Re: IBM-3494 vs STK-9740

Hi Tia,

I have already installed few 9710 STK with ADSM (on Aix, HP an Sun
platforms).

For HP, there are few things to do in order to recognize the library
(sctl, spt, ...) and drives (DLT4000 or DLT7000) ; some patchs from HP
are needed.

For Aix, connect and create mt and lb (via ADSM DEVICE on smit) very
easy ! and after define the library and drives !!

For Sun, like HP, there are few commands to create links for the
library and drives.

For the new drive eagle, there are informations on the Web IBM
(compatibility drive & library).

For the 9740 library, you can "daisy-chained" 6 librarys maximum, but
the software ACSLS is needed because the Pass-through (between the
different library) is only accessible by the RS232 port...
