Hi all,

we have a 3575 library where only a few scratchtapes are left. Checking out
tapes
from a longtime archive or moving clients to an other server is not possible.
The
library is completely filled with 5 GB Magstar B-Format tapes.
To gain more space i now want to checkout scratchtapes and replace them by
7 GB Magstar C-Format XL tapes. And that every time an old 5 GB tape becomes
a scratchtape.
Is it possible to mix different tapes in one library? Do i have to create a new
device
class for the new tapes or is it enough to leave the Est./Max capacity option
open
in the old device class? Does setting this option to 5 GB mean that a 7 GB tape
will
only be filled up to 5 GB?

Thanks for your advice,
Gisbert Schneider
