IBM TotalStorage 3584 Ultra Scalable Tape Library
3584 L22/D22 The 3584 Ultra Scalable Tape Library Model L22 offers 58 to 260 slots and support for up to 12 3592-J1A tape
drives with an incremental reduction of storage slots beyond four drives or with additional I/O slots. This model has
the same footprint as the Model L52, which is a smaller footprint than the Model L32. Data capacity for the Model
L22 using 3592 data cartridges is 17 to 78 TB native and 52 to 234 TB using 3:1 compression.
The 3584 Ultra Scalable Tape Library Model D22 Expansion Frame can be added to L22, L32 or L52 base frames
in order to add storage or drive capacity. Up to 15 Model D22 frames can be added to each base frame. Each 3584
Model D22 frame has a 3592 cartridge capacity of up to 400 slots and support for up to 12 3592-J1A Tape Drives
with an incremental reduction of storage slots for each set of four drives. Data capacity for each D22 using 3592
data cartridges is 108 to 120 TB native and 324 to 360 TB using 3:1 compression.
Multipath architecture allows the 3584-L22 to be partitioned into up to 192 logical libraries. Logical libraries allow
the 3584 library robotics to be shared between homogeneous or heterogeneous applications with each logical
library having its own separate and distinct drives, storage slots, and control paths. Logical libraries can also be
used for separating different type of tape drives and cartridges, for applications that do not support mixing drives
in the same logical library. Multipath is standard on the 3584 library.
The Advanced Library Management System (ALMS) provides the next generation IBM Multipath 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. Logical libraries
can be added, deleted, or easily changed non disruptively. Storage capacity can typically be changed without any
impact to host applications. The assignment of inserted cartridges to a logical library can be set manually, by the
software application, or by user defined policies.
