Inhibiting Firmware Down-Leveling

Quantum LTO-9 HH SAS User’s Guide

Application-managed encryption is supported on AIX, Windows Server,

Linux, and Solaris. Encryption requires the latest device drivers available

Inhibiting Firmware Down-Leveling

The drive provides the capability to prevent loading and installing drive

microcode by way of a Field Microcode Replace (FMR tape) if the

firmware level contained in the FMR tape is older than the code level

already installed. This option is controlled by the host application. No

checking is done if the firmware level is loaded by way of the host

interface or the library interface.

SAS Interface

The drive has a dual port 12 Gbps SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) host

interface.
A drive with a SAS interface can be linked directly to controllers. SAS is a

performance improvement over traditional SCSI because SAS enables

multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be connected

simultaneously with thinner and longer cables; its full-duplex signal

transmission supports 12.0 Gbps. In addition, SAS drives can be hot-

plugged.
SAS drives will auto-negotiate speed. There are no configurable

topologies thus no feature switches associated with SAS.

Physical Characteristics

The drive contains a dual port, SFF-8644 SAS connector.
