HP DAT Tape Drives: технические характеристики и документация

HP DAT Tape Drives

HP DAT drives are based on the Digital Data Storage (DDS) format. In fact, DAT is the most successful tape backup technology of all time with more than 18 million DAT drives shipped since its introduction in 1989, and with a current world-wide installed base of over 6 million drives. HP has long been the market leader in DAT technology.

This remarkable tape technology continues to flourish because of its ability to meet the needs of the Small and Medium Business (SMB) market for reliable, cost-effective backup better than any other tape technology available.

The HP family of DAT drives is the first choice for data protection for many small and medium businesses with low-end and mid-range servers and workstations. HP DAT drives are also frequently used for operating system backup and software loading on mission-critical servers in many large enterprises.

HP DAT family offers a complete backup solution including HP's unique One-Button-Disaster-Recovery (OBDR) feature providing customers with the ability to restore their systems quickly and effortlessly with the touch of a single button. The included option to download Yosemite Server Backup Basic backup and recovery software provides an easy and robust data protection application for single servers. HP's unique Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) utilities provide HP DAT customers with a comprehensive suite of tape drive management utilities and HP's extensive testing program ensures that customers benefit from the broadest connectivity and compatibility with HP and third-party servers, operating systems and software in the industry.

What's New

DDS Technology

DDS/DAT continues to be the unit volume leader in the tape drive market for small and medium businesses with a current installed base of over 6 million units and over 18 million DAT drives shipped since its introduction in 1989. This remarkable tape technology continues to flourish because it meets the needs of the SMB market for cost-effective, reliable backup better than any other low end tape technology available.

DDS/DAT is based on an open standard format for data interchange. The influential DAT manufacturers group presides over this open standard with verification processes that ensure compliance. With multiple manufacturers developing and shipping DDS/DAT products, customers benefit from increased competition, which leads to better prices, faster development and more choice.

DDS format for DAT is a helical scan format where data is written diagonally across the width of the tape. The advantage is that, by allowing subsequent tracks to have different writing angles and to overlap, a much greater capacity can be achieved for a given length of tape because no guard bands are necessary. The data format also allows for fast location of tracks and data. To achieve this, the rotating drum is tilted at a slight angle (6°) from the vertical. The drum has four heads (two write heads and two read heads), located at 90° intervals. For each rotation of the drum, two tracks are written. The read heads verify the data that has been written (recorded) and the drive rewrites if necessary. The open format ensures interchangeability between different DDS format drives.

HP has been involved in the design and development of DAT drives since the beginning and applies these many years of experience to its current line of DAT products. Not only does an investment in DAT technology provide the security of a format with a history of outstanding reliability, the legacy of backward compatibility also provides the potential for future expansion without compromising your investment in the technology.

The target market for DAT continues to be direct-attach backup. In small and medium sized businesses cost of ownership, ease of use and a proven history (i.e. low risk) are paramount. DAT technology provides the capacity and performance needed in a tape backup solution for workstations and entry-level servers.

Specific Note on DAT 160
The DAT 160 drive employs the same technology as previous DAT products, and uses DAT 160 wide media in order to achieve higher capacities. However, it maintains 2 generation backward compatibility and can still read and write data to DAT 72 and DAT 40 (DDS-4) cartridges. It does this by recognizing the different tapes (wider DAT 160 and the narrower DAT 72/DDS-4).

Backwards Compatibility

HP DAT tape drives are backward read-write compatible with previous generations, thus:

• DAT 160 also reads and writes DAT 72 and DDS-4

Proven Reliability

HP DAT drives have proven to be exceptionally reliable. The drives have demonstrated exceptional performance with customers over many years and across different generations and this has under pinned their popularity.

The drives are designed with reliability in mind and with the security of customer's data as a priority. Hardware reliability is typically measured as MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) associated with duty cycles which suggests the amount the drive is typically used e.g. 100% duty cycle means the drive is used for 24 hours per day. As a result of field data, the specification for HP DDS products is stated as 125,000 hours at 100% duty cycle, or 1 million hours at a more typical 12% duty cycle (drive used on average for 3 hours per day).

Unlike other manufactures' DAT drives, this specification is not generated in the laboratory with limited numbers of prototype drives and assumptions on customer use; it is generated from real customer data for the products concerned.

Automated Head Cleaning/Intelligent cleaning

HP DDS derives benefit from an automatic head cleaning "sweeper" that can be used during the write or read recovery procedure to dislodge debris from the tape path and recording heads and drive. This feature reduces the need to use a DDS cleaning cartridge for manual cleaning.

Intelligent cleaning determines the cleaning provided by a cleaning cartridge when loaded by monitoring the drive performance when in use. If the drive is performing well, a routine maintenance clean is performed. If the drive has degraded performance the cleaning is automatically made more robust to recover the drive to optimum performance.

Interfaces

HP offers a range of interface options with our DAT Tape Drives in order to meet the varying needs of our customers. HP DAT drives are available with a choice of: the standard SCSI interface where legacy SCSI connectivity is required, and USB 2.0 interface for universal plug and play connectivity.

Native USB

The USB (Universal Systems Bus) interface was conceived out of a need to simplify computer peripheral device connection. It has been so successful that the majority of computer systems and servers shipped today offer multiple native USB 2.0 ports.

HP is the first company to develop a native USB DDS/DAT tape drive. Where other "USB tape drives" rely on a USB converter, HP's USB interface is fully integrated with the drive and uses the SCSI command set within the USB payload. The benefit of this implementation is that it gives the drive full SCSI functionality and the flexibility of USB without the additional cost of a converter.

By offering native USB 2.0 DAT drives, HP aims to provide customers with a number of benefits:

• Greater usability
• Plug-and-play connectivity - the system automatically detects and configures the tape drive.
• The DAT drive is installed and ready to backup in less than 60 seconds.
• Microsoft fully supports USB devices natively in their operating systems providing robust, secure configuration and installation wizards.
• Cables are easily identifiable, easy to attach without the need for thumb-screw and robust enough to ensure reliable retention.
• Resource abundance
• Native USB ports are universally available in systems and servers
• Multiple ports ensure that port resources are widely available, reducing the conflict between devices over scarce connectors.
• Port expansion is easy, USB hubs can be installed to add additional ports supporting up to 127 devices on a system
• Low cost, reliable connectivity
• By providing native USB DDS/DAT drives there is no need for customers to purchase additional host-bus adapters
• HP's USB 2.0 implementation benefits from the built-in reliability and failure recovery inherent in the underlying SCSI protocol
• USB 2.0 has multiple levels of physical error detection and recovery which ensure reliability on a par with SCSI and Fibre-channel interfaces.
• USB 2.0 compliance certification provides thorough, ongoing reliability and quality control. A well implemented USB network should use only USB 2.0 compliant components, including USB 2.0 certified cables.
• Sustainable performance

Compression

DDS uses built-in hardware compression using the 'DCLZ' data compression algorithm. Data compression is host-selectable with the default that compression is turned on. Typical data compression is 2:1, but actual compression depends on the type of data being compressed and can be more or less than 2:1.

Rack-Mount Tape Options

HP DAT SCSI and USB drives are supported on the HP 1U and 3U Rack-Mount Kits . The 3U Rack-Mount Kit allows up to four internal DAT drives to be installed in 3U of rack space, while the 1U Rack-Mount Kit holds two DAT drives in 1U of space. 1U rack-mount kits use standard internal DAT USB and SCSI drives for a low-cost solution. 3U rack-mount kits use standard internal DAT SCSI drives.
Either of these rack enclosures can be configured with separate SCSI buses (channels) for each drive or two or more drives per bus using the optional cable kits.

NOTE: Please refer to the QuickSpecs for HP Rack-Mount Kits at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10854_div/10854_div.html for further information.

HP OBDR (One-Button Disaster Recovery)

With HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, you can quickly, reliably and simply restore your entire ProLiant system just by inserting the most recent backup tape and pushing one button on the tape drive. Your HP DAT drive will restore your operating system, configuration, applications, drivers and data files. There's no longer a need to search for software disks and manuals. And with downtime reduced, the costs of recovery are minimized too. There's no need to make a new set of disaster recovery disks each time the network configuration is altered or a peripheral is added. Recovering from a disaster manually at a stressful time makes for an error-prone process. The sheer simplicity of HP One-Button Disaster Recovery means less human error. Backup and disaster recovery preparation -- previously two separate tasks -- become one process. OBDR is simply the best disaster recovery product for small to medium systems. For a current list of servers, workstations, and software that support OBDR, check the tape backup compatibility pages at: http://www.hp.com/go/obdr

Included software

The HP DAT tape drives include the option to download Yosemite Server Backup Basic backup and recovery software. It is an easy-to-use backup and recovery application that is installed in minutes and includes all the features needed to protect a single machine by backup to a HP Storage tape drive. Yosemite Server Backup Basic includes pre-defined and customizable media rotation schemes so you can define when you backup and how long your backups are retained, while easily managing your DAT data cartridges. Yosemite Server Backup Basic supports all the features of the DAT tape drives. The Data Protector Express Basic Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (BMDR) feature supports the One Button Disaster Recovery capability of the DAT tape drives for fast and automated recovery of a ProLiant server after a major disaster. Backup data compression can be turned on or off as part of the backup job specifications.
