Looking for help and advice for the following issue since the ONTAP upgrade

FAS8020 supporting IBM LTO8 HH drives since the ONTAP upgrade please?

Does ONTAP v9 onwards, support IBMLTO8 HH Drives.

I have just connected the new tape library with 6 drives and found this nonqualified device listed under supported-status...

netapp-c2-01::> storage tape show-supported-status

Tape Drives Supported Support Status "IBM ULT3580-HH8 " false Nonqualified

Our current version is:- NetApp Release 9.3P10

Can anyone please advise
