Tape Drives and Media
Note:
Library firmware versions 630Q (i10) and later do not support
DLT tape drives, media, or magazines. If you upgrade to these
library firmware versions, make arrangements to remove and/
or replace all DLT tape drives, media, and magazines in your
library. If you want to continue to use DLT tape drives and
media, your library firmware must be at version 617Q.GS01001
(i8.4) or earlier.
Tape drives are enclosed in a universal drive sled. You can hot swap and
hot add all supported drives, regardless of type. The library supports the
following types of tape drives:
• IBM LTO-1 or LTO-2 LVD–SCSI
• IBM LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6 or LTO-7
FC Multi-mode
• HP LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6 FC Multi-mode
Caution:
A single partition can have a mixture of drive types and
interface types within the same domain (for example,
LTO-5 and LTO-6 with SCSI or Fibre Channel interfaces). For
Understanding Partition Media Policy Settings
The standard control module and expansion modules have upper and
lower drive clusters. Series 3 control modules have one upper and two
lower clusters and expansion modules have two upper and lower
clusters. Each library must have at least one tape drive. Each drive
cluster can house up to six tape drives. Additional drives can be added
to any expansion modules in the configuration, except high-density
expansion modules. This enables you to have a total of 192 drives. In
dual-robot systems, the left parking module cannot contain drives.
Note:
When you add drives, you lose storage slots.
As of firmware version i11, drives can be installed in any module in the
library except a left parking module or high-density expansion module.
