Oracle StorageTek Tape Configuration
The Oracle StorageTek (STK) SL150 is a modular library system with high capacity and high reliability which can
be attached to a host via fiber channel or SAS. This configuration will utilize a SAS connection. The SL150 is a
bridged library which means robot control commands are channeled through one of the tape drives (no separate
connection for the robot). If this is a new library, follow the instructions in the SL150 documentation to setup the
library. Following the initial setup of the SL150; connect the tape drives to the Oracle Secure Backup
Administrative/Media Server. To connect the SL150 to the Oracle Secure Backup Administrative/Media Server,
use SAS cables to hook each tape drive to the SAS ports on the Sun Server X3-2 HBA card. See figures 2 & 3
below:
