I am sponsoring this case for Brian Kuyper. I believe it qualifies for self
review and am marking it closed approved. If anyone disagrees, let me know
and I will change it to a fasttrack.
The new mmsadm(1m) manpage is in the case directory.
Release binding is Minor.

4. Technical Description
Proposal:
Add SDLT 220/320/600 tape drive support to MMS.
The following CRs are used to track this case:
6618271 RFE: Qualify SDLT 220/320 tape drives on SMMS
6618272 RFE: Qualify SDLT 600 tape drive on SMMS
Details:
MMS already supports a number of tape drives and this is a new device
qualification. The existing mmsadm(1m) CLI is already designed to
have new devices added via its existing ``mediatype=type'' option.
Every device type supported by MMS has its own device library. This
change creates three device libraries for the SDLT 220, 320 and
600 library by modifying the inquiry string and the density codes.
The mmsadm command's mediatype option will be adjusted to allow the
new device to be specified.
The manpage's mediatype option will receive the following update:
diff -u mmsadm.1m.txt mms_admnew

+ LTO2, LTO3, LTO4, SDLT1, SDLT2 and DISK. This option
+ is required for create.
An example mmsadm command to specify the SDLT 600 will then be:
# mmsadm create -t voltype -o size=1000 -o mediatype=SDLT2 -l library1 -A ADM

Packaging:
The new libraries will be added to the existing MMS library package,
SUNWmmsu.
