question you change type in the volDB to match the available SU?, i.e.=20
if you want to do restore from a tape that is marked as type DLT2 and =
the UNIT did not exist, can you=20
change the volDB info to reflect its now a DLT3 to match the currently =
available SU with type DLT3?

No problem with that.  That's the right way. =20
=20
By the way, LTO3=3D=3DHCART3 is just a convenience.  There's no =
coorelation between the "3"'s in those names.  You could configure them =
as HCART (or DLT2) for all Netbackup cares.  NB just matches the type in =
the VolDB with the type on the STU.

        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
                        =20
