6. Quantum DXi3500 and DXi5500 are disk based backup systems which emulate following virtual drives:
  • Quantum DLT 7000, SDLT 320, SDLT 600, and DLT-S4
  • HP LTO-2, HP LTO-3
  • IBM LTO-1, LTO-2, and LTO-3

Library and drive may require different minimum Tivoli Storage Manager levels. Therefore, ensure that both library and drive hardware are supported. See "Supported Devices for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris and Windows" or "Supported Devices for Linux" for minimum supported version levels and platforms for these devices.

More information regarding device configuration is available in the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide, which can be found in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager information center.
