Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] LTO Drivers for TSM

Dennis,

We have run into this situation as well.  I pulled this out of our
Gresham
Solutions Directory:

As you know an IBM LTO drive uses the atape driver on the AIX platform
with
TSM.
However an HP LTO drive is not supported by the atape driver. atape is
only
for the IBM drive. Therefore in a TSM environment you must configure the
HP
LTO drive with the "mt" driver, create mt devices in TSM, and use device
class LTO with ultrium2c compression.

I hope this helps.
