We are about to upgrade our ATL (3494) tape drives from 3592-J1A and 3592-E05 (aka TS1120) to 3592-E06 and 3592-EU6 (aka TS1130). These are the only 3592 drives in the ATL and all are on the same controller.
The TS1130's can only READ EFMT1 but can R/W EFMT2/3. All of our existing 3592 carts are EFMT1. >From what I can tell (from RTFM) I need to set the READCOMPATIBLE attribute for every 3592 volume I have if I expect the TS1130's to be considered for the mount of an EFMT1 tape (otherwise the mount will fail because of no eligible devices). Can anyone confirm/deny that I need to do this. Thanks all.
