Firmware Levels
For the current firmware levels for libraries, library interfaces,
and tape drives supported by AMASS, refer to the Release
Notes.
Tape Drive Features
For the current tape drive features, refer to the Release Notes.
Media
The entry for each storage device in this book describes:
• Specific loading and unloading instructions
• Specific AMASS inlet and outlet commands
These commands are connection-dependent
SCSI-attached devices use volinlet and voloutlet
commands and network-attached devices use bulkinlet
and bulkoutlet commands.
Caution
Even though you can manually insert media, you must use the
specified inlet and outlet commands to make sure the AMASS File
System Database keeps tracks of the media.
Note
AMASS assumes a compressed capacity of 2:1 ratio, but some
newer drives may have a compressed capacity of 3:1.
Consequently, the capacity displayed by the
vollist command
after a
volformat will currently show a 2:1 native GB capacity.
