Open xosevp opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

  • Latest Oracle LTFS version is based on HP's LTFS 2.2.1 & IBM's LTFS 2.2.0.2 releases: https://oss.oracle.com/projects/ltfs/files/source/OELS_LTFS_1.2.7_source/

( To get the code of the subversion repo: svn co https://oss.oracle.com/projects/ltfs/src )

It supports Oracle(Sun/StorageTek) T10000C and T10000D tape drives. T10000E is also included, but it was not released as final product: https://oss.oracle.com/projects/ltfs/src/trunk/ltfs-1.2.7/src/tape_drivers/linux/orcltape/orcltape_supdevs.h

   { "T10000C         ", drivefamily_lto,     "STK T10000C"        },
   { "T10000D         ", drivefamily_lto,     "STK T10000D"        },
  • Latest HPE code(HPE_StoreOpen_Software_3.4.2_Source_Z7550-02501.tar.gz) (unofficial repo: https://github.com/nix-community/hpe-ltfs)

It supports HP DAT160 and DAT320 tape drives: https://github.com/nix-community/hpe-ltfs/blob/f909474d71deb0e6a7abc71fd47c16a78b9c1eb0/ltfs/src/tape_drivers/osx/ltotape/ltotape_supdevs.h#L48-L49

   { "DAT320          ", drivefamily_dat,     "HP DAT320",		   drive_dat   	},
   { "DAT160          ", drivefamily_dat,     "HP DAT160",		   drive_dat   	},

Thanks.

As I said multiple times, I have only IBM drives on my bench. So I hesitate to add the new H/Ws to the list easily.

If someone who can contribute the code or test (mainly test on the real drives), I can work with him.

Please refer https://github.com/LinearTapeFileSystem/ltfs/issues/219 for first Quantum support.

Nobody expects you to do that job personally. These are references, in case anyone wants to help.

BTW, I also added HP DATxx. And other bug for TANDBERG LTO drives.

Thank you.
