SNMP provides various levels of notification about specific library events and user actions.
– Inactive – No events are sent.
– Critical – Only critical events are sent.
– + Warnings – Only critical and warning events are sent.
– + Configuration – Only critical, warning, and configuration events are sent.
– + Information – All events are sent.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) audit logging provides logging information about
specific tape library user actions. To configure SNMP, see “Locating Management functions” on page
63.

Host connectivity

Compatible servers and software

The library is supported by a wide variety of servers, operating systems, and adapters. There are many
ways to determine the servers and software that support this library.

These attachments can change throughout the lifecycle of the product. To determine the newest
attachments, or to get a comprehensive list of compatible software, do one of the following actions.

v

For a list of compatible software, operating systems, and servers for LTO tape drives, see
www.Dell.com/support.

Notes:

1.

Dell does not provide application software with this library. To order software, contact your sales
representative, Business Partner, or an independent software provider.

2.

If you attach your library to a server with non-Dell software, contact your software vendor for a
matrix of compatible hardware, software, firmware revisions, and adapter cards.

Note:

The library requires an HBA with multiple LUN supports. Also, multiple LUN supports must be

enabled on the host computer. When multiple LUN supports are not enabled, the host computer can see
the tape drive, but not the library.

Supported device drivers

Dell provides device driver support for the LTO tape drives, and the robotics in this library.

Dell maintains the current levels of device drivers and driver documentation on the web. Go to
www.Dell.com/support and follow the steps to access this material.

Network connectivity

Supported browsers

IBM supports higher versions of the browsers if the vendors do not remove or disable functions that the
product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the versions that are certified with the product,
customer support accepts usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system and
virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot re-create the issue in the lab, the client might be asked
to re-create the problem on a certified browser version to determine whether a product defect exists.
Defects are not accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or browser versions that do not affect
the functional behavior of the product. If a problem is identified in the product, defects are accepted. If a
problem is identified with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or workarounds that the
client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available.
