Hi ADSM-L, I have a question related to Spectrum Protect support of the STK SL4000 and ACSLS.
We currently have a pair of STK SL3000s managed with ACSLS, and a single SP library manager for the two of them for some other SP servers. We're planning on upgrading the SL3000s to SL4000s, but it's unclear whether IBM supports ACSLS with the SL4000s. In this device support matrix: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/716987 the SL3000 is listed twice, once in the LTO section and once in the ACSLS section, while the SL4000 is *only* listed in the LTO section. Does this mean the SL4000 is only support with the native lb (FC/SCSI) driver, or is it just an oversight that it's not listed in the ACSLS section as well? I've asked both Oracle and IBM this question, but thought I'd pose this question here as well in case there's anyone in the field that can report that it actually does work. My technical instincts say it should be fine since SP only sees ACS IDs for the libraries and drives, and has no knowledge of the underlying hardware, but don't want to get to the end of the hardware upgrade and be left with some esoteric incompatibility.
