refers to “referenced support”. Some combinations have been qualified as interoperable in HP-UX environments and supported by Data Protector 6.20. Please see the HP web page “third party mass storage devices”. For all other combinations, “referenced support” incorporates full Hewlett-Packard support for Data Protector 6.20 only. For any device-related issues, please contact the corresponding product vendor first.
In addition, consider the following:
∙For all devices listed in tables below, please check the hardware I/O bus configuration with your device vendor to make sure your device also supports the I/O bus architecture.
∙Windows Server 2003 StorPort port driver is supported with Windows Server 2003 SP1 class drivers. Windows Server 2003 tape and robotics class drivers need to be enabled. Microsoft recommends to update STORPORT.SYS in Windows Server 2003 SP1 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916048/en-us)and to update the tape class driver TAPE.SYS (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907418/en-us). Windows Server 2003 with SP1 limits block sizes to 64kB during a tape transfer. This limitation may affect performance of high performance tape drives that use larger block sizes. Larger record sizes are recommended with Ultrium tape devices. In Data Protector larger block sizes are possible up to 1024 kB.
∙Data Protector 6.20 supports mixed media libraries. For further information, see the HP Data Protector online Help.
∙Tape pool recycle management and a spare pool configuration is not supported when the tape library is populated with incompatible media from the same media type.
∙The IBM AIX Media Agent supports drives only; library robotic must be connected to a system that supports a Data Protector Media Agent with robotics support, that is an HP-UX, Sun Solaris, Linux or a Windows system.
