Bobby,
How do you mange the different tapes once they are in the library? Do you start the tapes in the pool that you would use them in instead of the scratch pool? I am assuming that the LTO2 media is not appropriate for all your jobs. Do you have both LTO2 and LTO3 drives in the same library? Do you use LTO2 media in LTO3 drives?

If you define them at HCART2, they show as HCART2. If you define them as HCART, then they show as HCART. You have to define them as the same media type as you defined the LTO-3 tape drives. That must be different from the LTO-2 tape drives. The biggest headache is that unless you started out using the last 2 digits of the bar code in your tape label names, you can not make a bar code that will distinguish between LTO-2 and LTO-3 media. The first time that you inject a new piece of media that is not set as your default media in your bar code rule, you will have to over-ride the media type. Bobby. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Adams, Dwayne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, Quick question. .. Does anyone use LTO2 and LTO3 media in the same library because of a mandate from management? Are there any gotchas? Does LTO3 media still appear as HCART2? Thanks in advance. Dwayne Adams
