Hi,
I have au TSM 6.2.3 server and it's connected to a TS3200 library. I'm still using LTO4 tapes but we bought LTO5 tapes last time because we have 2 LTO5 drives in the library. I defined a different device class for each kind of tape. For many weeks already, I often find empty tape in private status and didn't know why. Last week, I was looking in my TSM console when it happened. I have some Storage pool that are using LTO4 tapes and others that are using LTO5 Tapes. The switch happen when a job for a storage pool need a scratch. It search the library and take the first scratch it find. It load it and if it's not the good kind of tape, it switch it to private so it won't look at it anymore. So if a job for a storage pool need that kind of scratch tape, it won't find any scratch and the job will fail.
Anybody know if I can make it work in a different way ? I don't want it to change the status of the tape if it's not the kind it need.
Thank for your help.
