Hi Reggie
From the 7.5 Communicator
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01687362/c01
687362.pdf
Hardware and Software Requirements
MPE/iX support of Ultrium 215 and 230 devices is limited to parallel
LVD-SCSI connections only. Thus, these
devices may only be connected to HP e3000 A-Class and N-Class systems
running MPE/iX 7.0 or 7.5 Release.
In addition, patch MPEMXJ3, version "A" for MPE/iX 7.0 or version "B" for
MPE/iX 7.5, must be installed for
the device to be supported. Finally, on 7.0 only, patch MPEMX74 "A" should
also be installed.
Only those HP Ultrium Tape devices sold for use with HP-UX PA-RISC server
systems will be supported.
There are variations in firmware for the many Ultrium devices on the market;
only devices with the firmware
for HP-UX server systems will be supported. More on Firmware below.
Ultrium Tape Usage Requirements
Ultrium devices will only be supported for access/usage by certified 3rd
party supplied back-up products;
certified products are currently limited to:
. BACKUP+/iX (ORBiT Software Inc., http://www.orbitsw.com/ )
. HiBackR (Mount10 Group, http://www.mount10.com/ ).
Ultrium Tape devices are NOT supported for any other traditional MPE/iX tape
functions including, but not
limited to: System boot, SYSGEN, HP Store/Restore, HP TurboStore, general
file system access, user logging,
FCOPY, Sherlock diagnostics, etc. These restriction are in place due to
incompatibilities between MPE/iX
tape usage patterns and Ultrium implementation assumptions which can lead to
unacceptably poor
performance. In most of these cases, there are no actual blocks in place to
prevent using Ultrium;
nevertheless, such usage is NOT supported.
There is one small exception: The program devtool.pub.sys and the command
file devctrl.mpexl.telesup
may be used to load/unload media but it will NOT support turning compression
on/off for Ultrium. HP
Ultrium incorporates "intelligent" compression that prevents attempts to
compress data that is already
compressed so there is no need to explicitly turn device level (hardware)
compression on or off.

Subject: [HP3000-L] LTO drives on HP3000
Would anyone happen to know if LTO and LTO2 drives are supported on 997 and
N-Class servers.
