SCSI Bus Type

Supported

Ultra320 LVD

Yes. This is a recommended configuration for all Ultrium full-height tape drives.
Do not daisy chain Ultrium 1840 or Ultrium 960 tape drives because performance

will be degraded. Up to two Ultrium 460 tape drives may be daisy-chained.

Ultra160 LVD

Yes. This is a recommended configuration for Ultrium 460 tape drives. It is an

acceptable configuration for Ultrium 960 and 1840 tape drives.
Up to two Ultrium 460 tape drives may be daisy-chained. Do not daisy-chain Ultrium

1840 and Ultrium 960 tape drives.

Ultra2 LVD

Yes. This is acceptable for one Ultrium 460 drive per bus, but performance may

be impaired.
Do not use with Ultrium 1840 or 960 tape drives and do not daisy-chain Ultrium

460 tape drives.

Ultra wide

LVD and

single-ended

These are not recommended configurations as they will restrict performance.

Ultra narrow,

single-ended

No. This will severely restrict performance and you will need a suitable cable or

adapter.

High Voltage

Differential

No. The drive will not work and you may damage the drive or controller

How can I check the SCSI bus type and SCSI ID?

For many operating systems, you can install and run HP Library & Tape Tools from either the

HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM or

http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools

to check your server’s

current SCSI configuration (see also

Diagnostic tools

). This will provide information about the SCSI

bus and the SCSI IDs in use.
