Library hardware requirements
EML and ESL E-Series tape libraries shipped before November 2007 may require a RAM upgrade
to be TapeAssure capable. This upgrade is customer installable and can be ordered as HP part
number 464581-001 from the HP Parts Store (http://www.hp.com/buy/parts) or PartSurfer (http://
partsurfer.hp.com). After replacing the part using the included instructions, remove and re-add the
library on the Command View TL Launcher window.
Other requirements
Command View TL version 2.8 includes support for the ESL G3 tape drives and library.
Command View TL version 2.6 and later includes TapeAssure support for MSL G3 and 1/8 G2
tape drives (LTO Utrium 1840 and later) and Standalone SCSI and SAS tape drives (LTO Ultrium
960 and later). MSL G3 and 1/8 G2 support is enabled through that library's remote management
interface. The Standalone TapeAssure Service requires a Windows agent downloadable from
http://www.hp.com/go/tapeassure. Additional documentation can be found at that website.
