Notes:
  • Tape Library configurations for base model and with 6 expansion modules:
    • 3 Half-Height (HH) LTO drives per base module
    • 21 HH LTO drives per full stack
    • 40 slots per base module, 280 slots per full stack
    • 5 mailslots per base module, 35 mailslots per full stack
  • Barcodes are required.
  • Eight character barcodes are required. The last 2 characters must be the media identifier "L#" where # is the tape cartridge generation. For example, ABC456L8 for an LTO-8 cartridge. Without a proper barcode label, a volume will appear as "unknown media".
  • ELEMent=AUTODetect in the DEFINE/UPDATE DRIVE command is supported.
  • BDT MultiStor is supported by IBM Spectrum Protect Sever version 8.1.4 or later.
  • Support for IBM Ultrium 7 support requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 7.1.3 or later
  • Support for IBM Ultrium 8 support requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.4 or later
  • Support for IBM Ultrium 9 support requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.14.100 or later
  • Mixed generation LTO (drive & media) is supported.
