Notes:
Library capacity
- 6 HH drives, 70 slots, expandable up to 7 modules
Barcodes are required
- Eight character barcodes are required. The last 2 characters must be the media identifier "Lx" where x is the tape cartridge generation. For example, ABC456L5 for an LTO-5 cartridge. Without a proper barcode label, a volume will appear as "unknown media".
ELEMent=AUTODetect in the DEFINE/UPDATE DRIVE command is supported.
HPE StoreEver MSL6480 library supports mixed generation LTO drives in the same partition.
HP StoreEver MSL6480 is available with the following drives:
- HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3000
- HP LTO-6 Ultrium 6250
- HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-7 Ultrium 15000
- HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-8 Ultrium 30750
- HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-9 Ultrium 45000
- LTO-7 support requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 7.1.4 or later
- LTO-8 support requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.4 or later
- LTO-9 support requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.14.100 or later
