Tape Library
Natively, Nodeum supports and manages tape library as secondary storage. It uses the LTFS open format specifications (2.4.0) to write data on magnetic tapes.
Barcode Tape management capabilities are supported for Fiber Channel - SAS Tape Library
Nodeum seamlessly integrates with a variety of Tape Libraries and Tape Drives.
It automates tape library management through SCSI over Fiber Channel or an ACSLS server.
For tape drive connectivity, it supports both Fiber Channel and SAS. The default tape format is LTO, starting from LTO5.
