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-L53

The IBM 3584 TS3500 Tape Library Model L53 is a base frame designed for IBM TS1030 LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives and LTO data cartridges. The Model L53
base frame has 64 to 287 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 L53 is designed with an optimized gripper for use with LTO or 3592
tape cartridges. Data capacity for the Model L53 depends on the types of LTO Ultrium cartridges, up to 230 TB of physical capacity (at 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.
Each Model L53 library has a standard 16-slot cartridge I/O station for importing or exporting LTO 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.

Model L23 (base frame)

The 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.

Model L53 (base frame)

The TS3500 Tape Library Model L53 is a base frame designed for IBM TS1030 LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives and LTO data cartridges. The Model L53 base frame
has 64 to 287 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 L53 is designed with an optimized gripper for use with LTO or 3592 tape
cartridges. Data capacity for the Model L53 depends on the types of LTO Ultrium cartridges, up to 230 TB of physical capacity (at 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.

Each Model L53 library has a standard 16-slot cartridge I/O station for importing or exporting LTO 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.
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

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 website that can be accessed at:
from Arrow.com.

 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.
N o t e : 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.
