Hi Patty,

Some hints about your migration : (I suppose your ADSM runs under AIX)

Be sure to use the DLT35C format for your tapes.
Be sure to have a recent microcode version downloaded to your drives :
        V95 seems to be the right one at the moment

Be sure to have the latest  bos.devices.scsi.tape driver

Subject:        upgrade from DLT4000 to DLT7000 tape library

If we need to upgrade:
From Breece Hill Q2.15 DLT 4000s of 2 drives
to Breece Hill Q4.30 DLT 7000s of 4 drives
Use DLT type IV tape for both

Should the ADSM work involved to make this transition be just
re-configuring
the library, drives and device class and type IV tapes used on DLT4000
should be readable by new DLT7000?

Can somebody give me any comments if there is anything I miss in this
transition? Thanks a lot!

Patty
