*Requires a Dell PowerVault™ TL4000 library configured with at least two LT05 Half Height drives; two

homogeneous LT04 drives are needed in the same partition to support full path failover.

**lf only one LT04 SAS drive is installed in the library or in the partition, data path failover only is

supported.

Basic Environment Configuration Requirements

There are some basic configuration environments that are required in order to support the failover

feature available in the Dell PowerVault™ TL2000/TL4000 library. Refer to table below for full details

Important Notes:

Mixed drive generations are not recommended; however, if a library contains mixed generation drives

in a single partition, and failover is a desired configuration, you must follow the LT05 environment

configuration requirements and the library must contain only LT04 media for backups.

Failover is supported with a single LT04 SAS drive installed in the TL4000 library or in a single library

partition; however, only data path failover can be configured.

Two homogeneous LT04 drives are required in the same library partition to support full path failover.
