5.2 SCSI requirements
The AP Series tape library incorporates a wide SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 Low-Voltage
Differential (LVD) SCSI bus, but may also be attached to a Single-Ended (SE) SCSI bus. Make sure your
SCSI host adapter or controller supports these standards. If you connect the library to an SE SCSI bus,
or if there are SE devices attached to the same SCSI bus, the library’s performance is limited to the
maximum data transfer speed and maximum cable lengths of the SE bus. For these reasons,
PIVOTSTOR, LLC strongly recommends that you do not use a SE SCSI bus with the library.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect an LTO3 device to a SE SCSI bus, as it will severely degrade
performance.
IMPORTANT: The AP Series tape library is NOT compatible with a standard differential (Diff) or High-
Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI bus. This library is compatible with a narrow (50-pin) SCSI
bus using a 68-pin to 50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18 pins (Not included with
the library). These adapters are sometimes labeled high-byte termination.
5.3 SCSI host bus adapters (HBAs)
To get optimum performance from your AP Series tape library you need a SCSI bus that can transfer
data at a rate that supports the library’s maximum burst transfer speed, see ”Maximum storage
capacity and data transfer rate” on page 11.
If necessary, install a SCSI host adapter, software, and compatible driver(s). Refer to the manuals for
the host computer and the SCSI host adapter for detailed information.
A single-ended SCSI host bus adapter will severely degrade performance and limit cable length. Also, if
there is any SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed,
severely degrading performance.
5.4 LUN scanning
The AP Series tape library uses a single SCSI ID per drive and dual LUNs to control the tape drive (LUN
0) and library robotic (LUN 1). The library requires an HBA that supports LUN scanning. If it is not
enabled, your host system will not scan beyond LUN 0 and will fail to discover the library. It will just see
the tape drive.
IMPORTANT: Some HBAs, such as RAID controllers, do not support LUN scanning.
