New Library Support in 5.3.4.2 ------------------------------ 1. HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader New Library Support in 5.3.4.1 ------------------------------ 1. ADIC FastStor 1 2. IBM 33622LX (supported on Windows x-Series and Linux x-Series only) For more information on devices supported by the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager device driver, please point your web browser to the following URL: http://www-3.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Supported_Devices_for_AIXHPSUNWIN.html http://www-3.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Supported_Devices_for_Linux.html StorPort Driver Support on Windows 2003 --------------------------------------- The Tivoli Storage Manager device driver version 5.3.3 or later and hotfix 901371 are required. See more information on this hot fix at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/901371. Host Bus Adapter Requirements ----------------------------- It is highly recommended that Tape Drives and Tape Libraries be connected to the system on their own host bus adapter and not share with other devices types (DISK, CDROM, etc.). Optical Devices on Solaris -------------------------- On Solaris, if the Volume Management daemon (vold) is enabled, it may manage and control the optical devices which are used by the TSM server. To prevent the Volume Management daemon from managing removable disks including optical devices, comment out the following line in /etc/vold.conf. use rmdisk drive /dev/rdsk/c*s2 dev_rmdisk.so rmdisk%d Users can also modify /etc/vold.conf to allow specific devices not used by the TSM server to be used by the Volume Management daemon. See the man page for vold.conf for more information. Emulex HBA Driver for Solaris SPARC ----------------------------------- To avoid TSM server hangs, the Emulex HBA driver version 6.02f or later for Solaris SPARC is recommended. See the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Technote 1217457 for more information. http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21217457 Parallel SCSI Adapter Device Drivers for x86_64 Architecture on Solaris Version 10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sun StorEdge PCI/PCI-X Ultra Adapter and Adaptec SCSI 29320ALP-R Adapter HBA device drivers do not support the 256K data size. To avoid this restriction, use a fibre channel adapter for x86_64 on Solaris Version 10. See the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Technote 1244955 for more information. http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21244955 ******************************************************************************* Library Information ******************************************************************************* o IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition is required for a library with greater than 3 drives or greater than 40 storage slots. o The following figures depict the default element addresses of tape libraries. Element addresses are used by IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server to address the tape drives and the storage slots contained by a SCSI Library/Autochanger. The element addresses of the storage slots may not directly correspond to the storage slot numbers. This is important because IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server will always reference storage slots by element addresses, not storage slot numbers. o For a library with multiple drives, a drive element address is required for the DEFINE/UPDATE DRIVE command. However, if the library reports drive serial numbers, ELEMent=AUTODetect is supported and the element address is not required. o For the procedure to configure the autochanger and each drive in the library separately, see the 'Configuring a Tape Drive, or Autochanger' section of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Library Information for ADIC FastStor 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Addresses Addresses of Addresses of Addresses of Model #s of Drives Storage Slots Medium Changer Entry/Exit Slots --------------- ----------- ------------- -------------- ---------------- FastStor 1 240 1 - 8 0 N/A _____ Drive | 240 | |_____| _____ | | | 8 | ~ ~ ~_____~ Robot | | _____ |__2__| | 0 | | | |_____| |__1__| Slots Notes: 1.
