>From the README.SRV for the 5.1.6.2 server:

TSM now includes support for the second generation of LTO hardware.  This
support
was introduced at 5.1.6.1 and is supported by any level released later;
however,
any attempt to use LTO2 devices on a lower level than 5.1.6.1 is not
supported.
Upgrading from LTO to LTO2 devices:

When migrating from LTO to LTO2 devices, you need to follow one of the set
of
steps below:

  - If you are maintaining both generations simultaneously, LTO gen1 and LTO
    gen2, then you need to logically partition your library such that the
drives
    of these two generations are disjoint.

  - If you are upgrading all your drives to LTO gen2, then
        1. Delete all your old LTO gen1 drive definitions as well as any
paths
           associated with these old drive definitions.
        2. Define the new LTO2 drives and paths associated with the new
hardware.

    NOTE:  LTO gen2 drives are backwards read compatible as well as
backwards
           write compatible. Therefore, you do NOT need to mark your LTO
gen1
           media as "read only".

Subject: LTO1 and LTO2 in one Library


Hi,

we plan to install  LTO-Drives (LTO-Generation 2) in our IBM3584 which is
know using only LTO1.

Does anybody have an idea how this works?

Must I define separate libraries?

Does anybody have experiece with such a configuration?
