4. Technical Description
I am sponsoring this case for Paul Cheng.  I believe it qualifies for self
review and am marking it closed approved.  If anyone disagrees, let me know
and I will change it to a fasttrack.

The new mmsadm(1m) manpage is in the case directory.

Release binding is Minor.

4. Technical Description
Proposal:

	Add STK 9940 tape drive support to MMS.

	The following CR is used to track this case:
	6747804 add STK 9940 tape drive support to MMS

Details:

	MMS already supports a number of tape drives and this is a new device
	qualification.  The existing mmsadm(1m) CLI is already designed to
	have new devices added via its existing ``mediatype=type'' option.
	
        A 9940 tape drive behaves like a 9840 tape drive, which is supported
	by MMS.  Every device type supported by MMS has its own device
	library.  This change creates two device libraries for T9940A and
	T9940B from a 9840 library by modifying the inquiry string and the
	density codes.

	The mmsadm command's mediatype option will be adjusted to allow the
	new device to be specified.

	The manpage's mediatype option will receive the following update:

          mediatype=type
 
              One of the media types supported by  MMS.  Supported
-             types  are  9840,  LTO1,  LTO2, LTO3, LTO4 and DISK.
+             types  are  9840, 9940, LTO1,  LTO2, LTO3, LTO4 and
+             DISK.
              This option is required for create.
 

	An example mmsadm command to specify the 9940 will then be:

# mmsadm create -t voltype -o size=1000 -o mediatype=9940 -l library1 -A ADM ABC123
		


Packaging:

	The new libraries will be added to the existing MMS library package,
	SUNWmmsu.

	/usr/lib/mms/dm/libSTK_T9940B.so.1
