Tape Library Requirements
The library firmware and hardware requirements are described in this topic.
Operating mode
For the Scalar 1000 library, the following operating modes are supported:
•Native
• EXABYTE compatibility
• Storage Technology compatibility
• EMASS compatibility
For the Scalar 10K library only native mode is supported.
For the Scalar 10K DA (dual-aisle) library:
• Both medium changers (aisles) must run in native mode.
• Both medium changers (aisles) must operate in non-compressed mode.
• At the time of the first configuration, both medium changers (aisles) must be in the online state.
Ready state is not required.
Additionally, for the libraries with towers (Scalar 10K and Scalar 10K DA):
• At the time of the first configuration all towers (if any) must be in the library (online) state.
Firmware Version
Make certain the firmware version of each tape library meets the Scalar DLC requirements (Table 2).
Remote Browser Requirements
The Scalar DLC Management GUI takes advantage of very advanced Java2 features that are not supported
by all browsers. The browser updates can be initiated from the Scalar DLC software splash page by
selecting the Tools and Utilities tab. Refer to Figure 7
on page 13 and Browser Pre-Installation on page 11.
CAUTION
The Scalar DLC software may not work properly if the tape library operates in
the unsupported mode.
