Patra:SAS Tape Problem

We would like TSM to supoort SAS Tape. TSM detect TS3100 as LTO device class but TSM detect SAS tape as GENERIC. So we can't restore data with different device class.

SAS Tape Model:7216-1U2
IBM Multi-media Enclosure
- DAT160 SAS Tape Drive
- HHLTO5 SAS Tape Drive

    While consistent with our current product direction, we cannot at this time commit to delivery of this enhancement in the next release or two.  If,
    after our next release of TSM, you still would like this requirement to be re-considered, please reopen it in RFE and we will again consider it. Thank you
    for your commitment to TSM and for your support in moving the product forward.
