Redbook Abstract
The IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Libraries Guide, SG24-5946-00
  Abstract
This IBM Redbook is intended for anyone who would like to understand more about the Linear Tape-Open technology specification, how it came about, and also the IBM implementation of that specification. It is suitable for IBM clients, business partners, as well as IBM specialist sales representatives and technical specialists. Those with no background in computer tape storage products may need to reference other sources of information; in the interest of being concise, topics that are generally understood (in the opinion of the writers) are not covered in detail.

In addition to the description of Linear Tape-Open, the reader will find technical information about configuring the IBM Ultrium products and how to set them up in either stand alone environments or with backup and recovery software applications.

The book also covers SCSI connections, multipath configurations, and tape technology comparisons with market positioning.
