SSL1016 and Red Hat Linux

[Andrew_168]

Hi,

What support is available under Linux for HP tape libraries, is states it is supported in the compatibility guide, but does this mean I need a third party product to support it? or are there utilities under the operating system to drive the library. I do hope this is the correct forum!

Andy,

If you look in...

http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

type in SSL1016 or whatever...

the drivers etc. for the various HP bits of kit are listed.

For one of the SSL1016's (there are 3..) are listed
» Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1-Itanium
» Red Hat Linux 7.0
» Red Hat Linux 7.1
» Red Hat Linux 7.2
» Red Hat Linux 7.3
» Red Hat Linux 8.0
which then take you to the tools etc.
Red Hat Linux 8.0
