Ultrium 3 data cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 data cartridges. The Ultrium 3 cartridge has a native data capacity of 400 GB (800 GB at 2:1 compression). IBM LTO Ultrium 3 tape drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium 2 data cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 1 data cartridges.
The TS3310 library supports Application Managed Encryption (AME), System Managed Encryption (SME), and Library Managed Encryption (LME) on Ultrium 4 SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and Fibre Channel (FC) drives using Ultrium 4 media. The AME function is standard on all libraries, while the SME and LME features require a license key.
Control Module (3576 Model L5B) All library configurations include the control module ( 6 in Figure 2-1 on page 2-2). The control module contains the robotics, library control blade (LCB), and touch screen display. The control module also contains an I/O station, fixed storage slots, tape drives, and at least one power supply.

Advanced Reporting (Feature Code 1650) The Advanced Reporting feature license key enables the Media Analysis and Drive Resource functions of the TS3310 Tape library. These user-configurable reporting features provide graphical displays for both diagnostic and trend analysis data which enable customers to evaluate tape drive, media performance, and drive utilization parameters.

Data Path Failover function. Data Path Failover and Load Balancing functions exclusively support native Fibre Channel Tape Drives in the library using the IBM device driver. Data Path Failover is designed to provide a failover mechanism in the IBM device driver for AIX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows, which enable multiple redundant paths to be configured in a SAN environment.
LDAP server to have access to the corresponding logical libraries on the library. LDAP users with administrative privileges have access to all logical libraries and administrative functions and do not need to be assigned to logical library-related groups on the LDAP server. Kerberos 2-30 TS3310 Tape Library Maintenance Information...
Kerberos Authentication is a standard (RFC 1510) third-party authentication protocol that provides end-to-end security for distributed computing environments. Note: The web client login screen gives the user a choice between using local authentication or LDAP authentication. If LDAP authentication is selected, the user will be prompted for the LDAP domain.
The tape drive is packaged in a common drive sled and each drive sled is a CRU. When a drive failure occurs, the drive sled is removed and returned to IBM for repair. The library maintenance package supports the library and the library interfaces with the tape drives.
Interoperability Matrix. Supported Device Drivers IBM maintains the latest levels of device drivers and driver documentation for the library on the Internet. You can use one of the following procedures to access this material. (Note: If you do not have Internet access and you need information about device drivers, contact your Marketing Representative.)

T112: Invalid Tape Drive Firmware Image Description GUI Description: A stored tape drive firmware image is not usable for auto-leveling of a tape drive. Explanation: During initialization or when a drive is inserted while the library is operating, the library checks the product firmware level of the installed tape drive (brick) and compares that version to the version that it stores internally in its file system.
Explanation: The library was not able to update one of the robotics flash parts (but the other was successfully updated). The robotics subsystem can still become ready, but the flash is in a degraded mode and the backup image is unavailable. This is a warning ticket. 6-48 TS3310 Tape Library Maintenance Information...

The configuration is valid and your system requires newer firmware to support the configuration. v The configuration of EM's is not a valid configuration. Troubleshooting Steps: Contact IBM Technical Support to determine why your module configuration is not supported. DR027: Resolve Unknown Library SN Label Problem: The library cannot read one of the module serial number labels but has already validated that the bar code scanning system is working properly.
Troubleshooting Steps: 1. Power off the library and inspect all module terminators and module-to-module cables for any bent or broken pins. Contact Service to replace any damaged parts. 2. Ensure that the module terminators are connected to the extreme top and bottom connectors of the library and that the module-to-module cables are connected correctly per the library documentation.
A common cause for this problem is an unplugged cable that leads to the robot. Other permanent hardware failures that result in loss of connection to the robot can also be a root cause. 6-72 TS3310 Tape Library Maintenance Information...
3. Close the ticket, reinsert the drive sled, and tighten the thumbscrews. 4. The library should now attempt to discover and initialize the drive again. 5.

2. If this problem occurred following the swapping of chassis, control boards, or compact flash cards between libraries, the two libraries have incompatible parts and the parts should be returned to their original libraries. 3. If neither of these scenarios apply or the problem remains unresolved, refer to “DR021: Contact IBM Service” on page 6-68.
2. A valid cleaning cartridge should be inserted into the library to allow cleaning operations to function properly. 3. If inspection of the cartridge slot shows the cartridge to be present, the bar code label is not being read reliably by the library. Replace the bar code label or the cartridge. 6-76 TS3310 Tape Library Maintenance Information...
DR043: Resolve Invalid Cleaning Cartridge Problem: While performing inventory, the library determined that an invalid cartridge is occupying a cleaning slot. In order for a cartridge to be a valid cleaning cartridge, it must be imported as a cleaning cartridge via the library operator interface.
A cartridge was manually ejected from a drive while it was actively reading or writing. This typically occurs when a user is servicing the drive and has not stopped all host operations to the drive. Troubleshooting Steps: 1. Reload the tape cartridge back into the drive. 2. Restart the failed host application. 6-78 TS3310 Tape Library Maintenance Information...
