existing customers across a broad range of computing environments. These
environments include selected IBM The H Model is supported in the TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Library 3494, TotalStorage Silo Compatible Tape Drive Frame 3590 Model C12 or C14, TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive Frame 3590 Model A14, and standalone racks. The H Models employ a new narrow track magnetic recording head to increase the number of tracks on a tape cartridge from 256 to 384, utilizing the current 3590 media. They have a native capacity of 30 GB (or 90 GB with 3:1 compression) with the 3590 High Performance Cartridge or a native capacity of 60 GB (or 180 GB with 3:1 compression) with the 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge. This is a 50% cartridge capacity increase versus the E Model, and three times the capacity of a B Model. These advancements can reduce the number of tape drives and cartridges required and the associated floor space. The H Models have a 14 MB/sec native data rate (42 MB/sec with 3:1 compression), the same high performance of the current E Models, and over 50% higher than the 9 MB/sec data rate provided by the B Models. Installed 3590 Model B11, B1A, E11, and E1A Tape Drives can be field upgraded to the new H Models, providing investment protection to the thousands of customers who have 3590 Tape Drives installed worldwide. Your investment in media is also protected. The new H Models will write on existing 3590 cartridges, and read cartridges written with the current B and E Models. Key PrerequisitesThe new 3590 H Models are supported in a wide range of environments including selected iSeries AS/400, pSeries RS/6000, xSeries, Sun, and HP servers, as well as Intel-compatible servers running Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Linux.

The new H Models can also attach to selected S/390 and zSeries servers with ESCON® and FICON™ attachment through the TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Controller 3590 Model A60. Planned Availability Dates
DescriptionThe 3590 is for high-performance tape applications, including:
IBM enhanced the popular Enterprise Tape System 3590 by introducing new Model H11 and H1A Tape Drives (H Models). These enhanced models will meet the growing needs of both new and existing customers across a wide number of environments. Advantages of the new 3590 H Model Tape Drive include:
Capacity The new 3590 H Models employ a new fifth-generation magneto-resistive (MR) head design that provides a 50% increase in the amount of data that can be stored on a cartridge (versus an E model) and three times the data that can be stored on a cartridge (versus a B model). The following table compares the cartridge capacity versus the current B and E Models:

This capacity increase is due to increasing the number of tracks written to 384 tracks, versus 256 tracks written by the E model, and 128 tracks written by the B model. This can be very beneficial in space savings and economy of data storage, since it lowers the cost of storage per megabyte. For applications that fill current data cartridges this can reduce the number of tape cartridges required. The reduced number of cartridges can also free up floor space for other requirements as well as reduce the number of automation slots used. Performance The new 3590 H Models, with a 14 MB/s native transfer rate, offer a 50% higher data transfer rate than the B model and the same high-performance as the E Model. Higher data rate performance has the potential of reducing the number of tape drives required. Attachment Options The new 3590 H Models allow a wide range of attachment flexibility. The drives can be directly attached to open systems servers with Ultra SCSI or Fibre Channel attachments, or to ESCON or FICON servers with the 3590 Model A60 Controller. The new 3590 H Models are supported in a wide range of environments including selected zSeries S/390, iSeries AS/400, pSeries RS/6000, xSeries, Sun, and HP servers, as well as Intel-compatible servers running Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Linux. The new 3590 H Models provide exceptional value-add when supported in an Enterprise Tape Library 3494 and in a StorageTek 4410 or 9310 Automated Cartridge System (ACS) environment. Investment Protection Investment protection is another key benefit of the 3590 H Models. Your current 3590 B or E Model can be upgraded to the new 3590 H Model, allowing you to take advantage of the many benefits provided by the new H Models. In addition, as an accepted standard in the industry, there are millions of 3590 data cartridges in use by customers today, so your investment in media is also protected. The H Models will utilize the 3590 data cartridges in the following ways:
The existing 3590 B Model and E Model tape drives will remain available after the general availability of the new models, and will continue to meet the needs of many customers.

A 3590 Model A60 Controller is required for attachment of these drives to ESCON or FICON channels on ES/3090™, ES/9000®, S/390®, or zSeries systems. SCSI cables for attaching Model H1A drives in a Model C12 or C14 to a Model A60 Controller may be specified on the Model C12 or C14. Refer to the 3590 Model C12 or C14 sales manuals for additional information. Feature 2003 must be ordered on each new Model H1A drive that is to be installed in a Model C12 or C14. Feature 2004 must be ordered on an existing Model H1A to convert that drive in the field for installation in a C12 or C14. Feature 2005 must be ordered to remove a Model H1A from a C12 or C14 for reinstallation in a 3494 Tape Library. 3590 Model H11 Tape Drive: For installation in a rack, the Model H11 requires 12 EIA units of space. If space is available, an existing customer rack may be used. Two Model H11 Tape Drives can be mounted side by side on the same rack shelf and up to four H11s can installed in the same rack. They can also be installed with a Model A60 in the Model A14 frame. Each Model H11 drive installed in a rack must have a rack placement code (#9221, #9222, or #9223) and appropriate SCSI or Fibre Channel cables. The Model H11 can also be shipped for use as a deskside unit by specifying the Deskside Enclosure feature (#2200) which provides a sleeve, cover, and external power cord for the tape drive. H Model Tape Drives: The 3590 Model H11 or H1A (H Model) Tape Drives are orderable with either a SCSI or Fibre Channel attachment. To get the Fibre Channel attachment capability, add one of the following features to each tape drive:
Installed 3590 H Model Tape Drives that are selected to be converted to Fibre Channel attachment must be the last drives on any SCSI bus in the frame, so the remaining SCSI bus can remain intact. Refer to the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape System 3590 Introduction and Planning Guide (GA32-0329), the IBM TotalStorage Silo Compatible Frame 3590 Introduction, Planning, and User's Guide (GA32-0366), or the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Automated Tape Library Introduction and Planning Guide (GA32-0448) for planning information. Appropriate Fibre Channel cables should be ordered for each tape drive. Refer to the Specify Feature Numbers section for Fibre Channel cable information. The Install Fibre Channel Drive feature (#3511) must be added to the 3590 Model C12 frame, or the 3494 tape library Model L12 or D12 frame, to provide the hardware support for each 3590 Model H1A Tape Drive with Fibre Channel Attachment features installed in those frames. The 3590 Tape Drives can utilize either the 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape (Extended Length Cartridge) or the 3590 High Performance Cartridge Tape (Standard Length Cartridge). The Extended Length Cartridge has a native capacity that is twice the capacity of the Standard Length Cartridge. Many solutions require that all 3590 drives in the subsystem have the Extended Media Support capability to optimize drive/media allocation. If Extended Length Cartridges are used, IBM recommends updating all tape drives, to allow flexibility to mount Extended Length Cartridges on any tape drive. However, if Extended Length Cartridges are to be used only on tape drives that are part of a defined subset, then all drives in that subset must be updated. Some examples are:
All 3590 H Model Tape Drives support the Extended Length Cartridge. The Extended Media Support feature (#9780) must be added to the TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Library Base Frame 3494 Model L10, L12, L14, or the TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive Expansion Frame 3494 Model D12 or D14, to provide the library manager support for any 3494 tape library that will contain the new Extended Length Cartridges. If 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape is used in the Enterprise Tape Library 3494, this feature must be on the Tape Drive Expansion Frame 3494 Model D12 or D14 containing the 3590 Tape Drives with Extended Media Support, and also on the Tape Library Base Frame 3494 Model L10, L12, or L14. The Extended Media Support feature (#9780) must be added to the 3590 Model A14 or C12 to provide the subsystem support for the new Extended Length Cartridges. If 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape is used in any 3590 Tape Drive installed in that 3590 Model A14 or C12, then this feature must be on that 3590 Model A14 or C12 frame also. Unlabeled and uninitialized Extended Length Cartridges can be included with the order of a new 3590 Model H11 Tape Drive (by specifying feature 8140), Model C12 Silo Compatible Frame (by specifying #8240), or 3494 Tape Library frame (by specifying #8610).

Tru64 UNIX® Version 5.1A (revision 1885) is the required operating system level for supporting the 3590 Model H11 or H1A (H Model) Tape Drive with Fibre Channel Attachment on Compaq Alpha Servers with the 64 Bit PCI to Fibre Channel HBA (Compaq part# DS-KGPSA-CA). SAN Attachment: Software requirements for attachment to various Fibre Channel fabric components depends on the server and adapter being used. Refer to the list of supported servers for software requirements for various configurations at the following Web site: Application Software: Application software supporting the 3590 is available from IBM and many leading tape application vendors. For a list of compatible software and additional information refer to the appropriate Independent Software Vendor Matrix at the following Web site: ES/3090, ES/9000, S/390, zSeries Systems: The 3590 Model H11 and H1A Tape Drives are supported for attachment to ESCON and FICON channels on ES/3090, ES/9000, S/390, and zSeries systems through the 3590 Model A60. The subsystem will operate in either 3590 or 3490E emulation mode. The 3590 H Models are added to the host system's I/O configuration as if they were device type 3590 or 3490E. The 3590 H Models are supported on the following minimum operating systems levels:
In most cases, PTFs will be required for 3590 H Model support. OS/390 or z/OS: Support for the 3590 H Model Tape Drives provides controls to allow intermixing 3590 H Model, E Model, and B Model Tape Drive subsystems in an SMS-managed automated Enterprise Tape Library 3494 or in an IBM manual tape library. Allocations provide a desired drive type that is managed through a data class attribute for the 384-track recording format. Downward read compatibility of 128-track- and 256-track-recorded tapes on 384-track 3590 H Model Tape Drives is exploited in libraries with 128-track, 256-track and 384-track subsystems. Shared common media pools are used for 3590 H Model, E Model, and B Model subsystems. In an IBM tape library, the 3590 H Model drives are defined through HCD in the I/O configuration as device type 3590 (not as device type 3490E). The 3590 H Model software enhancements are required even if you are not intermixing H Model, E Model, and B Model subsystems in the library. For 3590 H Model, E Model, or B Model Tape Drives not inside IBM tape libraries (non-library drives or drives located in Silo-compatible frames), the software support cannot manage allocation among multiple drive models that use the same emulation type (for example, 3590 H Model, E Model, and B Model Tape Drives that may each be defined in the I/O configuration as device type 3590). Allocation for different drive models having the same device type must be managed under SMS as a manual library (available on DFSMS/MVS V1.5, or later, for stand-alone drives; refer to 3590Device PSP bucket for PTFs), or through local procedures or software products, such as Basic Tape Library Support (BTLS) or StorageTek's Host Software Component (HSC). Although the 3590 H Model device support PTFs do not manage allocation issues for mixed H, E, and B Models outside libraries, this maintenance should be applied to realize capacity exploitation benefits with applications such as HSM, OAM Object support, and DFSORT™ and to enable EREP reporting by true device type or model. This maintenance is also required to enable the 3590 H Model devices to come online. For details on supported software levels, refer also to the Software Requirements information in the 3590 Model A60 sales manual pages, or the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape System 3590 Introduction and Planning Guide (GA32-0329). Note: OS/390, z/OS, VM, z/VM, and VSE system software and service updates are distributed on 3480/3490 format tape cartridges. In situations where 3590 Tape Drives are installed, it will be necessary to ensure the installation has at least one system-attached 3490 tape drive to read the system installation tapes, except for the following:
Compatibility: The 3590 Model H11 and H1A Tape Drives are rack and frame install compatible with existing 3590 tape drives and use existing IBM supplied cables. They are also cartridge and data compatible with existing 3590 tape drives. The 3590 H Model tape drives can read cartridges created by the E or B Models. However, the H Models write data in a new 384-track format that cannot be read by the E or B Model tape drives. Limitations: The SCSI interface supports a maximum 2 MB block size. The SCSI differential interface is a 2-byte wide Ultra SCSI interface. Although multiple systems may be attached to a 3590 tape drive, the systems cannot use the drive simultaneously. The 3590 can only be varied online to one system at a time. Only two AS/400 systems may be attached to the 3590 tape drive, one to each of the two 3590 SCSI ports. 3590 Model H11 or H1A Tape Drives cannot be attached to the same 3590 Model A60 Controller with 3590 Model E11 or E1A Tape Drives, or with 3590 Model B11 or B1A Tape Drives. The H Model tape drives are not supported for attachment to the following:
Planning InformationCustomer Responsibilities: Physical planning is a customer responsibility. Current levels of the open systems device drivers should be obtained to ensure the 3590 H Model is supported. The 3590 Model A60 Controller and 3494 tape library may require subsystem microcode updates by the IBM service representative for the proper installation and operation of attached 3590 Model H11 or H1A Tape Drives. Please inform your IBM representative to refer to 3590 maintenance information for information on these requirements so they may be incorporated into your installation planning. Detailed physical planning information for the 3590 Tape Drives is in the The IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape System 3590 Introduction and Planning Guide (GA32-0329). Cable Orders: The appropriate length SCSI cables for your installation environment should be selected from features #5106, #5112, #5118, #5125, #5128, #5129, #5134, #5138, or #5145 available on the 3590 Model H11 or H1A Tape Drives. A fiber optic cable is required for attaching a 3590 H Model Tape Drive with the Fibre Channel Attachment feature #9510 or #3510 to host Fibre Channel adapters, the IBM 2109 SAN Fibre Channel Switch, or other storage area Fibre Channel components. The cable can be customer supplied, or ordered with the 3590 Tape Drive in the lengths available. The attaching fiber cable must be 50.0/125 micrometers for distances up to 500 meters. The connector on the 3590 H Model Tape Drive is a duplex SC connector type. If attaching to host adapters that have an LC connector, such as the PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller (#2765) on an iSeries model, or the Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter for 64-bit PCI Bus (#6228) on a pSeries model, you should use the LC/SC cables. The Fibre Channel cables on the 3590 H Model Tape Drives provide these cables in the lengths indicated:
