system consists of the DX30 and DX100 device. Both are backup devices based upon high speed disk drives instead of tape drives. The DX30 consists of: · · · · · A single controller and 1 to 4 storage arrays. A single controller and 2 to 16 storage arrays One or two Fibre Channel switches An Ethernet switch Two or more AC power sequencers. [. . . ] Do not use an IP address in the range of 192. 168. xx since that address is reserved for the internal control network among the DX100 controller, Fibre Channel switch, and AC power sequencer. Note: Note: The system displays the information and asks for confirmation. Press <Enter> to display the Service Menu and continue with Creating Cartridges. Creating Cartridges Before you can backup data to the DX-Series system, you must create tape cartridges on the storage array(s). Note: All of the storage arrays must be on before creating cartridges. 0 To create cartridges on the storage array(s): Caution: Creating cartridges will destroy all data on existing storage array cartridges. 1 Select 5 from the Service Menu (see figure 53) to create cartridges. 2 The system warns you that creating cartridges will destroy any existing cartridge data and prompts you to continue. Type y and the system services are shut down. The cartridge creation process asks you to make the following selection: · Type 1 to create cartridges on ALL storage arrays. Configuring the DX-Series System 59 Quantum DX-Series System Unpacking and Installation Instructions Document 6513502-02 A01 April 2004 · Type 2 to create cartridges on a SPECIFIED storage array. If this is an upgrade to an existing system, create cartridges ONLY on the new storage arrays. Caution: · · Type 3 to create cartridges on a specified RAID set. Type 4 to exit create cartridges. 3 The system confirms your choice and asks for verification. 4 Enter the starting cartridge barcode and press <Enter>. Note: The barcode format must be AANNNN, where A is any uppercase alpha-numeric character and N is any single digit (0-9). Barcodes automatically increment. The system indicates partitioning and formatting for each RAID set on the storage arrays. 5 The system asks how you wish to create cartridges, by quantity or capacity: a If you select By quantity, you can create between 1 and 40 cartridges per RAID set. The capacity decreases the more tape cartridges you create. For example, if you select 1 tape cartridge per RAID set, each cartridge has approximately 1. 7 TB (1. 45 TB for the second RAID set) in capacity. If you select 40 tape cartridges, each cartridge has 43 GB capacity. If you select By capacity, you choose between 43 and 1700 GB (43 and 1450 for second RAID set) capacity per cartridge. The number of cartridges decreases with higher capacity per cartridge. For example, if you select 43 GB per cartridge, the number of cartridges per RAID set is 40. If you select 1700 GB per cartridge, the number of cartridges per RAID set is 1. The capacity estimates mentioned in the examples above assume a RAID 5 configuration on the storage array with global hot spare. If a global hot spare is not used, the total capacity is increased by 250GB. If two global hot spares are used, the total capacity is decreased by 250GB. b Note: 6 The cartridges are created on the storage arrays.
