Driver Updates
--------------

SPECTRA LOGIC T950 IS SUPPORTED WITH UP TO 240 DRIVES

  The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager device driver version 5.2.4 supports
  Spectra Logic with up to 240 drives. The previous versions support up to
  120 cartridges.

HP STORAGEWORKS DLT VS80 WITH PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION "DLT VS80"

  The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager device driver version 5.2.4 supports
  HP StorageWorks DLT VS80 with product identification "DLT VS80". The previous
  versions support only HP StorageWork DLT VS80 with product identification
  "DLT1".

Driver Requirements
-------------------

STORPORT DRIVERS ARE NOT SUPPORTED

  The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager device driver does not support Storport
  drivers for Host Bus Adapters on Windows 2003. ScsiPort drivers are required
  for the HBAs to which the devices controlled by the IBM Tivoli Storage
  Manager device driver are attached.

NON-TSM SPECIAL FILES MUST BE REMOVED ON LINUX

  On Linux, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager device driver uses the TSM device
  special files only. Any other special files (eg. st1) associated with devices
  used by the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server must be removed to prevent
  conflicts.

*******************************************************************************

Certance CL 400 ( Ultrium 2)
============================

1. When defining a device class for SEAGATE ULTRIUM2 drive, use
     o devtype=LTO
     o format=<DRIVE|ULTRIUM|ULTRIUMC|ULTRIUM2|ULTRIUM2C>

     Example :
     DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=LTO FORMAT=ULTRIUM2  .....
     DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=LTO FORMAT=ULTRIUM2C .....

     ULTRIUM2 - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the ULTRIUM2 recording
     format. This Format results in a cartridge capacity of 200GB when using 
     ULTRIUM2 media.
    
     ULTRIUM2C - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the ULTRIUM2C recording
     format. This Format results in a cartridge capacity of 400GB when using 
     ULTRIUM2 media.

2. Device Identification and Firmware
     Drive ID : CERTANCE ULTRIUM2  
     Firmwaer : 1585

3. Supported Media
     o Ultrium 1 media 
     o Ultrium 2 media

4. Certance CL 400 drive reports serial number.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HP StorageWorks SDLT 600
========================

1. When defining a device class for HP SDLT 600 drive, use
     o devtype=DLT
     o format=<DRIVE|SDLT600|SDLT600C>
     
     Example:
     DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=DLT FORMAT=SDLT600  .....
     DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=DLT FORMAT=SDLT600C  .....

     SDLT600 - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the SDLT600 
     recording format. This format results in a cartridge capacity 
     of 300GB when using Super DLTtape II media.

     SDLT600C - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the SDLT600C 
     recording format with compression. This format results in a 
     cartridge capacity of 600GB when using Super DLTtape II media.

2. 300 GB native capacity and approximately 600 GB with 2:1 compression

3. Device identification and firmware level used during validation
     Drive ID : HP SDLT600             Firmware : 1919

4. Supported media 
     o HP Super DLTtape II 600 GB media
     o Read compatible with HP Super DLTtape 220-320GB media
     
5. HP SDLT 600 drive reports drive serial number.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sony SDX-700V (AIT-3)
=====================

1. When defining a device class for SONY SDX-700V drive, use
     o devtype=8MM
     o format=<DRIVE|AIT|AITC>
     
     Example:
     DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=8MM FORMAT=AIT  .....
     DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=8MM FORMAT=AITC .....

     AIT - Specifies that the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server writes data
     that uses the AIT recording format. This format results in a cartridge
     capacity of 100GB when using Sony AIT100 data cartridge.

     AITC - Specifies that the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server writes data
     that uses the AIT recording format with compression. This format results
     in a cartridge capacity of 260GB when using Sony AIT100 data cartridge.
        
2. Sony SDX-700V can be used as a Read/Write or WORM drive. To use it as
   a WORM drive, when defining a device class, use WORM=Yes.
   
     Example:
     DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=8MM FORMAT=DRIVE WORM=Yes

3. Storage pools assigned to the 8MM device class have a default reclamation
   value of 60. To prevent reclamation of WORM media, set the reclamation
   value to 100.

4. Sony SDX-700V can not be defined for use as a WORM drive through
   the Device Configuration wizard on Windows. The drive will have
   to be defined through Tivoli Storage Manager commands.

5. Sony SDX-700V has a data compression ratio of 2.6:1.

6. Device identification and firmware level
     Drive ID : SONY SDX-700V
     Firmware : 0100

7. Supported media 
     o SDX1-25C 170 m AIT-1 25 GB data cartridge
     o SDX1-35C 230 m AIT-1 35 GB data cartridge
     o SDX2-36C 170 m AIT-2 36 GB data cartridge
     o SDX2-50C 230 m AIT-2 50 GB data cartridge
     o SDX2-50W 230 m AIT-2 50 GB WORM data cartridge
     o SDX3-100C 230 m AIT-3 100 GB data cartridge
     o SDX3-100W 230 m AIT-3 100 GB WORM data cartridge

8. Sony SDX-700V drive reports serial number.

*******************************************************************************
                              Library Information
*******************************************************************************

o IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition is required for a library
  with greater than 3 drives or greater than 40 storage slots.

o The following figures depict the default element addresses of tape libraries.
  Element addresses are used by IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server to address
  the tape drives and the storage slots contained by a SCSI Library/Autochanger.
  
  The element addresses of the storage slots may not directly correspond to
  the storage slot numbers. This is important because IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
  Server will always reference storage slots by element addresses, not storage
  slot numbers.

o For a library with multiple drives, a drive element address is required for
  the DEFINE/UPDATE DRIVE command. However, if the library reports drive
  serial numbers, ELEMent=AUTODetect is supported and the element address is
  not required.

o For the procedure to configure the autochanger and each drive in the library
  separately, see the 'Configuring a Tape Drive, or Autochanger' section of the
  IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide.
