1. When defining a device class for Compaq AIT drives, use
  • DEVType=8MM
  • FORMAT=<DRIVE | AIT | AITC>

    Example:

    DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=8MM FORMAT=AIT .....

    DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=8MM FORMAT=AITC .....

    AIT - Specifies that the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server writes data that uses the AIT recording format.

    AITC - Specifies that the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server writes data that uses the AIT recording format with compression.

2. Capacity
    AIT35 - 35GB native capacity and approximately 70GB with 2:1 compression
    AIT50 - 50GB native capacity and approximately 100GB with 2:1 compression
    AIT100 - 100GB native capacity and approximately 200GB with 2:1 compression

3. Device identifications and firmware revisions
    AIT35
    • Drive ID : COMPAQ SDX-400C --- Firmware : 3.0G
    AIT50
    • Drive ID : COMPAQ SDX-500C
    AIT100
    • Drive ID : COMPAQ SDX-700C --- Firmware : 7.0A

4. Supported Media
    AIT35
    • AIT-1 70GB data cartridge
    AIT50
    • AIT-1 70GB data cartridge
    • AIT-2 100GB data cartridge
    AIT100
    • AIT-1 70GB data cartridge
    • AIT-2 100GB data cartridge
    • AIT-3 200GB data cartridge

5. All Compaq AIT drives reports drive serial number.


Library and drive may require different minimum Tivoli Storage Manager levels. Therefore, ensure that both library and drive hardware are supported. See "Supported Devices for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris and Windows" or "Supported Devices for Linux" for minimum supported version levels and platforms for these devices.

More information regarding device configuration is available in the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide, which can be found in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager information center.
