Supported Device Drivers - IBM TS3100 Setup, Operator, And Service Manual

Compatible servers and software
To determine the newest attachments, or to get a comprehensive list of compatible software, do one of
the following actions.
v For a list of compatible software, operating systems, and servers for LTO tape drives, see,
http://www.ibm.com/storage/lto and select the Entry libraries tab. Select IBM TS3100 Tape Library
or TBM TS3200 Tape Library, and click Learn more. Click the Learn more button to get information
about hardware and software requirements.
Notes:
1. IBM does not provide application software with this library. To order software, contact your IBM
sales representative, IBM Business Partner, or an independent software provider.
2. If you attach your library to a server with non-IBM software, contact your software vendor for a
matrix of compatible hardware, software, firmware revisions, and adapter cards.
v For complete IBM storage interoperability information for the tape library in a storage area network
(SAN) configuration, see the IBM
support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss. The SSIC has details on supported operating systems,
servers, switches, and adapters.

Supported device drivers

IBM supports higher versions of the browsers if the vendors do not remove or disable functions that the
product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the versions that are certified with the product,
customer support accepts usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system and
virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot re-create the issue in the lab, the client might be asked
to re-create the problem on a certified browser version to determine whether a product defect exists.
Defects are not accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or browser versions that do not affect
the functional behavior of the product. If a problem is identified in the product, defects are accepted. If a
problem is identified with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or workarounds that the
client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available.
Supported device drivers
IBM maintains the latest levels of device drivers and driver documentation for the library on the Internet.
You can use one of the following procedures to access this material.
Note: If you do not have Internet access and you need information about device drivers, contact your
sales representative.
