Compatibility with Power Systems
The IBM 3573 8145 LTO4 Ultrium 4 Full-High Tape Drive (95P5819) is compatible with IBM TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries, supporting Power Systems for enterprise backup and data archiving in various business environments. This IBM tape drive integrates seamlessly with systems requiring robust data protection and long-term archiving for critical workloads, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of enterprise applications and configurations:
- IBM i (6.1 with 6.1.1 machine code or later via VIOS 2.2.1.4), AIX (5.3 or later), Linux (RHEL 5, SLES 10 or later) for versatile platform support.
- Power Systems models with 3Gb SAS adapters (e.g., 5802, 5901): 8202-E4B, 8205-E6B, 8233-E8B, 8286-41A, 8286-42A, 9117-MMB, 9119-MHE, optimized for tape backup and recovery tasks.
- Requires TS3100 (3573-L2U, 1 FH drive) or TS3200 (3573-L4U, up to 2 FH drives); supports intermixing with LTO3, LTO5, LTO6 drives for flexible tape library configurations.
Note: IBM i requires VIOS for connectivity; requires SAS cables (e.g., #5402, #5507) ordered separately.
