LTO1 and LTO2 in one Library
Hi, we plan to install LTO-Drives (LTO-Generation 2) in our IBM3584 which is know using only LTO1. Does anybody have an idea how this works? Must I define separate libraries? Does anybody have experiece with such a configuration? regards winfried

Re: LTO1 and LTO2 in one Library
You have two options: - partition your 3584, first partition with LTO1, second with LTO2 - wait for ITSM 5.2 (comes in April). It ought to provide this within a single library (AFAIK).

Re: LTO1 and LTO2 in one Library
Winfried -- >From the README.SRV for the 5.1.6.2 server: TSM now includes support for the second generation of LTO hardware. This support was introduced at 5.1.6.1 and is supported by any level released later; however, any attempt to use LTO2 devices on a lower level than 5.1.6.1 is not supported. Upgrading from LTO to LTO2 devices: When migrating from LTO to LTO2 devices, you need to follow one of the set of steps below: - If you are maintaining both generations simultaneously, LTO gen1 and LTO gen2, then you need to logically partition your library such that the drives of these two generations are disjoint. - If you are upgrading all your drives to LTO gen2, then 1. Delete all your old LTO gen1 drive definitions as well as any paths associated with these old drive definitions. 2. Define the new LTO2 drives and paths associated with the new hardware. NOTE: LTO gen2 drives are backwards read compatible as well as backwards write compatible. Therefore, you do NOT need to mark your LTO gen1 media as "read only".
