A list of supported storage devices is available on the Tivoli Storage
Manager Web site at the following address:
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html
Tivoli Storage Manager supports a wide range of manual devices and
automated library devices:
- Tape Devices
- Tivoli Storage Manager supports the manual and automated tape devices
listed at the Tivoli Storage Manager Web site.
- Note:
- Due to changes in the device support for version 5.1, the Precision
Bus architecture for attaching SCSI tape devices on HP systems is no longer
supported. This bus is SIO-based and is considered obsolete. In
version 5.1, device support for buses based on SIO was replaced with
support for buses based on WSIO. If your system uses buses based on
SIO, do not install or migrate to Tivoli Storage Manager Version
5.1.
The HSC bus is still supported. To use the functions of version
5.1, you must migrate your hardware to current hardware that is based
on WSIO, such as the PCI bus or the HSC bus. Questions about these bus
architectures should be directed to Hewlett-Packard.
- Disk Devices
- Tivoli Storage Manager supports the disk devices listed at the Tivoli
Storage Manager Web site.
- Optical Disk Devices
- Tivoli Storage Manager now supports the manual and automated optical disk
devices listed at the Tivoli Storage Manager Web site.
- Other Removable File Devices
- Tivoli Storage Manager supports the removable media devices (such as
optical drives, CD-ROM devices, and Iomega Zip and Jaz drives) listed at the
Tivoli Storage Manager Web site.
- Storage Area Network (SAN) Devices
- Tivoli Storage Manager supports devices in a storage area network (SAN)
environment, but the devices must be supported by the Tivoli Storage Manager
device driver. See the Tivoli Storage Manager Web site for information
about supported Fibre Channel hardware and configurations.
