Data Protection - Supported Devices

Please note: Newer platforms could require later versions of Data ONTAP than are listed here for each device. For more information about supported tape devices, consult your sales representative or the sysconfig guide on the NOW site: now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/hardware/NetApp/syscfg/ (password required). If the tape device of interest is in a tape library, please refer to the bottom of this page for additional information.

Fibre Channel Libraries
Many libraries with fibre channel interfaces employ a combination of fibre tape devices and/or SCSI tape devices. If the library is supported by NetApp with a particular tape device , then devices listed as SCSI in the matrix above are also supported when accessed via the fibre channel interface of the library. If a fibre channel interface library is supported via switch attachment, it is also supported without a switch. If the devices in the library attach directly to the storage appliance (i.e. not through a bridge device in the library) then only the interfaces in the matrix are supported.

SCSI Libraries
The SCSI specification is supported by Netapp filers, so any library product that conforms with the SCSI specification will function with your filer. However, check with your backup software vendor for compatibility lists of the libraries/devices they support.
