OWC Mercury Pro LTO

Getting Started - Mac

Thank you for purchasing the Mercury Pro LTO Thunderbolt 3 LTO archival storage solution. To

use your new Mercury Pro LTO system, you need to install a few pieces of software. If you

need to download the software, please use the links below.

Mercury Pro LTO Drivers and Software

- ATTO SAS HBA Drivers – These drivers are required for your LTO unit to be used with

your computer.

- LTFS Support and Diagnostic Tools – The LTFS tools are required by some third-

party software applications like OWC ArGest Backup. Please check your software requirements

to see if this tool is needed. The Diagnostic Tools are used to check the health of your LTO unit.

Required - ATTO ExpressSAS HBA Drivers

The package within the “ATTO SAS Driver (Install First)” named

macos_kext_esashba4_* allows your Mac system to see and access the Mercury Pro

LTO tape drive properly. As a minimum, you must install this package for the Mercury

Pro LTO unit to be recognized. Installation may require a security authorized step

(dependent on your current system security settings) and will require a system reboot.

NOTE: Catalina and later macOS users: Once the installation completes, do not click the Restart

button when presented. Instead, you should be prompted to allow a system driver extension (kext) from

ATTO.

Open Apple Menu -> System Preferences and select

Security and Privacy.

Make sure that you are on the General tab

and unlock the pane. Click the Allow

button that appears in the lower section of

the pane.

You will then be prompted to reboot your

system - click the “Not Now” button and

close System Preferences. You will be

taken back to the Installer window - click

the “Restart” button there to complete the

installation.

Checking the Status of the Driver Installation

Once the system has rebooted, hold down the OPT key, open the Apple menu and

select “System Information …”

Select the Thunderbolt/USB 4

option in the Navigation List.

The Mercury Pro LTO unit should be

displayed as attached to one of your

Thunderbolt ports.

Select the PCI option in the

Navigation list

You should see the ATTO

ExpressSAS H1244 listed and the

“Driver Installed field should read

“Yes”. If neither of these are correct,

the driver did not get authorized

properly and you will need to return

to the first step.

Finally, select the SAS option in the

Navigation list

The Tape drive will show up in the

information pane as shown above.

Optional - LTFS Support Packages

If you will be using a backup app that depends on LTFS support for operation, the next

installation will be the 2 packages in the LTFS Tools folder.

The packages should be installed in this order:

• ICUFramework

• macFUSE

• ltfssde

During the installation of these components, you will be prompted as in the

ExpressSAS kext above by the macOS gatekeeper to allow the MacFuSE extension to

be enabled in Security and Privacy System Preferences. Follow the steps as outlined

for the ATTO SAS driver above to enable the MacFuSE extension.

You will once again be required to reboot your system to enable this extension.

Optional - Tape and ATTO Diagnostic Tools

For checking on the health of your Mercury Pro LTO tape device, you should not

depend on errors reported by your backup application. Instead, we have provided the

appropriate tape diagnostic tools in the Install Packages DMG - in this case the IBM

“ITDT” package.

Also included with the “ATTO SAS Drivers” folder in the ATTO Config Tool package.

This package is used for troubleshooting the ATTO HBA and to under the HBA

firmware version. It is not required for normal operations of the Mercury Pro LTO.
