Re: Changing configuration to use 4 drives

Ken,
delete the upgraded drives and define them again. Set access to all tapes
in FILLING state to READONLY.
Background: ADSM internally keeps record of all drives and tapes of beeing
of type B or E. ADSM still thinks, that the old drives are of type B, until
you redefine them. It will not mount a type E tape on a type B drive. It
will also not mount a type B tape on a type E drive for writing, therefore
the FILLING tapes should be set READONLY until they are empty.
