HP Data Protector A.06.1x Device support matrix

 ADIC DAS libraries are supported in HP-UX, Linux and AIX Media Agents. However, it is possible for all other Data Protector
Media Agents to control DAS robotics indirectly through the HP-UX or Linux or IBM AIX Media Agent.
 On Novell NetWare, fibre channel attached devices must not have SCSI ID (or target ID) higher than 15.
 Data Protector magazine support is available only with DDS and DLT tape drives.
 Some devices do not support SCSI auto-configuration and must be configured manually.
 Data Protector enables sharing of multi-drive libraries (libraries with more than one SCSI-II interface) between multiple systems
and multiple cells, with robotic control running on an HP-UX, Windows, HP OpenVMS or Sun Solaris system.
 Library drives and robotics can be shared between multiple cells using the Manager-of-Managers server cell and CMMDB
(Centralized Media Management Database).
 The library extension license is required for us of libraries with more than 60 slots.
 Magneto-optical WORM (Write Once Read Many) media are not supported by Data Protector. Although all magneto-optical
drives do support magneto-optical WORM media, only the magneto-optical re-writable media are supported by Data Protector.
 Data Protector A.06.1x supports STK VolSafe WORM media on all supported platforms with the STK9840 tape drive. HP LTO
WORM media are supported on Windows, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Tru64 and HP OpenVMS operating systems. Please note that
a “Tape Alert [9]” error will occur on HP-UX 11.31 however, such error can be ignored and will be addressed in the next HP-
UX 11.31 “stape” patch.
 It is recommended that no more than 512 drives and 1500 slots be configured for each logical library in Data Protector
A06.1x.
 For VMware ESX support, those devices listed below as supported with Linux 32bit and are supported by VMware ESX Server
are supported with Data Protector 6.1x. Please Note: VMware does not support SAN attached devices on ESX servers.
