Re: upgrade from DLT4000 to DLT7000 tape library

Hi Patty,
Some hints about your migration : (I suppose your ADSM runs under AIX)
Be sure to use the DLT35C format for your tapes.
Be sure to have a recent microcode version downloaded to your drives :
V95 seems to be the right one at the moment
Be sure to have the latest bos.devices.scsi.tape driver

Subject: upgrade from DLT4000 to DLT7000 tape library
If we need to upgrade:
From Breece Hill Q2.15 DLT 4000s of 2 drives
to Breece Hill Q4.30 DLT 7000s of 4 drives
Use DLT type IV tape for both
Should the ADSM work involved to make this transition be just
re-configuring
the library, drives and device class and type IV tapes used on DLT4000
should be readable by new DLT7000?
Can somebody give me any comments if there is anything I miss in this
transition? Thanks a lot!
Patty
