Magnetic Disk / RAID |
|
| > 10MB space is required on the primary operating system logical drive | |
| > A dedicated logical drive is required for files under XenData management - this must be formatted with NTFS and configured as a dynamic volume. A capacity of at least 250 GB is typically required for this dedicated logical drive when using a tape library, but the capacity depends very much on the administrator defined File Group and Volume Set configuration settings. | |
|
FC / SCSI / SAS Interface |
|
| SAS, SCSI and/or fibre channel interface cards are required to connect a tape library (including its integral tape drives) to the server. | |
| Fibre Channel Interface: | |
| > Use Qlogic, ATTO Celerity 4GB or Emulex fibre channel HBAs supported by the tape library manufacturer. | |
| SCSI Interface: | |
| > Use one or more dedicated SCSI channels | |

| 29320LPE 1-channel PCI-e low profile | |
| 29320ALP-R 1-channel low profile | |
| 29320A-R 1-channel full height | |
| 39320A-R 2-channel full height | |
| > It is particularly important to ensure that the latest Adaptec device drivers are installed, otherwise reliability and performance may be affected | |
| SAS Interface: | |
| > Use only the following cards from ATTO, Dell, HP, IBM or LSI: | |
| ATTO H380 2 external connectors, PCI-e | |
| Dell SAS 5/E 2-external connectors, PCI-e | |
