Got some info from ATL:
- since you refer to multiple systems, I presume you're interested in an OSN Fibre Channel solution; the M1500 is not yet certified under that program, but ATL is pursuing it and we *may* likely see the M1500 with FC310 FC to SCSI bridge certified under NetApp's OSN program in the OCT/NOV timeframe.
- if instead you are looking for a SCSI solution, then your issue is with the LTO drives; here's what ATL had to say there:
<<snip>> NetApp now offers support in Data ONTAP for IBM LTO only. We expect HP support around November 1st. So until then we are dead in the water on M1500 with LTO for NetApp, though P Series libraries with IBM drives are okay.
<<end snip>>
Hope this helps. Joe

Email address indicates this guy is in Malaysia, maybe? Don't know if you have a channel partner who can help this guy, but perhaps you can forward to the appropriate Program Manager who can speak to the status of NetApp OSN certification for the M1500 (I'm only familiar with certified configs for P1K/2K/3K/6K).
Hope all is well. Joe

Check the NOW site and it is not listed as supported library.
Currently looking into the M1500 LTO Drives for a few systems. Has anybody got any success in implementing this library for the filer?

Stop. That's not true. You can use the /etc/cloned_tapes file to have the HP LTO drive emulate an IBM LTO drive. The same works also for the Seagate LTO drives.

OK , I stuck my foot in my mouth. Sorry. Found out that this will work for the Seagate LTO's but not the HP LTO. HP LTO have different incompatible compression algorithms .
