2183.0. "STORAGETEK TimberWolf 9714 LIbrary with SLS ?" by PRSSOS::FONDI () Tue Jan 28 1997 09:27

  A customer has an Alphaserver 8400 with KFTIA-AA (3 SCSI FWD, 1 SCSI SE)
  running V6.2

  He wants to use the  Robot (named TimberWolf 9714 LIbrary) with SLS.
  This library may have up to 6 DLT4000 units, and the interface robot is 
  compliant SCSI-2.

 questions?
 ----------
1 Does DCSC always necessary to support this type of Robot, or does
  MDMS sufficient because the interface robot, in this case, is SCSI-2 FW
  compliant.
  
2 what is the SLS version to use V2.8 /V2.8-2-1 /2.8A ?    
 


    thank You,
    Henri.

        MDMS supports the Storagetek family of silos only through the
        DCSC software interface.  The 4400 is the only silo that has
        been thoroughly tested with SLS/MDMS.  Other silos (e.g. Wolfcreek,
        Timberwolf) should work assuming they emulate the 4400 exactly.

> 2 what is the SLS version to use V2.8 /V2.8-2-1 /2.8A ?    

	Few changes have been made to MDMS in recent releases that
	would effect these silos; check Release Notes.  V2.8A is the 
        current release.

Hope this helps,
Marty
