Re: [Veritas-bu] LTO4 Media Type
We currently have a lot of investment in LTO3 Drives and Tapes and moving forward with LTO4. Is there a way we can se LTO4 Media Type to be different than HCART3 in Netbackup? Yes, call it whatever you want. Either manually or with barcode rules, bring your new LTO4 media in as hcart. Make your LTO4 drives also hcart. If your LTO3 drives and LTO3 media are both hcart3, NetBackup will only put hcart3 tapes in hcart3 drives, hcart into hcart, 8mm into 8mm... The problem is that if you have only 1 scratch pool. Mixing LTO-3 and LTO-4 can cause you some grief. Unless I'm having a memory parity error--always possible--I used to run 5.x (at least, probably earlier), a scratch pool and two drive types with corresponding media. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Okay, thanks! But, that skipped a question: have you opened a case with Symantec about the tuning question?

That way they can read (and write) to your older tapes. If you're going to be mixing drives in your robot, then you'll have to assign a new density to them so that LTO4 tapes aren't inserted into the older drives. -- Darren ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
