Goal

What are the minimum level of code required for supported tape libraries and devices

Fix

The following are the minimum code versions needed to support STA (StorageTek Tape Analytics) on tape drives and SL-series libraries.

Library Minimum Code version Recommended

SL500                                             1466                                                1468
SL3000                                           3.60                                                 3.60
SL8500       7.70                                                 7.70 (single library)
                                                                                                             8.00 (library complex)

Note - FRS_8.00 requires SL Console version 5.80. Other library firmware requires SL Console 5.70.
