Dell poweredge 2950 and HP MSL2024 LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS Tape Library

Hi,

I have  a Dell poweredge 2950 (service tag# Service tag removed per privacy policy>)(PERC 5E/5i).

I bought HP MSL 2024 0-drive tape library(AK379A) with two HP MSL LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS drive kit(BL540B).

I could see to external SAS ports on my poweredge server. Could you please tell me is it possible to connect above said tape devices , which SAS cable to use to connet to LTO-5 Tape drive?

 

Thanks,

Sajeesh

Hello Sajeesh,

With the tape library it needs to be on it’s own HBA.  If you connect the HP tape library to a PERC card then it has a chance of taking out the array on the PERC card.  

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
