Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the HPE C0H28A LTO-6 upgrade kit? +
The HPE C0H28A is a drive upgrade kit designed to enhance the storage capacity and performance of your existing MSL tape library. By integrating this LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 Fibre Channel drive, you can significantly increase your data throughput and total cartridge capacity, providing a cost-effective path to modernizing your archival and backup infrastructure.
Does the C0H28A upgrade support Fibre Channel connectivity? +
Yes, this specific kit utilizes a Fibre Channel interface, which is ideal for high-performance enterprise storage area network (SAN) environments. It ensures reliable, high-speed data transfer rates between your server infrastructure and the tape library, facilitating efficient backup windows and robust connectivity for demanding data-intensive applications.
Which HPE tape library models are compatible with the C0H28A LTO-6 drive? +
The C0H28A is engineered specifically for the HPE MSL tape library series. It serves as a field-installable upgrade to scale your library's capabilities. Before proceeding with the installation, verify your current library firmware version to ensure seamless integration and optimal communication between the drive and the MSL controller.
What are the performance benefits of moving to LTO-6 technology with this kit? +
Upgrading to LTO-6 technology provides a substantial boost in both capacity and transfer speeds compared to previous generations. This drive enables native capacities of up to 2.5TB per cartridge, and significantly higher compressed capacities, allowing you to store more data in a smaller physical footprint while reducing the time required for complete system backups.
Is the C0H28A LTO-6 drive backward compatible with older tape media? +
LTO-6 drives are designed with backward compatibility in mind. This drive can typically read and write to LTO-5 media and read from LTO-4 media. This flexibility allows you to leverage your existing investment in tape cartridges while transitioning to the higher density and improved performance standards of the LTO-6 generation.
How do I physically install the C0H28A into my HPE MSL library? +
Installation is designed to be straightforward for system administrators. The kit includes the necessary components to slide the drive into an open drive bay within the MSL library chassis. Ensure the library is powered down or follow your specific library's 'hot-swap' procedures, then secure the drive, reconnect the Fibre Channel cabling, and perform a library inventory.
Does the C0H28A kit include necessary cables for integration? +
This kit includes the drive unit and the essential hardware required for integration into an existing HPE MSL slot. Depending on your specific rack configuration and existing SAN setup, you may need to ensure you have the appropriate Fibre Channel cables on hand to connect the drive to your host bus adapter or Fibre Channel switch.
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the C0H28A drive? +
To maintain optimal reliability, it is best practice to utilize standard HPE cleaning cartridges whenever the library indicates a drive-cleaning requirement. Regularly updating the library firmware and monitoring the status logs through the management console will help proactively identify potential issues and ensure the drive continues to operate within peak performance parameters.
