1.1 About the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) Service
Manual
This document acts as a service reference guide for all SGI COPAN Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
products built on the 400M platform. This includes VTL-specific architecture, how to install VTL
hardware and software, how to configure the VTL system, how to replace various VTL-specific
field replaceable units (FRUs), as well as troubleshooting guidelines. This guide is intended for a
service engineer with experience servicing and repairing storage and communication equipment
and troubleshooting subsystems on the network.
1.1.1 400M Service Manual vs VTL Service Manual
The VTL Service Manual only covers how to service the VTL feature; it does not cover basic
400M service actions. For basic service procedures for the 400 series cabinet, refer to the 400M
Service Manual.
1.2 Other VTL Documentation
1.2.1 VTL System Administrator Guide
For information on configuring and using the VTL application software, see the 400T/TX
System Administrator Guide.

1.4 Enhanced MAID Technology
SGI COPAN leverages the technical advantages of MAID Technology to create intelligent storage
solutions at the enterprise level. We've taken the advantages of MAID – and enhanced them – to
create products that are truly unprecedented in the storage industry.
With SGI COPAN's application-driven, enhanced MAID platform, only a maximum of 25-50% of
the drives are powered on at any time. This platform was purpose built for the challenges of storing
long-term data, and the infrequent access requirements of archive data. As a result, the enhanced
MAID products have the following advantages:
•Overall cost efficiency, higher reliability, and superior performance
•Fast, online access to data
•Extended SATA disk drive life by more than 4 times
•Dramatically reduced power consumption and cooling requirements
•Enhanced data protection and data integrity
•Massive scalability and high density, resulting in much more efficient use of data center floor
space

and recovery solution.
SGI COPAN currently offers the following products and options for the COPAN 400T/TX VTL
series.
1.5.1 SGI COPAN 400T
The SGI COPAN 400T provides a robust backup/restore solution that gives you more reliable
backups and faster restores than automated tape libraries. Data is better protected than with tape,
and there is complete online access to all critical data.
