Hi,
        I am installing new systems and traditionally would have converted my 
rmt devices to mt TSM devices.  Is this now a legacy activity to perform?

We are using LTO Ultrium 6 drives and whilst interrogating the rmt device I can 
see a lot more tuneable attributes than when converted to mt device and using 
the TSM devices.

lsattr -El mt61
