3.4.2.1. IBM 3494
The 3494 PVR supports Ethernet and RS-232 (TTY) attached robots. If appropriately configured,
multiple robots can be accessible from a single node.
3.4.2.2. Drive-Controlled LTO Libraries (IBM 3582, IBM 3583, IBM
3584, Spectralogic T120)
The IBM 3582, IBM 3583, IBM 3584, and Spectralogic T120 Tape Libraries and Robots must be
attached to Linux or AIX workstation through a SCSI interface. In each case, the library shares a
SCSI channel with one of the drives, so at least one of the drives in the library must be connected to
the workstation. This workstation must be an HPSS node running the PVR. The tape driver must be
installed on this node. The LTO PVR and SCSI PVR (if using SCSI-3 interface) are used to
communicate with these libraries.
3.4.2.3. STK L40, STK SL500, STK SL8500
The SCSI PVR is used to communicate with the STK L40, STK SL500, and STK SL8500.
3.4.2.4. STK
The STK PVR must be able to communicate with STK’s ACSLS server. HPSS requires ACSLS
version 7.0.0. For the PVR to communicate with the ACSLS server, it must have a TCP/IP
connection to the server (e.g. Ethernet) and STK’s SSI software must be running on the node with the
PVR. Multiple STK Silos can be connected via pass through ports and managed by a single ACSLS
server. This collection of robots can be managed by a single HPSS PVR.
3.4.2.5. ADIC AML
The AML PVR is supported by special bid only.
The Distributed AML Server (DAS) client components on the AIX workstations must be able to
communicate (via a TCP/IP connected network) with DAS Client components on the node
controlling the robot in order to request DAS services. The AML PVR is used to communicate with
the ADIC AML.
3.4.3. Manually Mounted Tape
An Operator PVR is used to manage a homogeneous set of manually mounted drives. Tape mount
requests will be displayed on an SSM screen.
3.4.4. Tape Devices
The tape devices/drives supported by HPSS are listed in Table 2.
