Or use the latest firmware for the TS3500. If you want/need to go to a version 8.x firmware you have to have ALMS. Version 7.x is the latest for without ALSM. With the Version 8.x you get the builtin CIMOM agent if you want to use the TPC to monitor/report on your TS3500(s).

ALMS is required if you use the new high density frames. These can provide three times the tape density as the normal frames. ALMS is needed to automatically manage which tapes are located in which slots, keeping the most frequently used tapes in the most readily accessible physical slots. Another advantage of the virtualization that ALMS provides. ..Paul At 08:50 PM 8/17/2009, Alex Paschal wrote: >Hi, David. > >TS3500 libraries do not require ALMS for LTO encryption as long as there >are no non-encryption-capable LTO drives mixed in. >-----Original Message----- >From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of >David Longo >Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 2:58 PM >To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU >Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] ALMS benefit to shared-library management ? > >As I understand it, ALMS IS required if you implement Encryption >for LTO4 tapes/drives on a 3584 library, is that true? >David Longo -- Paul Zarnowski Ph: 607-255-4757 Manager, Storage Services Fx: 607-255-8521 719 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-3801 Em: p...@cornell.edu
