Wouter,

This is an interesting point...
We recently purchased a Tivoli and LTO solution and planned to
use this to backup multiple chambers across a firewall.  It worked
well in tests using TSM v3.7 because we could use client side polling.
Now I'm a little concerned because we purchased LTO as a part of this
solution...

        You need at least TSM V 4.1.3 to have support for LTO devices !!

        When your are sure about this you can use the command (for example) :
        def devclass tape_class devtype=lto format=drive library=ltolib
