Hi Tab It all depends on which OS you're planning on running. As long as you stick with an OS where there has existed drivers for a long time, there shouldnt be any problems(like AIX, HP/UX, Solaris and Win32/64).
The problem arises when you try to move to a new platform, like Linux. The newly developed drivers doesnt support the 357X-series of hardware anymore. But, as long as you stick with a driver that has been around for some time(like the Atape driver for AIX) there shouldnt be a problem.

Daniel, I just read your message. We have two 3575s, an L12 and an L18. Will they still work properly after we go to TSM 5.2? Thanks. Tab Trepagnier TSM Administrator Laitram, L.L.C.

Hi Sascha It means from, so you shouldnt have any problems using your 3582 under TSM 5.2.2.2. The only tape libraries from IBM that has gone out of support is the 3575-series of libraries. Notice that you will have to download and install the IBM Atape device driver, which you can download from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/AIX.

Hi List ! I just wanted to assure that the IBM 3582 (SCSI)-Library is supported under TSM 5.2.2 (AIX) because "Supported Devices" on IBM-Website tells me: IBM 3582 Ultrium Scalable AIX HPUX SUN WIN The IBM device driver is required. 2 Drives 24 Slots 5.1.6.5 5.1.6.5 5.1.6.5 5.1.6.5 Does this mean that said library is ONLY supported under 5.1.6.5 or is it supported FROM 5.1.6.5 ON ? Thanks for your support ! Sascha Askani
