Sorry for the poor quality photos - not my best work.
Storage rack, three tape libraries (Left To Right)Extra gear, extra UPS, network rack, unused rack, storage rack, first tape library (Left To Right)Networking rack inside (From cold isle)Unused rack inside (From cold isle)Storage rack inside (From cold isle)Two of the EMC DS60 DAS units - 60-bay 12Gbps SAS DASHot isleTwo of the Scalar i6000 tape librariesBit better view of one of the tape libraries. Each one is two racks in width. The two doors you see are one library. The other two libraries. The left has gen2 robotics and the right gen1. Inside of one of the tape libraries - gen2 roboticsInside of one of the tape libraries - gen2 roboticsInside of one of the tape libraries - gen2 roboticsTape robot - the part that grabs the tapes and moves them around - gen2 roboticsRear of the drive side of one of the i6000 tape libraries. There are six LTO drives (right), the PSUs (lower left with handles), the PDUs (lower left with plugs), and some of the control boards (upper left). The six tape drives each have two 8Gbps FC links, a slide-based dual CAN link, and an Ethernet connection to the library for management and firmware controls.
Older, <= LTO5 drives in the gen1 robotics library. They're unused right now. Closer look at the power supply units (two vertically stacked, left) and the PDUs (two vertically stacked, middle). Along the top are the management blades. A word of caution, the service port allows direct access to the tape drive's blade-to-blade network. There is no real security on that side. Ethernet blades that connect to the LTO drives to manage them. Older units used FC switch blades too. Interior of my P-Series mini split. It's a 42kBTU/hr unit that can cool with outside temps below freezing. Most ACs will stop cooling around 60f/15c. Exterior of my P-Series mini split. While I don't have the baffle that'd let me cool with outside temps well below -10f/-13c. Basic control unit. Have a todo for myself to get this hooked into my Home Assistant install. A pair of Eaton 9170+ - though they have different internal configurations. Backup, unhooked UPS (left) and the live UPS (right)Yeah, I'm running this 18kVA UPS at 43% load. From hot isle facing cold isleBackup (left) & active (right) with the row of racks lower left. The e-stop is still unhooked as I've been having issues with configuring the UPS to use the NC signal. It's currently configured to ignore the signal. A few of the overhead L6-30R - Each is backed by a 240V 30A breaker. Along to the ceiling in the hot isle. You can see the L6-30R for the PDUs and libraries, the cable tray, and a few overhead patch panels that are works in progress for the library FC drive links.
The wall mounted conduit on the right is the power from one of the 200A main panels and the left (with 90deg elbow) is the feed from the UPS to its breaker panel.
The UPS output breaker panel is so close to full :(The 100A 240V breaker is for the UPS feed. One of these days I'll bump it to 125A like my new UPS should have. Cable run is rated for it already. Last 1y of power usage for my house per the electric provider. Yes, an average 8.2mWh per month. Yes, it does in fact hurt. A 50kw Generac full house generator. It's enough to power my servers, the servers mini-split, and the all-electric house. It's natural gas for seemingly unlimited runtime. The back of my hybrid hardware-software streaming infra. This is the hardware streaming side. It's all 6Gbps SDI. The back of my hybrid hardware-software streaming infra. This is the software side. Front of the hardware streaming systems.
