I've a library with 6 LTO tape drive. I want upgrade 3 tape drive to LTO2.
The library's manufacturer said me that's possible.
But TSM works fine in this new configuration? I've problem if I define 2 device class on the same library? Could I have problems? If I have 2 different device-class defined on the same library, obviously, I have different storage pool on the same library ... but how TSM locate a scratch LTO if the library contains LTO and LTO2 tapes? If a storage pool needs a scratch volume how TSM find it? Using the column DeviceType of the tables libvolumes?
