Sony ODA Optical Drives

Sony ODA Blu-ray Optical Drives are supported in DIVArchive 7.4 on Windows only. The drives are viewable as a Tape Drive and Cartridge (having UDF format) under the Disk Drives tab in the Control GUI.The drives must be configured using the Optical Disk Archive Utility before configuring DIVArchive on the system.The Windows Device Manager will display the drives as an Unknown Device because there are no drivers available for them. Several configuration files must be modified to include these drives in the DIVArchive System. See the Oracle DIVArchive Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed information.

New Drive Compatibility

DIVArchive 7.4 supports a new type of ODA drive from Sony. The details of these drives are as follows:

  • Sony released a new generation of ODA drives: ODS-280F and ODS-280U. DIVArchive has only been tested with the Fibre Channel type. The ODS-280U has not been tested through the USB interface and it may (or may not) work in your environment. These drives are twice as fast as the Gen1 drives.

  • A new type cartridge is available for this drive: ODC3300R. This is a WORM drive with a 3.3 TB capacity.

  • Gen2 drives can read content written on Gen1 media with Gen1 drives. DIVArchive does not support the READ-ONLY media-drive compatibility. Oracle recommends isolating Gen1 media from Gen2 media in the configuration (no cross-generation compatibility), and there must be at least one Gen1 drive in a library containing Gen1 cartridges.
