What is PowerExchange 18/36?

PowerExchange 18/36 is a backup product for the standard DPS 7000 and newDPS 7000/XTA (Diane) platforms. PowerExchange 18/36 is used to read or writeon standard 18 or 36 track cartridge tapes.

PowerExchange 18/36 emulates an 8mm tape cassette drive such as that used onthe DPS 7000/4xx, etc. or the Exb10E. From the DPS 7000 viewpoint, it is seen asa classic "CT/M6" drive. From the DPS 7000/XTA viewpoint, it is seen as either aclassic "CT/M6" drive or a "CT/36T" drive, according to user configuration.

PowerExchange 18/36 is available in 2 versions. Version 1 is designed for thestandard DPS 7000 platform but may be reconnected to the new DPS 7000/XTAplatform. Version 2 is specifically designed for the new DPS 7000/XTA platform.

IMPORTANT:When a PowerExchange 18/36 Version 1 or 2 unit is (re-)connected to aDPS 7000/XTA (Diane) platform, it may be configured to emulate either aCT/M6 or a CT/36T cartridge tape drive.When configured to emulate a CT/36T cartridge tape drive (available on theDPS 7000/XTA platform ONLY) PowerExchange 18/36 is used in the sameway as a CTL9712 (TwinPeaks) cartridge tape drive.

PowerExchange 18/36 Version 1 comprises a 19-inch rack containing an L490Ecartridge tape deck and an integrated Galileo-1 controller (standard configuration).An optional L490E cartridge tape deck and integrated Galileo-1 controller may beadded to the rack (optional configuration).

CAUTION:CT/36T emulation is only available when PowerExchange 18/36 is (re-)connected to a DPS 7000/XTA (Diane) platform.A single tape cannot contain compressed and non-compressed data.


3-2 77 A1 74UP Rev01

IMPORTANT:When a PowerExchange 18/36 Version 1 or 2 unit is (re-)connected to aDPS 7000/XTA (Diane) platform, it may be configured to emulate either aCT/M6 or a CT/36T cartridge tape drive.When configured to emulate a CT/36T cartridge tape drive (available on theDPS 7000/XTA platform ONLY) PowerExchange 18/36 is used in the sameway as a CTL9712 (TwinPeaks) cartridge tape drive.

CAUTIONVOLPREP (CT/M6 mode ONLY):When preparing cartridge tapes for subsequent use, VOLPREP is to beperformed in compliance with the density required:

S35 - no compression,

S75 - compression.

To ensure that data is not subsequently compressed on a pre-prepared S35cartridge tape intended for non-compressed data, a file is to be writtenimmediately after performing VOLPREP. This file may be overwritten at alater date if required.

If a file is not written immediately after performing VOLPREP, GCOS 7will automatically select the compressed mode, even if VOLPREP wasperformed with the S35 attribute.

Cartridge tape labels are NEVER compressed, even when S75 datacompression has been selected.

CAUTIONNon-PowerExchange 18/36 3480 - 36-Track / 3490E - 18-Track cartridgesmay be read by the drive but may not be used for writing data in theappend mode.

3.2 Handling a Cartridge

Improper handling of cartridges can result in the loss of data or damage to amachine component.

To handle a cartridge correctly:

• Ensure the leader block is latched every time you pick a cartridge.

• Keep cartridges clean.

• Inspect cartridges before use and never place a damaged cartridge into a driveloader.

• Never release a leader block and pull tape from a cartridge.

• Never open a cartridge.

• Do not handle tape that is outside the cartridge; the tape edge could be damaged.

• Do not expose a tape or cartridge to direct sunlight or moisture.

• Do not expose a recorded cartridge to magnetic fields; data could be destroyed.

The Galileo controller is available in two versions, Galileo-1 and Galileo-2. Bothversions are used for PowerExchange 18/36.

COMPSCSI

SEL+

Figure 5-1 Front of the Controller (Galileo-1)

Galileo-1 is equipped with a Fast Narrow SCSI-2 interface designed for thestandard DPS 7000 platform, but can be reconnected to the new DPS 7000/XTA(Diane) platform.

When connected to a DPS 7000 platform, Galileo-1 emulates a standard 8 mmsequential backup peripheral – Device Class CT/M6.

When connected to a DPS 7000/XTA platform, Galileo-1 emulates either astandard 8 mm sequential backup peripheral – Device Class CT/M6 or a standard½-inch cartridge drive – Device Class CT/36T, according to user configuration.

Figure 5-2 Front of the Controller (Galileo-2)


5-2 77 A1 74UP Rev01

Galileo-2 is equipped with a Wide Ultra SCSI interface specifically designed forthe new DPS 7000/XTA (Diane) platform.

When connected to a DPS 7000/XTA platform, Galileo-2 emulates either astandard 8 mm sequential backup peripheral – Device Class CT/M6 or a standard½-inch cartridge drive – Device Class CT/36T, according to user configuration.

Galileo controller performance is not reliant on the host system for continuousstreaming and is therefore highly effective for real-time data or log file recording.

IMPORTANT:PowerExchange 18/36 is delivered pre-configured and ready for use.Configuration is only to be carried out by qualified Bull Support technicians.

The Select key is used to perform many of the operations described in thischapter. In Figure 5-1 and 5-2, this key is identified by its abbreviation SEL. Inthe rest of this chapter, this key is referred to by its full name Select.

The controller microcode version is V4.0 for Galileo-1 and S4.0 for Galileo-2.

CAUTION:In the event of a power failure while saving to the nonvolatile memory, thecontroller microcode may be permanently altered. This condition is detectedduring the auto-test. To guard against this eventuality, the controller has asecond microcode, referred to as the backup firm.

The backup firm microcode is automatically selected in the event of a normalmicrocode defect and can be manually selected by validating the “+” key duringthe startup sequence (at power on or after reset).

At the end of the configuration phase and according to which microcode is active,the controller copies the active microcode and the configuration to the othermicrocode. It then displays either Save firm->backup to update the backupmicrocode when the normal microcode is active, or Restore backup firm toregenerate a normal microcode when the backup microcode is active.

IMPORTANT:You are advised to copy the normal microcode to the backup microcode at theend of the installation procedure in order to dispose of the appropriate backupconfiguration.

CAUTION:In the event of an incident when modifying the backup microcode, thecontroller will be unusable until repaired by the manufacturer.
