Interoperable Peripherals
Golden Rules
- The combination of a tape library and a tape drive is interoperable with the Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager (SAM) if:
o the library robotic interface is interoperable with SAM
o the tape drive type is interoperable with SAM
o the tape drive type is interoperable with the tape library (as defined by the library vendor). - The combination of a network attached tape library and drive is interoperable with the Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager (SAM) if:
o The network attached robotic interface is interoperable with SAM
o The tape drive type is interoperable with SAM
o The tape library is interoperable with the network attached robotic interface
(as defined by the library and network attached robotic interface vendor).
o The tape drive type is interoperable with the tape library (as defined by the library vendor).
Definitions

Initial capacity will show correctly in a future patch of SAM-QFS. Also, add the following entry to /kernel/drv/st.conf if not already present, and reboot: st_dadp_settings= "STK T10000C", "crc32c", "stk-crc32c", "STK T10000D", "crc32c", "stk-crc32c"; <--- add this line |
