IBM Storage Archive LE supports the following IBM® tape libraries:

  • IBM Diamondback Tape Library (IBM LTO 9 and later generation LTO tape drives).
  • IBM TS4500 Tape Library (LTO 5 and later generation LTO tape drives, and TS1140 and later generation 3592 tape drives.)
  • IBM TS4300 Tape Library (LTO 6 and later generation LTO tape drives only).

Please restore support for the TS2900 in storage archive v2.4.8.
While it's understandable that v2.4.8 no longer supports the TS3100, the TS2900 can still accommodate the latest drives.
It seems like the TS2900 was simply removed by mistake, so please continue supporting it.
