- Customers should be at latest firmware levels.
- Throughout this page the word PASE refers to OS/400 PASE
The platform fields in the table below (AS/400 and PASE) identify the Tivoli Storage Manager server platforms and minimum fix level required to support the device. Some devices may require advanced device support. Refer to the table legend. When either a unique level is specified such as 4.1.4 or base level is specified, it indicates that support for that device exists starting at that level and for all follow on levels or releases. When "Base," is specified, the following base level is assumed. The base levels ( minimum fix level required to support the device ) are: Version 4, Release 1, Mod 0, Fix Level 00 (dated July 28, 2000)
SCSI and Fibre Chanel
We support SCSI and Fibre Channel connections to all of the devices on this device list as long as it is supported by the hardware vendor.

- The platform fields (AS/400 and PASE) identify the Tivoli Storage Manager server platforms and minimum fix level required to support the device. When either a unique level is specified such as 4.1.4 or base level is specified, it indicates that support for that device exists starting at that level and for all follow on levels or releases.
- A NS in the platform field denotes that the device is NOT supported on this platform.

- Requires Advanced Library Manager
- Note: The Tivoli Storage Manager for PASE does not support any MAGSTAR device in sequential mode.
- Note: Single Drive Libraries There are some functional limitations when using libraries with only one drive. Some operations, (i.e. space reclamation, requires multiple drives).
- Note: Two tape transports are strongly recommended, to function as one logical library under one tape mounting mechanism (manual or automated), in order to support the reclamation feature.
Other Devices Supported
