For the current firmware levels for libraries, library interfaces, 
and tape drives supported by AMASS, refer to the Release 
Notes.

For the current tape drive features, refer to the Release Notes.

The entry for each storage device in this book describes:

•

Specific loading and unloading instructions

•

Specific AMASS inlet and outlet commands
These commands are connection-dependent
SCSI-attached devices use 

volinlet

 and 

voloutlet

 

commands and network-attached devices use 

bulkinlet

 

and 

bulkoutlet

 commands.

Even though you can manually insert media, you must use the 
specified inlet and outlet commands to make sure the AMASS File 
System Database keeps tracks of the media.

AMASS assumes a compressed capacity of 2:1 ratio, but some 
newer drives may have a compressed capacity of 3:1. 
Consequently, the capacity displayed by the 

vollist

 command 

after a 

volformat

 will currently show a 2:1 native GB capacity.
