* DLT customers: ADIC recommends that you enable the Tape Streaming feature. Using tape streaming
I/O eliminates start/stop cycles on these drives, which leads to better tape handling. For instructions on
configuring AMASS for tape streaming, refer to the Optional Parameters appendix in Installing AMASS.
Note 1: If a 3590 OR 3592 drive is installed in an IBM 3494 library, automatic drive cleaning by
AMASS is not supported because the library has its own internal drive cleaning capabilities.
Note 2: If a DLT or StorageTek 9840 or 9940 drive is installed in a StorageTek 97xx or Lxx library,
automatic drive cleaning by AMASS is not supported because the library has its own internal drive
cleaning capabilities.
