SL8500 partitioning across library complex (16 partitions)
SL8500 bulk CAP
SL4000 Feature Card
The following table translates drive types between applications. The Drive Type Name represents the drive type in cmd_proc and event log messages. The ACSAPI Drive Type Number is used in ACSLS software operations and ACSAPI client communications.
Note:
The format of the data written by Fibre-attached and Ethernet-attached drives is the same.Table 2-1 Tape Drives Supported

The following table lists the compatible tape media supported for each drive type.
Note:
**** When a media type is reported as cleaning cartridge maybe, both data or cleaning cartridges can have this media type.
***** LTO-6 media types are reported as LTO-3.2T and LTO-3.2W in ACSLS 8.1. In ACSLS 8.2 and later releases, LTO-6 media types are reported as LTO-2.5T and LTO-2.5W. This was because the capacity of LTO-6 media changed before LTO-6 was announced.

The following table lists the compatible media for each drive type. Use these values as input to the media media_type and drive drive_type parameters on ACSLS commands.
An R/O identifies media types that are read-only by the specified drive type.
