I have a tape library with several LTO5 tape drives.  I have 3 tape pools and a 
scratch pool.  Pool1 is quite large and has most of the jobs.  The jobs are in 
a fairly standard, monthly FULL, weekly DIFFERENTIAL, and daily INCREMENTAL 
schedule.  The FULL backups are fairly evenly divided across 1st-4th Saturdays 
and are quite large (multiple TBs).  Pools 2 & 3 are smaller as are the jobs.  
The issue that I am trying to solve is to have at least one tape drive 
available for Pools 2 & 3 that Pool1 doesn't use.  It appears that the only way 
to do this is to use a different media type for Pools 2 & 3 and for any of the 
tape drives that I want reserved.  Of course this would mean that Pools 2 & 3 
would not be able to share the Scratch pool?  Is anyone using multiple scratch 
pools or is that possible?
