Types of STM Tools for Tape Libraries
Table 4-11 shows which types of STM tools are supported on the robotic
and tape drive components of the library.
Not all commands are
supported on all libraries.
NOTE
Within STM, the robotics component of a library is represented with an
icon or text identifier of
SCSI Media Changer
. The tape drive is
represented with an icon or text identifier indicating the type of drive.
