HP StorageWorks MSL5000 and MSL6000 Series Tape Libraries User Guide
1
Introduction
Designed for backup operations with high-end networks and high-performance
servers, the HP StorageWorks MSL5000 and 6000 Series tape libraries are the
next generation performers in high-volume backup and archival service. The
libraries also feature high availability, maximum storage density, and easy
serviceability.
The library SCSI interface-to-host system supports Low Voltage Differential
(LVD). The tape drives and the robotics control functions each use separate SCSI
connections and SCSI ID addresses. Library SCSI I/O is provided through two
VHDCI-series, 68-pin, Micro-D SCSI connectors located at the rear of the unit
directly under each tape drive. Robotics SCSI I/O is provided through two
VHDCI-series, 68-pin, Micro-D SCSI connectors located on the library controller
board.
The remainder of this chapter describes the major components of the library,
