VTL LTO7 - iBMi

We have recently installed a new DataDomain. This DD now supports LTO7 tapes (Virtual tapes)

When creating a new VTL, when choosing IBM-LTO-7 for drive, our choices for changer can be one of the following:

L180, RESTORER_L180, TS3500, i2000, i6000, DDVTL

Does anyone know which of these choices are compatible with iBMi Power series? I have tried L180 (the "default") and TS3500, but the iBMi team is reporting that they cannot get the (virtual) tapes any larger than 4tb. I just want to make sure that we are providing the iBMi Power team with the optimum configuration from the Data Domain perspective

Also, if anyone has any tips/tricks to offer in regard to iBMi Power series and DD VTL's, it would be much appreciated

Changer:

There can be only one changer per VTL.
Often, the changer model you should select depends on your specific configuration:
- Use the RESTORER-L180 library emulation when using Symantec Backup software
- Use the TS3500 library emulation when using IBM System i platform
- You can also use the TS3500 library emulation when using TeraSAM 6.2 on AIX 6.1 and AIX 5.3 platforms.
- Most other installations should use the L180 library emulation (non-Symantec, non-IBM system i
