Hello,
Have Neo4000 and my experience was, that HP LTO3 were not supported below
5.3.x (at the time only 5.2.6.x were available, so maybe in 5.2.7 it
works)
Adding additional module - I had to delete and re-define library again in
TSM (takes < 10 minutes - recommend to write a TSM script for it)
Seen this both on Win2k3 and Linux
are you going to use LTO2/3 drives mixed? beware on mixing media types in
such case .... as you do not mount LTO3 tape to LTO2 drive ....
Hope it helps
Harry
