BRU Server Supported Devices
Following is a small sampling of tape drives and libraries (in alphabetical order by manufacturer) that
have been tested under Mac OS X 10.3.9+ and Linux.
Quantum LTO Notice
As of November 1, 2010, all Quantum LTO-4 "Original Drive" SAS drives (view picture) remain unsupported by TOLIS Group, Inc. However, all Quantum LTO-4 SAS "Model B" drives (view picture) are now supported by TOLIS Group with the use of all BRU products. View the drives side-by-side.
It is not possible for any BRU products to properly function with the Quantum LTO-4 SAS "Original Drive". There is nothing that TOLIS Group can do to resolve issues with this drive under Mac OS X. You must contact your hardware provider and request that they exchange it for a Quantum "Model B" LTO-4 drive, replace it with a different manufacturer's LTO-4 device, or upgrade to a any manufacturers LTO-5 tape drive.

HP Tape Drive Note: Older HP LTO-1 Drives are not compatible with
BRU Server on any platform. This is an HP Firmware issue that HP has indicated will not be fixed. Therefore,
the SureStore 215 and 230 drives are not compatible with BRU Server on any platform. The LTO-1 Ultrium 232 and 248 units are compatible.
