Actually, that page is slightly misleading. Because StorageTek can equip
their libraries with any vendor LTO drives you may need different driver
and the site specifies only one of them. For STK with IBM LTO drives, OS
native IBM driver should be used. For STK with HP or Seagate drives, TSM
driver should be used. IMO there ought to be two lines - STK w/ IBM and
STK w/ HP/Seagate.
For example when we installed STK L700e at a customer site, we had to
disreagard the "info" for L700, stating TSM driver. The library was with
IBM drives and Atape.driver was the correct choice.

Subject: Re: StorageTek L40 with Generation 2 LTO
To add slightly to what Zlatko advised...
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBM_TSM_Supported_Devices_for_AIXHPSUNWIN.html
specifies the levels and specifics you need. Note that IBM specifies in
RED that
the IBM device driver is needed.
As always, refer to the lastest server README file for such new stuff,
wherein the LTO Generation 2 Support is outlined.
