LTO Drive Requirements and Compatibility
The control module and any drive ready expansion module (including
the right parking module in dual-robot configurations) can each contain
up to 12 FC linear tape-open format tape drives (LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3,
LTO-4, LTO-5, and LTO-6).
Although all six generations of LTO drives are supported in the library,
the drives are not fully compatible (both read/write) as shown in
Tab l e 9.
