Note – This procedure does not apply to the SL150 library.

Note – This procedure applies only if the library already includes or will include HP or IBM LTO drives (LTO‑3, LTO‑4, LTO‑5, or LTO-6¹) in the near future. For SL500 libraries, this procedure is required because LTO is the only drive type that provides rich data to STA from the SL500.

Note – For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries, before performing this procedure, you must verify that a high-memory drive controller (HBT) card is installed in the library. See “Verify the Drive Controller Card Version” for details.

Note – If you have an SL3000 or SL8500 licensed for Redundant Electronics, both the active and standby HBT cards must have high memory. If you have an SL8500 running FRS 8.0, the drive adiEnable on command will fail if Redundant Electronics is licensed and either 1) the active HBT card is low-memory, 2) the standby HBT card is low-memory, or 3) the standby HBT card is not communicating or not installed.

Note – Your Oracle support representative may have already enabled ADI on your library if you have IBM LTO drives and you submitted a service request to manually enable ADI on those drives.

Use this procedure to ensure that the ADI drive interface is enabled on the library. The ADI interface must be enabled on both the library and the LTO drives for the library to be able to send rich LTO data to STA. See “Drive ADI Interface” for additional information.

If you change the ADI interface setting, you must reboot the library for the change to take effect.

Note – You must use the CLI for this procedure. However, the syntax of the commands varies by library model. See “For SL3000 or SL8500 Libraries” or “For SL500 Libraries”, below.

At the time of STA 1.0.2 release, HP LTO-6 drives are not supported.
