You'll have to upgrade to at least 5.2.7.0 to get support for LTO3 drives.
With other libraries, adding expansion is just as simple as shutting everything
down, adding the capacity and bringing it back up
again. I've done this several times on 3583, 3584 and the new TS33xx libraries.
After Winders and the drivers reboot, TSM sees the
additional capacity. Just SHOW SLOTS <library> to verify. You may need to run
an AUDIT LIBRARY if the SCSI ID's of the tape slots
change. I do this first thing anyway.

Subject: Running out of Tape Slots in Library
Importance: High
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
