What's new in L&TT 4.14
L&TT 4.14 targets:
• New Ethernet access mode for LTO-5 automation drives.
• Increased sensitivity of LTO read margin calculations.
• Removed StorageWorks branding, resulting in a new install location.
Enhancements and fixes in L&TT 4.14
• Tape libraries and autoloaders
LTO 5 automation drives can now be accessed via Ethernet, enabling tickets to be pulled
and tests to be run without the need to install L&TT on the host server. (See “Accessing
◦
HP library LTO-5 and LTO-6 drives over Ethernet” (page 82).) Please be aware of one
known issue that selecting a drive in an ESL-e selection takes 3 minutes. The other library
types select within around 20 seconds. The drives need the very latest LTO-5 firmware to
support this feature.
◦ The 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader and MSL library front panel error messages now match
wording of the support ticket more closely.
