Bill,
This is not in direct answer to your question, but I ran into a problem
with HP LTO3 drives. I have assumed you are replacing the old HP drives
with new HP drives.
Take a look at IC49307, you may need to incorporate a server upgrade if
you encounter this problem.
Also take a look at this URL for supported f/w releases for the drives.

Hi,
We are about to replace our all HP LTO-2 tape drives by LTO-3,
in our NEO 4000 library.
My question is, seeing the new drives can read and write both LTO-2
and LTO-3 media, can any given existing tapepool be made up of
both LTO-2 and LTO-3 media ?
My problem is that I don't have enough tape slots in the library and
don't want to introduce a large number of LTO-3 tapes in one go.
Also a few of our LTO-2 tapes are fairly new and it would be a shame
to write them off.

Thanks
Bill
