Supported device drivers
This section identifies ways to determine the latest device drivers for the drives
and robotics of the TS3500 Tape Library.
IBM provides device driver support for the Ultrium tape drives, 3592 tape drives,
and the robotics in the TS3500 Tape Library. The device drivers also provide
support for application-managed encryption on AIX, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and
HP-UX platforms, and for system-managed encryption in Open Systems, on AIX,
Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms.
IBM maintains the latest levels of device drivers and driver documentation on the
web. Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral and perform the following
steps in order to access this material.
1.
From the Fix Central Web page, select
System Storage
from the Product Group
list.
2.
Select
Tape Systems
from the System Storage list.
3.
Select
Tape drivers and software
from the Tape systems list.
4.
Select
Tape device drivers
from the Tape drivers and software list.
5.
Select the appropriate operating system from the Platform list and click
Continue
.
6.
Select the appropriate driver from the list that displays.

Using TSLM for communication
This topic describes the IBM Tape System Library Manager (TSLM).
TSLM provides a resource management layer between applications such as Tivoli
Storage Manager (TSM) and the tape library hardware. Essentially, TSLM
decouples tape resources from applications, which simplifies both the aggregation
and the sharing of tape resources.
TSLM provides the following benefits:
v
Consolidated, mainframe-class media management services
v
Centralized repository, access control and administration
v
Management beyond physical library boundaries
– Access multiple TS3500 Tape Libraries as a single library image
– TS3500 Tape Libraries can be separate (at SAN distances) or connected in a
shuttle complex
v
Dynamic sharing of resources across heterogeneous application boundaries
v
Security features to permit or prevent application access to tapes
– Helps to enable common scratch pool and private pools for every application
– Ensures secure usage and visibility
v
Policy-based drive and cartridge allocation
v
Policy-based media-lifecycle management
v
3494 Emulation
