Solution 1528512.1 : SL3000 - Partitioning and Support of Multiple Media Servers

Applies to:

Sun StorageTek SL3000 Modular Library System - Version Not Applicable and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

A customer is planning on buying an SL3000, and partitioning it for two Oracle Secure Backup installs.

- Can the robot be controlled by both Media Servers independently without issues if there is no ACSLS installed?

- How many independent robots are there and can these be put in each physical partition to support these isolated Media Servers?

Fix

Can the robot be controlled by both Media Servers independently without issues if there is no ACSLS installed?

- Yes; every partitioned library uses the same robotics for each partition.

How many independent robots are there and can these be put in each physical partition to support these isolated Media Servers?

- The SL3000 can have up to 2 robots; they always work in conjunction with each other and share the work load when applicable. One cannot define the robot to be a dedicated resource for a partition. Dual robotics are feature to provide redundancy and potentially it can provide better through put.

When one partitions a library, the interface type, CAP assignments, number of cells, the location of cells, and associated drives are defined for each partition.
