Supported device drivers
Device drivers enable the drive to interact with various servers. IBM provides device driver support for its various LTO tape drives.
To properly install an IBM® device driver (if required), refer to the IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide. For applications that use other device
drivers, see the application's documentation to determine which drivers to use.
IBM maintains the levels of device drivers and driver documentation for the drive on the Internet. You can access this material at
http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral
Note: If you do not have Internet access and you need information about device drivers, contact your sales representative.
Note: The device driver for System i® servers is included in the OS/400® operating system.
Ethernet port
The LTO tape drive has a single 1 Gbps Ethernet port on the rear panel, with an RJ45 connector.
The Default IP address is 169.254.0.3, but the drive's IP address can be changed as needed. Refer to ITDT to see how to this change is made.
The Ethernet port is used only for monitoring drive status and servicing the drive, not for data transmission.
Important: The Ethernet port is for Service only. Do not connect the customer network to Service ports.
IBM Spectrum Archive
The IBM Spectrum® Archive linear tape file system (previously known as LTFS) is a file system that works with LTO Generation tape technology to access data
stored on an IBM® tape cartridge.
IBM Spectrum Archive uses the file system’s format and resources of the operating system (OS) on which it is running to graphically display the contents of a tape
cartridge in the OS’s graphical user interface (GUI) format; typically a folder/tree structure. With the host operating system’s graphical File Manager, reading data on
an LTO tape cartridge is as easy as dragging and dropping. Users can run any application that is designed for disk files against tape data without concern for the fact
that the data is physically stored on tape.
