TSM 6.1 on red hat and Tape library drivers

[polani]

Guys,

I am implementing TSM 6.1 on Red Hat Linux V5.5 and confused about tape library drivers. My tape library is IBM TS3200. Should i download TS3200 tape drivers for RHEL from IBM website ? or whether TSM default device drivers which come during TSM installation will be enough?

I am doing TSM server installation on Linux platform for the first time so need a guidance in this regard?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards

If we are using an IBM Library and Tape Drive, should be using the IBM device driver.

There are some rare IBM devices that we use the TSM Device Driver.

Need to check the TSM Device Support page.

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Supported_Devices_for_Linux.html

If we are using a non-IBM device, should be using the TSM Device Driver.

Good Luck,
