Well I forgot that, if the library is able to manage different cartridge type, 
everything is different.
My experience is very limited and about STK Libraries (with ACSLS of course), 
and 358x libraries (3583/3584), with and without partitioning. 
It is also different when mixing LTO drives with other technologies.

You may have found your answer; however, there is a TSM Technote on libraries 
using mixed media.

The Technote reference number is 1155662

Subject: [ADSM-L] Mixing drive types in logical library 3584

Hi all,

I have been told by IBM that fibre LTO2 drives are no longer available.
We
wish to expand the number of drives in our 3584 library from 2 to 5. The 
current 2 drives are fibre LTO2 drives, would it pose a problem by adding an 
additional 3 LTO3 drives to that logical library? Is it possible under 
Windows??  I realize I will need to continue to use LTO2 media, as the existing 
LTO2 drives would not be compatable with LTO3 media. Our TSM server is running 
on Windows 2003. 

Any input would be appreciated.

Regards,

Chris
