I believe you only need ACSLS if you're going to mix your media types within 
the library. If the geometry of all the media in your robot is the same (i.e. 
SDLT) you shouldn't need ACSLS.

We have a L700e (without the expansion, if that makes a difference) and
NBU4.5 and we're not using ACSLS.  We're treating this like an ordinary TLD
library.

It's LTO drives on fiber bridges, 4 Media servers shareing 8 tape drives.

Once we got our bridge/HBA software to the correct level, there's been no
problems with the SSO - we were getting scsi reservation & scsi timeouts.

All solaris 8 environment.

I believe that if we install a second L700 & attempt to link the two via the
pass-through, then ACSLS becomes a requirement.

Hi

Can somebody confirm that NBU 4.5  + SSO  requires  ACSLS to manage a STK
L700e ATL?
