Tape library—basic cabling
The purpose of this example is to show cabling to a tape library.
IMPORTANT:
The following illustration shows an MSA2012sa in the configuration, but tape
autoloaders and tape libraries are supported with shared SAS storage enclosures and zoned SAS
storage enclosures.
Devices and quantities
MSA2000sa controller enclosures: 1
MSA2000 drive enclosures: 3
BladeSystem c7000 enclosures: 1
3Gb SAS BL Switches: 2
Server blade types: half-height and full-height
MSL4048 Tape Library with four SAS Ultrium
tape drives: 1
Connection details
•
Switch in interconnect bay 5:
◦
Port 1: to MSA2000sa SAS port A0
Port 2: to MSA2000sa SAS port B0
◦
Port 3: to MSL4048 Tape Library (all
four tape drives)
•
Switch in interconnect bay 6:
◦
Port 1: to MSA2000sa SAS port A1
◦
Port 2: to MSA2000sa SAS port B1
Notes
•
Drives in the Tape Libraries and Autoloader
do not have a second SAS port, so they
are only connected to one switch.
•
The SAS fanout cable can connect up to
four tape drives to a single switch port. Coil
any unused ends and secure them to the
rack to minimize strain on the cable.
•
Available SAS fanout cables:
◦
AN975A – 2m External Mini-SAS to
2X1 Mini-SAS Cable Kit
◦
AN976A – 4m External Mini-SAS to
2X1 Mini-SAS Cable Kit
