16 Library Connection (SNMP or SCI)
Depending on the library model, STA uses SNMP (SL150, SL500, SL3000, SL8500) or SCI (SL4000) to connect to the tape libraries in your system.
Note:
STA does not support drives with duplicate serial numbers connected to the same STA server. For example, IBM LTO8 and LTO9 drives that share the same serial number. Ensure that you do not use duplicate drive serial numbers between the libraries connected to STA.
