5.7. Supported Tape Drives
If you intend to use the tape backup capabilities of the SME Server V5 with ServiceLink, you must have a tape drive that will work
with a Linux system.
We believe that most SCSI tape drives and many IDE tape drives will work correctly. Unfortunately, the popular OnStream tape
drives do not at the current time work with Red Hat Linux version 7.1, and hence are not supported by your SME Server V5 with
ServiceLink.
We have tested the following tape drives and know that they work with the SME Server V5 with ServiceLink:
Table 5-9. Supported SCSI Tape Drives
Vendor Model Revision Format
HP HP35470A T603 DAT
SONY SDX-300C 0400 AIT
Table 5-10. Supported ATA (IDE) Tape Drives
Vendor Model Revision Format
Seagate STT20000A 8A51
We have tested and verified that the following tape drives do not work with the SME Server V5 with ServiceLink:
Table 5-11. Unsupported ATA (IDE) Tape Drives
Vendor Model Revision Format
OnStream DI-30 ADR
If you do not have one of the supported drives listed above you may want to check with http://hardware.redhat.com/ for information
about how well that drive will work with Red Hat Linux 7.1.
Note: If your tape drive is not listed at Red Hat’s site, you can visit http://www.linuxtapecert.org/ to see if your tape drive vendor is
participating with that tape drive certification effort. Be aware that some of the solutions developed to get certain tape drives to
work with Linux may require kernel modifications and only be attempted by experienced developers. Please consult your Mitel
Networks Corporation service representative for more information.
