STA Introduction : Supported Devices

Supported Devices

STA supports the following devices. See “Pre-Installation Planning” in the STA Planning and Installation Guide for complete details about minimum firmware levels and other requirements.

In general, the newer the drive model and the more up-to-date the drive and library firmware, the richer the data that STA receives and the more in-depth the analysis it can perform. For best results, it is recommended that you update your drive and library firmware to the most current versions.

StorageTek Modular Tape Libraries

Drive and Media Types

HP LTO‑3, LTO‑4, LTO‑5, and LTO‑6, full Automation/Drive Interface (ADI) support

Note – For LTO drives, the ADI protocol must be enabled on both the drives and the library for STA to receive rich data about these drives. LTO 2 and SDLT drives do not support ADI, and therefore STA receives only minimal data about them.
