If you want to use Oracle Solaris 10 (Update 8 and later) or Solaris 11 (11.1 and later)
and a SAS-2 or SAS-3 HBA, you should use one of the following backup applications:
Oracle Secure Backup (OSB): 10.4.0.2 or later
■
EMC Networker: current release level with all patches applied
■
Symantec NetBackup: current release level with all patches applied

Power Over Ethernet (POE)
Network switches providing power over Ethernet (POE) must be IEEE certified.
IPv6 Network Address Support
Library firmware versions 2.0 and later support a dual-stack network configuration
that uses both IPv4 and IPv6. In dual-stack mode, the library continues to recognize
IPv4 addresses while adding the use of IPv6 addresses. To configure the network
address, see
Always consult with the network administrator before configuring or changing IPv6
addressing and to get the length of the network prefix for your location.
SAN Connection Zoning
The library can be connected to the host HBA through a storage area network (SAN).
Configure zoning on the FC switch so only the backup servers access the library.
Zoning
Use zoning to partition a SAN into logical groupings of devices so that each group is
isolated from the other and can only access the devices in its own group. Two types of
zoning exist: Hardware zoning (based on physical fabric port number) and Software
zoning (defined with the World Wide Node Name (WWNN) or World Wide Port
Name (WWPN)).
The dynamic World Wide Name (dWWN) feature assigns world wide names to the
library drive slots rather than the drives themselves, which allows you to swap or
replace a drive without bringing down the entire operating system.

About ACSLS (Automated Cartridge System Library Software)
ACSLS functions as the central service provider for all library operations, efficiently
sharing library resources with any ACSLS-enabled application on any system, and
allowing centralized library control across multiple StorageTek libraries.
A switch that is not IEEE certified might provide too much
Note:
current over the cable and overload the Ethernet connection on the
library. Results of an overload appear as the Ethernet port being
unresponsive and the remote management interface not working.
