Hi Gurus
does ISM supports IBM Ultrim LTO (3580), if so let me know ASAP, what
media type i should choose.

thanx

The devices that ISM supports are on page 3-3 of the ISM Guide:

Half-inch magnetic tape drives
Quarter-inch cartridge tape drives
Four-millimeter (DAT) tape drives
Eight-millimeter tape drives
Eight-millimeter five-gigabyte tape drives
3480 tape drives
3570 tape drives
4890 tape drives
9490 Timberline tape drives
Digital linear tape drives
Filesystem
Optical disk drives
VHS tape drives

Hope this helps.

Im no guru but im switching from TSM to ISM and Im doing sme testing
using my 3583 library which has 3580s in it. I insert the tapes
manually but I use a script to get them out. They work well - When you
../ism_add -device you need just se anything else as type ie I use LTO.
Heres the script I use to get them out...

#!/usr/bin/ksh

LOGICAL=/dev/rmt4.1
DATA1=/dev/rmt1.1
DATA2=/dev/rmt2.1

DLT1=/dev/rmt4
LTO1=/dev/rmt1
LTO2=/dev/rmt2

INFORMIX_BIN=/informix/DEV/bin/ism_op
TAPEUTIL_BIN=/usr/bin/tapeutil

echo "Unmounting logical log tape on $DLT from the ISM"
su - informix -c ${INFORMIX_BIN} -unmount ${LOGICAL}
echo "Unloading logical log tape from $DLT"
tctl -f ${DLT1} offline
echo "It is now safe to remove the tape from $DLT"

echo "Unmounting $LTO1 from the ISM"
su - informix -c ${INFORMIX_BIN} -unmount ${DATA1}
echo "Unmounting $LTO2 from the ISM"
su - informix -c ${INFORMIX_BIN} -unmount ${DATA2}

echo "Unloading tape from $LTO1"
${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/rmt1 rewoffl
${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/smc0 move -s 256 -d 16
echo "Unload the tape from the Library I/O station"
echo "Press enter when you are done."
read WAITING
echo "Unloading tape from $LTO2"
${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/rmt2 rewoffl
${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/smc0 move -s 257 -d 16
echo "You may now unload the tape from the Library I/O station."
exit 0

There may be better ways to do it, but this works for testing... Ill
be adding two external 3580 Ultrium2 drives once Im finished testing..

I meant to say DLT for type...
