Folks,

 

I am currently configuring an ADIC Scalar i2000 Library with 3 x IBM
LTO-3 drives on a Solaris 8 server running Networker 7.2.1.  I have
applied Solaris patch 108725-22 which provides native support for the
IBM LTO-3 drive in the st driver.  Do I still need to put a specific
entry for the drive in the st.conf file?  I have read comments
suggesting that a) native support means there is no need for a st.conf
entry and b) native support will not guarantee the characteristics that
you might want from the drive.  Comments please?

 

If any one is using the IBM LTO-3 with Solaris and had made a st.conf
entry could you share the details please?  I have looked on the web and
found information on HP and Certance LTO-3 for Solaris but not IBM.
Would it matter if I used another vendor's LTO-3 settings?

 

Regards,
