Dear NetBackup Gurus,

Is it a bad practice to mix LTO3 and LTO4 drives in the same tape library?


How I would be able to accommodate such a setup?

Page 217 in the NBU Administration Guide
http://support.veritas.com/docs/290203 sounds discouraging:

========= quote ==========
Drives with different densities must be in separate storage units.
Consider an STK SL500 library that is configured as a Tape Library DLT
(TLD). It can have both half-inch cartridge and DLT drives. Here, you
must define a separate storage unit for each density.
=======end of quote ========


Thank you,
Aleksandr
