Abstract The Installation and User's Guide provides user information and installation assistance for IBM tape drive, medium changer, and library device drivers. Content The IBM tape and medium changer device drivers are designed specifically to take advantage of the features provided by the IBM tape drives and medium changer devices. The goal is to give applications access to the functions required for basic tape functions (such as backup and restore) and medium changer operations (such as cartridge mount and demount as well as to the advanced functions needed by full tape management systems. Whenever possible, the driver is designed to take advantage of the device features transparent to the application. Please note that some independent software vendor ( ISV) applications have certain device driver requirements. Before you install the device drivers, please refer to the ISV web site or their support to find out what device drivers should be used for the ISV.
