The ADI interface is available on the following drive models:
Note – If ADI has been enabled on IBM LTO drives, the drives will not be recognized unless 1) ADI has also been enabled on the library, and 2) the library has been rebooted after enabling ADI on the library. See “Enabling ADI on the Library”.
Note – See the “Tape Drive Requirements” section within the STA Planning and Installation Guide for LTO drive support information.
The method for enabling ADI on the drives depends on the drive model and manufacturer. See TABLE 1‑2 for details.
An Oracle support representative must configure the drive hardware for ADI mode. |
An Oracle support representative must configure the drive hardware for ADI mode. |

An Oracle support representative must configure the drive hardware for ADI mode. Drive and Belisarius card firmware must also meet minimum requirements for STA. |
The drive firmware must be configured for ADI mode.2

See the STA Planning and Installation Guide for firmware requirements for IBM LTO-4, LTO-5, and LTO-6 drives with the Belisarius adapter card.
This is performed with Virtual Operator Panel (VOP). Contact Oracle support for assistance.
By default, ADI is not enabled on SL500, SL3000, and SL8500 libraries, and you or your Oracle support representative must enable ADI manually. Because enabling ADI requires a reboot of the library, it is recommended that you enable ADI now if you plan to include LTO drives in the library in the near future.
Note – ADI is enabled by default on the SL150 library.
See “Enable ADI on the Library” for instructions on checking the library ADI status and enabling ADI.
For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries, ADI can be enabled only if the library has a high-memory drive controller (HBT) card. If the library has a low-memory HBT card, the ADI interface will not enable successfully. See “Verify the Drive Controller Card Version” for instructions.
