Preface<br />

This <strong>IBM</strong> Redbook is a follow-on to The <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Ultrium</strong> Tape Libraries Guide,<br />

SG24-5946, and will help you plan, install and configure <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Ultrium</strong> <strong>LTO</strong> tape<br />

drives and libraries in UNIX environments. It focuses on the setup and<br />

customization of these drives and libraries in both direct-attached SCSI and SAN<br />

configurations for the AIX, Solaris and HP-UX operating systems.<br />

The first part of the book describes how to attach and configure the drives and<br />

libraries and covers basic installation and administration. The second part<br />

documents how to use the hardware <strong>with</strong> popular data backup applications —<br />
