VolServ Version 5.1 — 6-00572-01 Page 3 of 14
The following table describes known problems in this release.
Supported Libraries
The following libraries are supported in this release.
NOTE: AIT is not currently supported as a pre-defined media type. At this time, an AIT library
must be configured as an 8mm library.
In previous releases of VolServ, AML libraries with AIT-1 and/or AIT-2 drives may have used either one
of the following DAS/AMU drive type designators:
• DC = AIT-1 and/or AIT-2
• DM = AIT-1 and/or AIT-2
In VolServ release 5.1, due to a change in the AMU software, AML libraries with AIT-1 and/or AIT-2
drives now use the following DAS/AMU drive type designators:
• DC = AIT-3
• DM = AIT-1 and/or AIT-2
