Hello,

I am running out of tape slots on my Neo 4000  and I need  to approach
the boss regarding an upgrade.

I have two upgrade options in mind.

1) Add a library expansion module to increase  the number of slots by 60.
    The question here is -   Is  this purely an hardware upgrade which the

    hardware engineer performs and TSM automatically sees the extra slots?


2) Replace the four existing LTO-2 tape drives with LTO-3 drives and buy a
    few more tapes.
    Any TSM actions here to get the LTO-3 drives to work  ?

Current setup
TSM Server 5.2.2.0 for Windows
Library Overland Neo 4000 with 58 slots.
Library type SCSI
Four LTO-2 tape drives

Many Thanks

Bill
