already have multiple stu's, for another reason....not a problem there.
=20
Thanks to Samuel, I think I got what i needed.....will configure the =
drives and media as different formats ( LTO2 -> HCART2  and LTO3 -> =
HCART3) and create a new storage unit for the HCART3 format.
=20
anyone see a prob with that?

        What version of NetBackup are using? There was a bug in 4.5MP6 that =
didn't allow multiple storage units for a media server from the GUI, you =
can still do it from the command  line.

                Is anyone using multiple tape/tape drive formats in one library 
with a =
single media server?
                =20
                for example:
                =20
                one server, one library
                some LTO2 drives, some LTO3 drives.
                =20
                how do you manage it? can't (from what I can tell) assign each 
type of =
drive to a different storage unit (without a second media server).
                Do you have both types of tapes, and let NBU assign jobs and 
tapes to =
drives as it pleases?
                =20
                I want to avoid my LTO2 tapes being loaded into LTO3 drives and 
being =
written so that they can no longer be used in an LTO2 drive.
                =20
                Also, I'd like to send slower (100mb/s) clients to LTO2 drives, 
and =
GigE clients to LTO3, etc.
                =20
                best way I can see to do that is to add another library for the 
LTO3 =
drives, so that there's a separate storage units with just those drives, =
OR add a second media server, and configure zones to allow each media =
server to only see one type of drive.
                =20
