Research direction
Start by comparing the Oracle orcltape_supdevs.h entries for T10000C and T10000D with the project's tape-driver device tables, and review the HPE ltotape_supdevs.h entries for DAT160 and DAT320. Done means the four named drives are recognized consistently with the existing drive-family mappings; verify this with the project's available drive-detection or device-support checks.
