HP LTO Tape driv
er
The HP LTO Tape d
river must be installed to allow your system to recognize the Ultrium devices created by
the HP D 2 D Backup System.
Tape drivers can be installed from the drivers directory on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM, where they
are supplied as an installer application and as driver files for manual installation. Also check the H P
website for dr
iver updates at w
ww.hp.com/support.
The tape drive is reported to your backup application (and Windows Device Manager) as an LTO-3
device. This is the default behavior of the tape drive and there is no need and no way to change it on
the HP D2D Backup System. It is important not to confuse emulation type with cartridge size. Emulation
type is totally independent from cartridge size. The HP D2D Backup System allows you to pick whatever
cartridgesizeyoulike(upto800GB).
In earlier versions of the HP D2D Backup System firmware, the tape d rive was reported as an LTO-2
device. Onc
e you upgrade to the latest version of the firmware, the backup application continues to
identify ex
isting backup devices as LTO-2 and identifies new tape devices as LTO-3, but this has absolutely
no impact o
n how the device behaves or functions. If you delete existing devices (LTO-2) and cre ate
new ones; the new ones will be LTO-3.
Medium changer d river
No additional medium changer driver is required because Microsoft Windows provides a suitable
generic driver and all backup applications provide their own changer drivers.
