Ultrium tape drives
This section describes the Ultrium tape drives supported by the TS3500 Tape Library.
Ultrium Tape Drives write data to and read data from IBM® LTO Ultrium data cartridges.
The Ultrium 1 and Ultrium 2 tape drives communicate with the server by using one of three
types of attachment interfaces: fibre channel, LVD SCSI, or HVD SCSI. The Ultrium 3 and
and newer tape drives communicate by using only the fibre channel interface. Library SCSI
commands and SCSI status pass to and from a server through logical unit number 1 (LUN
1) of the first drive of any logical library of the TS3500 Tape Library.
