4. ELEMent=AUTODetect in the DEFINE/UPDATE DRIVE command is supported.
5. Oracle StorageTek SL4000 supports mixed drives and media in the same partition.
6. Oracle StorageTek SL4000 is available with the following Full-Height Fibre Channel drives:
- Oracle StorageTek T10000D

- IBM ULTRIUM-TD8
- IBM ULTRIUM-TD9
- Support for IBM Ultrium-TD8 drive requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.13 or later
- Support for IBM Ultrium-TD9 drive requires IBM Spectrum Protect Server 8.1.14.100 or later
