On HP-UX libraries with more than one SCSI interface, the robotic control is not supported with EISA-SCSI card.

STK ACSLS libraries are supported in HP-UX, Windows, Solaris SPARC and IBM AIX Media Agents. However, it is possible for all other Data Protector Media Agents to control ACSLS robotics indirectly through the HP-UX, Windows, Solaris or IBM AIX Media Agent.

ADIC DAS libraries are supported in HP-UX 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 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 6.20 supports STK VolSafe WORM media on all supported platforms with the STK9840 tape drive. HP LTO WORM media are supported on HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Tru64 and HP OpenVMS operating systems. Please note that a “Tape
