Two ways...buy the partitioning license for your i2K and have a separate
logical library for LTO2's and LTO3's

 

:-)

 

Or you can do it based on media type.

 

HCART2 Media (LTO2)

HCART3 Media (LTO3)

 

HCART2 Storage Units 

HCART3 Storage Units

 

NBU will only mount HCART2 media in an HCART2 storage unit and so on.

 

The media can reside in the same volume pool - that won't matter, what
matters is the media type and storage unit type.

        We will be getting an expansion cabinet to our scaler 2000 soon.
At the moment we have LTO-2 drives and tapes. When we add the expansion
cabinet we are also going to add 2 LTO-3 drives with a set of LTO-3
tapes. My question is how do I keep LTO-2 tapes going to LTO-2 drives
while the LTO-3 tapes go only to LTO-3 drives. I suspect a combination
of storage units and tape pools but now that we are at NBU6mp4 expired
tapes just return to the scratch pool which would make them available to
anything.

         

        present setup

         

        W2K3 master/media with sso/ndmp to scaler 2000 (5 tape drives
allowed)

        W2K3 media server sso to scaler 2000 and DSSU (4 tape drives
allowed)

        W2K3 san media server sso to scaler 2000
