Solution 1019940.1 : Which Drive Model Types are Supported by HSC in the SL3000 and SL8500 Tape Libraries?

Applies to:

Sun StorageTek SL3000 Modular Library System - Version All Versions and later
Sun StorageTek SL8500 Modular Library System - Version All Versions and later
Sun StorageTek Host Software Component (HSC) for MVS and z/OS - Version 6.2 and later
Sun StorageTek Host Software Component (HSC) for IBM VM - Version 6.2 and later
IBM z/OS on System z
IBM z/VM on System z

Goal

Which drive model types are supported by HSC in the SL3000 tape library?
Which drive model types are supported by HSC in the SL8500 tape library?
What media types are supported by HSC in the SL3000 and SL8500 tape libraries?
Which transports are supported by HSC in the SL3000 and SL8500 tape libraries?

Fix

The following describes the allowed transport (drive) model types, by library:

SL8500 library

T9840A
T9840B
T9840C
T9840D
T9940B
LTO
SDLT
T10000A
T10000B
T10000C

SL3000 library

T9840C
T9840D
LTO
SDLT
T10000A
T10000B
T10000C

Please note that the LTO and SDLT model types are only allowed in an HSC controlled library for use by LibraryStation clients. These two drive types cannot be connected to a mainframe.
