow the
utilized length of tape to
be logically shortened, helping improve data
access times in trade-off for reduced capacity. The tapes can
subsequently be scaled back to full capacity as needed.
Multiple scale
settings are supported on the Model E05 Tape Drive including a 100 GB,
20% scaled JA cartridge.
The TS1120 E05 Tape Drive allows an application to issue a command to

scale the IBM TotalStorage Tape Data Cartridge 3592 to 100 GB.
Cartridges pre-scaled
for 100 GB physical capacity are also available for
order with the 3599 Models E11, E21, 011, and 021. These pre-scaled
cartridges can be ordered (and labeled)
for a specific VOLSER range.
This allows capacity scaling to be exploited by an application that
permits media pools to be defined by VOLSER range. For
information on
which Independent Software Vendors (ISV) support capacity scaling by
command or with the pre-scaled cartridges, refer to the TS1120 or 3592
ISV
Web site that can be accessed at:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/tape
The TS1120 Model E05 incorporates tape enhancements introduced with

the 3592 Model J1A Tape Drive, which are designed to help improve
performance,
capacity, and availability, including:
N+1 power supplies: The TS1120 Model E05 incorporates n+1 power
supplies when it is installed in an automation frame. This is designed
to help increase
drive availability in the event of a power supply
failure.
Digital speed matching: The TS1120 Model E05 is designed to
dynamically perform digital speed matching to adjust the drive's native
data rate to the net
host data rate (after data compressibility has been
factored out). This is designed to help allow slower hosts to stream the
tape drive.
Channel calibration: The channel calibration feature is designed to
allow for customization of each read/write data channel for optimum
performance. The
customization can enable compensation for variations in
the recording channel transfer function, media characteristics, and
read/write head characteristics.
The TS1120 Model E05 is designed to
automatically perform recalibration in the field if it detects degraded
performance.
High resolution tape directory plus enhanced search speed: The
TS1120 Model E05 Tape Drive maintains a tape directory structure with a
high granularity of
information about the physical position of data
blocks on the media. This feature, plus the increased search speed,
allows the TS1120 Model E05 to have
improved nominal and average access
times for locate operations versus previous IBM tape drives.
Streaming Lossless Data Compression (SLDC) algorithm: SLDC is an
implementation of a Lempel-Ziv class 1 (LZ-1) data compression algorithm.
It is an
extension to Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) and is
designed to offer an improvement over previous IBM lossless compression
algorithms.
In addition, the TS1120 Model E05 offers the following enhancements

over the 3592 Model J1A Tape Drive:
Dual-stage 16-head actuator designed to provide precision head

alignment to help support higher track density and improved data
integrity.
Improvement in physical load/ready time of over 20% versus 3592 Model
J1A.
Large internal data buffer: The TS1120 Model E05 Tape Drive has a
512 MB internal data buffer versus a 128 MB maximum in the 3592 Model J1A
and a 16
MB maximum in the 3590 Tape Drive. Along with enabling higher
performance characteristics, the data buffer is designed to use support
read ahead of
approximately 500 MB of compressed data from tape and
provide high performance random skip forward sequential (short hop)
locates common in
database search and tape software recycle operations.
Improved error correction capabilities (ECC): The correction power
of the ECC code has been increased over the previous design offered with
the 3592
Model J1A format, which is designed to offer increased data
reliability.
Offboard data string searching: The TS1120 Model E05 Tape Drive can
search the data content of host records for string matches offboard from
the host
server. The tape drive is designed to perform this search at up
to maximum data rate (100 MB/sec native) while it would take much longer
for a host server
to read the data, buffer the data to disk, and then
parse the actual data stream with host software routines.
Enhanced logic to report Logical End-of-Tape (LEOT): LEOT is now
reported based on a combination of capacity-based and position-based LEOT
indicators.
The TS1120 Model E05 is designed to monitor the total
accumulated number of physical tape datasets written to the volume and
report LEOT based on this
capacity-based LEOT value. This is designed to
allow tape copies to complete without overflow a much higher percentage
of the time.
Native search speed increased to up to 10 MB per second.
Note: Refer to the TS1120 Model E05 Sales Manual for more information.
3592 Tape Cartridge
The TS1120 Model E05 uses the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape
Cartridge 3592, which contains an advanced metal particle tape
specifically optimized for the
enterprise tape environment, providing a
native cartridge physical capacity of up to 500 GB (or up to 1.5 TB with
3:1 compression). This can be very beneficial in
space savings and
economy of data storage since it can help lower the cost of storage per
megabyte. For applications that fill current data cartridges, this can
help
reduce the number of tape cartridges required. The reduced number
of cartridges may also help free up floor space for other requirements.
The robust 3590-style cartridge shell is designed to sustain a

one-meter drop. The cartridge has a similar form factor as the 3590 and
3490 tape cartridges. It
contains cartridge memory that is a passive,
contactless silicon storage device. It is used to hold information about
the specific cartridge, including the VOLSER,
the media in the cartridge,
and the drive.
Economy cartridges with a native cartridge physical capacity of up to

100 GB (or up to 300 GB with 3:1 compression) are available. In
addition, WORM cartridges in
both sizes are available. The TS3500 Tape
Library supports the use of Ultrium 1, Ultrium 2, Ultrium 3, and 3592
data cartridges within the same library.
TS1120 Tape Controller
The IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Controller Model C06 is

designed to provide better performance and improved reliability for S/390
and IBM System z
customers. The TS1120 Tape Controller, 3592 Model C06,
has up to four 4-Gbps FICON attachments, twice the FICON bandwidth
connectivity that the IBM
TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Controller 3592
Model J70 offers. The TS1120 Tape Controller also has up to eight ESCON
attachments, or an intermix of ESCON
and FICON attachments. Up to 16 of
the TS1120 or IBM 3592 Tape Drives can be attached to a single TS1120
Tape Controller.
The TS1120 Tape Controller can be installed in an IBM 3953 Tape Frame
Model F05, in an IBM 3952 Tape Frame Model F05, or in a stand-alone rack,
supporting
TS1120 or 3592 Tape Drives installed in 3494 frames, 3584
frames, 3592 Model C20 frames, and stand-alone racks. To control TS1120
or 3592 Tape Drives in a
TS3500 Tape Library, the TS1120 Tape Controller
must be installed in a 3953 Model F05 frame, which is external to the
TS3500 Tape Library and may be installed
away from the TS3500 Tape
Library frames. For additional information on the 3953 Tape Frame Model
F05, refer to Hardware Announcement 105-176, dated May
10, 2005.

(#1682) Path Failover
This optional feature provides automatic control path and data path
failover for tape drives in the library. The control path failover is
designed to provide automatic
control path failover to a pre-configured
redundant control path in the event of a loss of a host adapter or
control path drive, without aborting the current job in
progress. The
data path failover is designed to provide a failover mechanism for
configuring multiple redundant paths in a SAN environment. In the event
of a path
or component failure, 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 can provide flexibility in SAN configuration,
availability, and management.
