OSAR Library Overview

Optical Storage & Retrieval


Optical Storage & Retrieval

Optical disk storage is one of the technologies that enables the practi-cal electronic storage of an immense quantity of data. Optical disks offer low-cost storage and high-speed retrieval of those massive amounts of information. In addition, the optical disk media’s write once, read many times (WORM) characteristics ensure that information, once written, is permanently stored in its original form. This is impor-tant in meeting the legal and auditing requirements of many informa-tion storage environments.

The robotic mechanism moves the optical disk cartridges at very high speed between the storage racks and the optical disk drives using op-tical sensors and optical targets to position the optical disk cartridges.

Storing Document Images in the OSAR Library

Depending on the software that your installation uses, you can store any data in the OSAR library than can be digitally reproduced, such as the following:

Faxes

Word processing documents

COLD documents

Personal computer archives

Forms created on the system

CALS documents (a Department of Defense standard)

Scanned images

Voice/Video




How the FileNET System Manages Images

Regardless of how documents enter the system, each one is given a unique document ID. The system stores this ID in two places: an index database that contains other index information as well, and a perma-nent (locator) database that contains just the ID and the physical loca-tions of the document on optical disk. The permanent database resides on the main storage library server, while the index database might re-side on another server.

All documents contain index information that is stored both on the opti-cal disk (for recovery purposes) and in the index database on magnetic disk. When an operator wants to retrieve a document stored on optical disk, the usual practice is to specify one or more index criteria other than the document ID. The system then searches the index database to find the ID numbers of documents that fit the criteria. The system then gives the ID numbers to the permanent database, which contains the information needed to find the documents (surface ID and location on that surface).

When you request information that is on an optical disk, the OSAR library loads the appropriate disk into a drive if it is not already there. The system then copies the information from the optical disk to mag-netic disk (to a space referred to as page cache). The operator sees the copy that resides on magnetic disk. When cache is full, the system bumps out the oldest information to make room for more images being sent by the OSAR library.

Each OSAR library server runs a program called SLC (Storage Library Control) that manages and monitors all the information associated with the OSAR libraries, optical disks, and tape drives on your system.

Optical Disk Drives

The Plasmon LMS LD6100 optical disk drives support the Write Once Read Many (WORM) technology only.

The following table shows the number of disk drives that each OSAR-GTL/GTS library model can accommodate:

Optical disk drives can be installed in libraries as needed; they do not have to be installed at the factory.

The optical disk drives in the OSAR-GTL/GTS library use dual-read/write heads designed to read from and write to the Plasmon LMS LM 6000 12 GB cartridges only. The heads are situated on each side of the optical disk allowing the drive to read from or write to both sides si-multaneously. The disk drives are located below the storage racks. These drives can also read from (but not write to) the LM 4000 5.6 GB optical disks.

For more information about the optical disk see “About the Optical Disk” on page 24.

OSAR-123 123 1 – 4

OSAR-144 144 1 – 2




Optical Disk Drive Performance

Based on the 12 GB LM 6000 optical disk, you can expect the follow-ing performance characteristics from the Plasmon LMS LD6100 optical disk drive:

Capacity: 11.94 GB per disk

Sustained Read Rate: 2.7 MB per second

Sustained Write Rate: 1.3 MB per second

Rotation Speed: 858 RPM

Seek Time – Average: 65 msec

Seek Time – Maximum: 130 msec

Average Latency: 35 msec

Data Buffer Size: 1 MB

Sector Size: 1,024 bytes

Corrected Error Rate: 10 to –12

Spin-up Time: 3.0 seconds

Spin-down Time: 1.5 seconds




Data Access Time

The time that it takes for the OSAR-GTL/GTS library to get requested data to a workstation depends on several factors:

The queue position of the requested cartridge after power up

The state of the optical disk drives (full, empty, etc.)

The number of optical disk drives installed in the OSAR library

The state of the transport mechanism

Network traffic

Server capability

Cartridge Storage Racks

The storage racks store the optical disk cartridges when they are not in use. Each optical disk storage slot has a Slot-Align reflective optical target that the transport mechanism uses to align itself to the slot. Each storage slot also has a Slot-Full reflector that the transport mechanism uses to tell when a slot is empty. When a cartridge is in the slot, this re-flective sensor is pushed out of sight.

The following is an illustration of the storage racks in the OSAR-40/50GTL/GTS library:

Cartridge Alignment in Storage Slots

To detect if the transport mechanism has seated the cartridge in its slot correctly, an infrared beam

passes through holes in the cartridge. If the infrared beam is interrupted, the transport mechanism

does not move. This prevents damage to the cartridges. (For information on what to do in this case,

see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” on page 52.

If a command from the controller tells the cartridge transport mecha-nism to put a cartridge into an already occupied slot, the system gener-ates an error message.

The Robotics Section

The section containing the transport (robotic) mechanism is in the back of the OSAR-107/123/144GTL/GTS library. The corresponding section in the OSAR-40/50GTL/GTS library is on the right side and has an ob-servation window. Using optical sensors and optical targets to verify the cartridges’ position, the transport mechanism moves the cartridges at very high speed between the storage racks and the optical disk drives. The optical disk drives are located in the bottom of the storage section. The transport mechanism can also move cartridges from slot to slot, and to and from the input/output station.

The transport mechanism has two grippers that can hold two disk car-tridges at the same time to provide an efficient exchange function. For example, during normal operation, the drive reads a cartridge that we’ll call Alpha, while the transport mechanism holds the next cartridge to be read, which we’ll call Beta. When the drive finishes reading the Al-pha cartridge, the transport mechanism removes it and immediately in-serts the Beta cartridge into the drive. The transport mechanism then takes the Alpha cartridge and puts it in the storage rack.

Side designations

Handling, storing, and transporting the optical disk cartridge

About the Optical Disk

Since the optical disk drives have dual-read/write heads and can access information on both sides of the 12 GB optical disk simulta-neously, optical disk side designations are relatively unimportant in the OSAR-GTL/GTS libraries at this time. This also means that the trans-port mechanism does not have to rotate the optical disk cartridges. (See “Optical Disk Cartridge Side Designations” on page 26 for more information.)

To identify the optical disk cartridge’s parts, see the following illustration.

Surface Identification

When the SLC (Storage Library Control) program advises you to do so, write the assigned surface ID number (always an even number) on the label. Surface IDs are important if you transport a disk into another system. Also, write your system’s serial number on the label if there is any chance that the disk could eventually be moved to another FileNET system. There is plenty of room for your own information as well.

Handling the Optical Disk


Handling the Optical Disk

Optical disk cartridges are quite sturdy and are designed to protect the disk during normal handling. However, they are not indestructible. If you observe these general precautions, your optical disks will continue to deliver top-quality images.

• The optical disk is made of glass. Do not drop it.

• Do not handle the disk by the shutter.

• Do not open the shutter and touch the disk surface. Fingerprints can cause disk errors.

The following illustration indicates various acceptable positions for handling the optical disk.

Write Protecting the Optical Disk


Write Protecting the Optical Disk

Although overwriting the data on an optical disk is not possible, you might want to write protect a disk to prevent additional data from being added to it. A write-protected optical disk is effectively “closed,” and no further documents or images can be added to either surface.

To prevent writing on a 12 GB optical disk, you simply move the red write-protect switch to the write-protect position. Insert a pointed object (a ball-point pen works well) into the hole in the red switch and move the switch to the left as far as it will go.

The following illustration shows the write-protect switch in the write-protected position.

If you try to write on a write-protected optical disk, the system ejects the cartridge and generates an error message.

Switch in Write-Protect Position


Write Enabling the Optical Disk


Write Protecting the 5.6 Gigabyte Optical Disk

The OSAR-GTL/GTS library can read from—but not write to—the 5.6 GB media. A write-enabled optical disk of this type is rejected and might disable the disk drives. Before loading this type of optical disk into the OSAR-GTL/GTS library, use the SLC software to disable writes to the optical disk surfaces. See your System Administrator’s Handbook for details. You should also write protect these optical disks by moving the red write protect switch to the left.

Write Enabling the Optical Disk

To write on a 12 GB optical disk that is write-protected, move the red switch to the write-enable position. Insert a pointed object (a ball-point pen works well) into the hole in the red switch and move the switch to the right as far as it will go.

The following illustration shows the write-protect switch in the write-en-abled position.

Switch in Write-Enable Position


Optical Disk Maintenance


Optical Disk Maintenance

Optical disks stored in an OSAR library or in their protective cases should need no special maintenance. However, should a disk get wet or dirty, you can use the Plasmon LMS 12'' Media Cleaner Kit.

The cleaner kit contains:

cleaner unit

16 oz. optical cleaning solution

latex gloves

500 cleaning pads (cleans up to 300 optical disks)

goggles

instructions

To clean an optical disk requires that you hold the cartridge shutter open with one hand while continually rotating the hub and cleaning the optical disk with the other hand. This is difficult to do and is not as effi-cient as using the cleaner kit.

To use the cleaner kit, you slide the optical disk cartridge into the cleaner unit, which has devices that hold the shutter open and that let you smoothly rotate the hub while cleaning the disk surface.

Order the cleaner kit from FileNET or directly from Plasmon LMS. If you would like to order the cleaning kit from Plasmon LMS, their web site url is:

http://www.plasmon.com/12inchoptical/index.html

CAUTION Never use alcohol, benzene, or other chemical detergents to clean a disk or disk cartridge.


Storing Optical Disk Cartridges


Storing Optical Disk Cartridges

Observe the following precautions when storing optical disk cartridges:

• We recommend that you store cartridges in the individual boxes in which new cartridges arrive. These provide excellent storage pro-tection for cartridges outside the OSAR library.

• You can store optical disk cartridges either horizontally or vertically. If you store them horizontally, do not stack them.

• Store disks in a clean, dry, dust-free area.

• Never exert pressure on the optical disk shutter.

• Do not place the optical disk in direct sunlight or near a ventilator, blower, or a heating system such as a radiator.

• Do not place anything other than the supplied labels on the cartridge.

• Place supplied labels only on the cartridge’s designated label area making sure that all parts of the label are securely affixed to the cartridge.

• Store the cartridges in such a way that the shutter is turned away from the most convenient edge to grab. For example, in a book-case arrangement, store the cartridge with the shutter at the top or back. In a box arrangement, store the cartridges with the shutter to the side of the box.

• To avoid cartridge damage, place the cartridges in an area large enough to allow for easy access.


Transporting the Optical Disk Cartridge


Transporting the Optical Disk Cartridge

Prevent possible disk errors resulting from excessive vibration when transporting optical disk cartridges to another site by following the guidelines below:

• Wrap or seal the optical disk cartridge to prevent condensation and dust accumulation.

• Pack in a good cushioning material to prevent vibration during transport.

• Adhere to the following environmental considerations:

For more environmental information, see “Environmental Require-ments” on page 70.

Temperature–38° to +153° F.(–39.8° to +67° C.)

Relative humidity(no condensation)

5% to 95%

Temperature gradient52° F. per hour(31.3° C. per hour)

Air pressure105 kPa to 53.2 kPa(–984 ft. to 16,072 ft.)(–300 m. to 4,900 m.)

Plasmon LMS recommends that the optical disk be exposed to the above environmental conditions for no more than two weeks.


33OSAR-107/123/144GTL/GTS Library Operation

This chapter discusses how to operate the OSAR-107/123/144GTL/GTS library. If you have never used an OSAR library before, you might want to read Chapter 1, “OSAR Library Overview,” on page 13, to bet-ter understand the interaction between an OSAR library and the FileNET system.

The OSAR-107/123/144GTL/GTS library has an operator panel with four indicator lights and a reset switch, an input/output (I/O) station, and a power switch. The following pages contain illustrations indicating the locations of these features as well as instructions on how to use them.

Safety Precautions


Safety Precautions

Observe the following safety precautions to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.

WARNING There are no operator-serviceable parts inside the OSAR library. Therefore:

Do not open the doors.

Do not remove the service covers.

Using controls or adjustments or performing procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation expo-sure and/or severe bodily injury from the high-speed transport mechanism.

Do not disable the safety interlocks.

Hazardous diode laser radiation of up to 20 mW at 780 nm wave length is accessible in the interior of the disk drive if the safety inter-locks are disabled or if the service covers are removed. Looking di-rectly into the laser beam or its reflection on any reflecting, mirror-like surface will cause blindness.


Power On


Power On

A single power switch applies current to the entire OSAR library. The following paragraphs explain how to power-on the OSAR library.

1 Make sure the back doors are closed and locked.

2 Flip the power switch in the front lower left panel to the ON position.

3 All the indicators light up momentarily. The READY indicator on the op-erator panel remains off until the OSAR unit performs a self-test. The READY indicator lights up when the OSAR unit is ready to use.

Note If the READY indicator does not light up, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshoot-ing,” on page 52.

Off On

OSARLibraryPower Switch


Power Off


Power Off

Before turning the OSAR library off, make sure that everyone who re-quires access to the OSAR library has finished their work.

1 Use the SLC software to disable the optical disk drives and the OSAR library. See your System Administrator’s Handbook for details.

2 Flip the power switch to the OFF position.

Loading & Unloading Optical Disks

At times, SLC might display a message instructing you to load or un-load optical disks at the OSAR unit’s input/output station. This happens when a user wants to access a document on an optical disk that is not in the OSAR library at the moment.

Note If SLC instructs you to load or unload optical disks in manual mode, call your customer support representative for assistance. The following procedures provide instructions for normal mode only.

Loading an Optical Disk

When SLC directs you to do so, load the appropriate optical disk into the OSAR-GTL/GTS library. The following paragraphs explain how to load an optical disk.




1 After powering up the OSAR library, and the READY indicator is on, slide open the input/output station door of the OSAR-GTL/GTS library.

CAUTION Do not grasp the cartridge by the shutter. The optical disk cartridge shutter is somewhat flexible. If gripped too tightly, the shutter presses against the optical disk inside, possibly causing damage and errors. For more information, see “Handling the Optical Disk” on page 27.

2 Load the disk into the slot, making sure you insert the gripper tabs first. (See page 25 for gripper tab locations.) The robotic mechanism grabs the optical disk cartridge using the gripper tabs. This might seem back-wards if you look at the arrows on the cartridge, but you are actually handing the cartridge to the robotic mechanism inside, which inserts the cartridge properly into the disk drive. The system software deter-mines which side of the optical disk to access for the required informa-tion, but it is a good habit to always insert the cartridge with side A to the left.

Gently push the cartridge in until it rests against the stop inside the input/output slot.

3 Close the input/output station door.

4 The READY and SLOT FULL indicators on the operator panel light up when the optical disk is loaded correctly.

The INPUT ERROR indicator lights up when the optical disk is loaded in-correctly, or if the cartridge is not pushed all the way into the input/out-put slot. In this case, open the input/output station door and reposition the optical disk cartridge.

The INPUT ERROR indicator also lights up if the cartridge transport mechanism loads the optical disk incorrectly. If the transport mecha-nism has made an error, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” on page 52.

5 The DOOR LOCKED indicator lights up when the OSAR-GTL/GTS unit locks the input/-output station door.

You might see a message on the server monitor telling you that an op-tical disk needs to be removed from the input/output station slot. In that case, SLC has directed the transport mechanism in the OSAR library to deposit the disk in the slot and then SLC displays a message telling you to remove the disk. You can also tell SLC that you want to remove an optical disk. For more information on using SLC, see your System Administrator’s Handbook.

Unloading an Optical Disk

When SLC displays a message telling you to remove a cartridge in the input/output slot, unload the cartridge from the OSAR-GTL/GTS unit as follows:

1 Make sure the DOOR LOCKED indicator is off. Slide open the input/out-put station door.

2 Remove the optical disk cartridge from the slot.

CAUTION Do not grasp the cartridge by the shutter. You can damage the optical disk by doing so.

The OSAR-GTL/GTS library has a curb at the entrance of the input/output slot. It might be necessary to lift up slightly on the end of the cartridge to get it out of the slot.

3 Close the input/output station door.


44OSAR-40/50GTL/GTS Library Operation

This chapter discusses how to operate the OSAR-40/50GTL/GTS li-brary. If you have never operated an OSAR library before, you might want to read Chapter 1, “OSAR Library Overview,” on page 13, to bet-ter understand the interaction between an OSAR library and the FileNET system.

The OSAR-40/50GTL/GTS library is a single unit with an operator panel that includes four indicator lights and a reset switch, an input/output (I/O) station, a power switch, and an observation window (trans-parent panel). The following pages contain illustrations indicating the locations of these features as well as instructions on how to use them.

Safety Precautions


Safety Precautions







Hazardous laser radiation of up to 20 mW at 780 nm wave length is ac-cessible in the interior of the disk drive if the safety interlocks are dis-abled or if the service covers are removed. Looking directly into the laser beam or its reflection on any reflecting, mirror-like surface will cause blindness.


Power On


Power On

A single power switch applies current to the entire OSAR library. The following paragraphs explain how to power-on the OSAR library.

1 Make sure the doors are closed and locked.

2 Flip the power switch in the front lower-left panel to the ON position.

3 All the indicators light up momentarily. The READY indicator remains off until the OSAR unit performs a self-test. The READY indicator lights up when the OSAR unit is ready to use.

Note If the READY indicator does not light up, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshoot-ing,” on page 52.

Off On

OSARLibraryPower Switch


Power Off


Power Off

Before turning the OSAR library off, make sure that everyone who re-quires access to the OSAR library has finished their work.

1 Use the SLC software to disable the optical disk drives and the OSAR library. See your System Administrator’s Handbook for details.

2 Flip the power switch to the OFF position.


At times, SLC might display a message instructing you to load or un-load optical disks at the OSAR unit’s input/output station. This happens when a user wants to access a document on an optical disk that is not in the OSAR library at the moment.

Note If SLC instructs you to load or unload optical disks in manual mode, call your customer support representative for assistance. The following procedures provide instructions for normal mode only.

Loading an Optical Disk

When SLC directs you to do so, load the appropriate optical disk into the OSAR-GTL/GTS library. The following paragraphs explain how to load an optical disk.




1 After powering up the OSAR library, and the READY indicator is on, push down the input/output station door to open and then pull out the optical disk tray.

CAUTION Do not grasp the cartridge by the shutter. The optical disk cartridge shutter is somewhat flexible. If gripped too tightly, the shutter presses against the optical disk inside, possibly causing damage and errors. For more information, see “Handling the Optical Disk” on page 27.

2 Load the disk into the optical disk tray matching the diagram label on the tray. (The insertion arrows on the optical cartridge should point to the left side of the OSAR-GTL/GTS library. See page 25 for insertion arrow locations.) The cartridge should rest squarely in the tray with side A facing up.

CAUTION Be careful to not damage the optical disk cartridge shutter. Damage to the shutter can cause the disk to be unusable and can damage the drive itself.

3 After you push the tray back into the OSAR library, the READY and SLOT FULL indicators on the operator panel light up when the optical disk car-tridge is loaded in the tray correctly.

The READY, SLOT FULL, and INPUT ERROR indicators light up when the optical disk is loaded incorrectly.

If the INPUT ERROR indicator lights up, repeat steps 1 through 3. If you correctly performed the first three steps, and the INPUT ERROR indicator still lights up, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” on page 52.

The INPUT ERROR indicator also lights up if the cartridge transport mechanism loads the optical disk incorrectly. If the transport mecha-nism has made an error, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” on page 52.
