I suppose you could expand on this method and restrict the pools to the
appropriate drives. I'm sure, with a bit of thought, it could be done
without additional purchases but, the extra functionality you get with
something like AlphaStor is extremely useful.

Stefan,

I have a STK robot with mixed drives : 9840 B and 9940 B. For the backup,
you can create separate pools, one for 9840 tapes and another for 9940. The
problem comes with the restore, Networker will not known where he has to
mount the tape (9840 drive or 9940 ?) To resolve this, you can define
differents Robots in Networker with jbconfig. I have defined one robot for
drives 9840 and another for drives 9940. It works fine. Note that I have
ACSLS Libstat on a mainframe machine for tape mount. If you don't have
ACSLS, I think you have to install Smartmedia.

Regards.

Hi,

I have a STK9710 attached to the Legato Server (6.1.2 WindowsNT) with
DLT7000 drives. I will change some of the 7 drives with SDLT320 drives. Have
anybody experience with mixed media environments?
