host applications and device drivers are at the
minimum level that is required to support LTO9
tape drives.
Library Firmware must be at 1.1.1.0-A00 or greater
to support the LTO8 tape drives. Ensure that any
host applications and device drivers are at the
minimum level that is required to support LTO8
tape drives.
Library Firmware must be at 1.1.0.1-A00 or greater
to support the LTO6 and LTO7 tape drives. Ensure
that any host applications and device drivers are at
the minimum level that is required to support LTO6
and LTO7 tape drives.
Library Firmware must be at 1.1.1.0-A00 or greater
to support the Library-Managed Encryption feature.
Ensure that any key manager applications are at
the minimum level that is required to support the
3U library.
SKLM/GKLM for z/OS encryption requires minimum
library firmware 1.2.0.0-B00.
Library Firmware must be at 1.1.1.0-A00 or greater
to support the Path Failover feature. Ensure that
any IBM device drivers are at the minimum level
that is required to support the 3U library.
Library Firmware must be at 1.1.1.0-A00 or greater
to support the Remote Logging feature. Ensure that
any IBM device drivers are at the minimum level
that is required to support the 3U library.
Library Firmware must be at 1.1.1.1-B00 or greater
to support the M8 media feature. Drive firmware
must be at HB82 or greater to support the M8
media feature. Ensure that any IBM device drivers
are at the minimum level that is required to
support the 3U library.
