Scalar i6000 Planning Guide 5

Chapter 2

Description

The Scalar i6000 library automates the retrieval, storage, and control of

cartridges. The cartridges are mounted and retrieved from tape drives

using a robotic assembly that is driven by application software from the

host without operator intervention. The library is designed for ease of

installation, configuration, and field upgrades.

In December, 2011, the library robotics were redesigned. The robot

redesign accommodates either a single robot or dual robotics. The

original robot hardware is referred to as Gen 1 robot; the new robot

hardware is referred to as Gen 2 robot.

In March 2013, the library electronics were redesigned, including a new

second generation Management Control Blade (MCB 2). The electronics

redesign is referred to as Gen2 Electronics and is required for to support

new features, such as Active/Active operation for Dual Robots and the

High-Density Expansion Module (HDEM).

In June 2015 new Series 3 modules were released for the Control

Module (CM3), Drive Ready Expansion Module (DREM3) and Storage

Expansion Module (SEM3). These new modules are capable of a higher

number of drive support than the previous modules:

• CM3: Supports up to 18 tape drives

• DREM3: Supports up to 24 tape drives

• SEM3: Does not support tape drives but can be converted to a

DREM3

• RPM (DREM3): Still supports 12 drives, no expanded drive support
