Tape cartridges

Libraries that are installed with LTO tape drives use LTO tape cartridges. Libraries that are installed with 3592 tape drives use 3592 tape cartridges.

Note: Management and handling of tape cartridges is a customer function and responsibility.

Mixed media configurations are supported, meaning that a tape library can contain a mix of 3592 and LTO tape cartridges. Certain restrictions apply to the use of tape cartridges with drives. For more information about media and drive compatibility, refer to the topic Mixing media in drives in the Related information section.
