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 617G.GS01001

(i8.4) or earlier.

The tape drives are enclosed in a universal drive sled. The library

supports the following tape drives types:

• IBM LTO-1 or LTO-2 LVD–SCSI

• IBM LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, and LTO-6 FC Multi-mode

• HP LTO-3, HP LTO-4, LTO-5, and LTO-6 FC Multi-mode

For i11, the control module and the drive ready expansion modules have

two sets of upper and lower drive clusters. Each library must have at

least one tape drive. Each drive cluster can house up to six tape drives

for a total of 24 drives per module. While additional drives can be added

to any DREM in the configuration, the maximum number of drives is

192. In dual robotics systems, the left parking module cannot contain

drives.

Note: Standard expansion modules in positions 9 through 16 are no

longer storage-only expansion modules.

Note: The term

drive cluster

defines a grouping of up to six tape

drives below or above the middle X-axis rail. See

Figure 3 on

page 10 for the locations of drive clusters.

Even though tape drives can be installed in any module (except LPM and

HDEM), it is recommended that tape drives be installed in bottom-to-

top order in the control module before any are added to other

expansion modules. Once the control module has 18 drives installed

from bottom to top, you should move to bottom drive position of a

drive-ready expansion module. Refer to

LTO Drive Requirements and

Compatibility on page 80 for LTO drive requirements.
