What version of NetBackup are using? There was a bug in 4.5MP6 that didn't =
allow multiple storage units for a media server from the GUI, you can still=
 do it from the command  line.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] multiple tape format in one library??????


Is anyone using multiple tape/tape drive formats in one library with a sing=
le media server?
=20
for example:
=20
one server, one library
some LTO2 drives, some LTO3 drives.
=20
how do you manage it? can't (from what I can tell) assign each type of driv=
e to a different storage unit (without a second media server).
Do you have both types of tapes, and let NBU assign jobs and tapes to drive=
s as it pleases?
=20
I want to avoid my LTO2 tapes being loaded into LTO3 drives and being writt=
en so that they can no longer be used in an LTO2 drive.
=20
Also, I'd like to send slower (100mb/s) clients to LTO2 drives, and GigE cl=
ients to LTO3, etc.
=20
best way I can see to do that is to add another library for the LTO3 drives=
, so that there's a separate storage units with just those drives, OR add a=
 second media server, and configure zones to allow each media server to onl=
y see one type of drive.
