===============================================================================
New Device Support
===============================================================================
All new devices are supported on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and Windows unless
indicated otherwise.

New Library Support
-------------------
  1. ADIC FastStor 1
  2. HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader
  3. IBM 33622LX
  4. Quantum DX3000
  5. Quantum DX5000
  6. Quantum DXi3500
  7. Quantum DXi5500

  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_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.

                              Drive Information
*******************************************************************************

Sun StorageTek T10000A Volsafe Media support
--------------------------------------------

1. When defining a device class for StorageTek T10000A Volsafe media, use

   o devtype=ECARTridge
   o format=<DRIVE|T10000A|T10000A-C>
  
   Example:
    DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=ECARTridge FORMAT=T10000A WORM=YES.....
    DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=ECARTridge FORMAT=T10000A-C WORM=YES....

  T10000A - Specifies that IBM Tivoli Storage Manager writes data that uses the 
  T10000A recording format. This format results in a cartridge capacity of 500GB
  when using T10000A media.

  T10000A-C - Specifies that IBM Tivoli Storage Manager writes data that uses 
  the T10000A recording format with compression. This format results in a cartridge 
  capacity of 1 TB when using T10000A media.

2. StorageTek T10000A drive has a data compression ratio of 2:1

3. Device identification and firmware level
      Drive ID : STK T10000A
      Firmware : 131

4. Supported media
      o T10000A Read/Write media
      o T10000A Volsafe media

5. StorageTek T10000A drive reports drive serial number.


*******************************************************************************
                             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.
