I may be wrong, but the only way I know to divide media is by device class, so 
I do not think you can do it in 1 library with 1 drive type.
Why the concern about using 1 pool of media for both primary and copy?  DRM 
will take care of what tapes go where.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM V6 tape labels

Dear All :



I am implementing a TSM V6 EE on AIX with IBM TS3200 with 4 x LTO5 drive.
Is it any easy way that I can use different LTO-barcode labeling scheme for
primary and copy pool ?



My concerns is : DRM will be implement to handle offsite tape cycling, when
offsite tape media back to the Tape library; it shall become "scratch" type.
So I concerns those tape may be reused by the primary pool.  So it seems
that cannot use different tape labeling scheme for primary and copy pool..



e.g. BON000 ~ BON999 label will be used for primary pool tape media;  BOF000
~ BOF999 labels will be used for all copypool..



Best regards,

Victor Shum
