A good workaround ... without alphastor :
You must work with slot range :
1-50 -> DLT
51-100 -> SDLT
101-> 151 -> LTO
Not fixed inside legato but managed by your tape
operators.
It can cause problems during inventory, recover or labelling but
a problem without solution is a badly described problem :
Inventoty your lib or start labelling using nsrjb and
specify -f <drive> and -S <Slot range> depending of media tyme
For the recovers, mount manually the tape before launching the
recover.
that's working fine for me.

and Barcodes
You must use either AlphaStor or SmartMedia. NetWorker doe snot support
mixed media out of the box.
In AlphaStor you will have to segment the physical library into multiple
virtual libraries within AS.
SmartMedia will handle this out of the box with one library definition.
If you have more questions, please e-mail AlphaStor AT legato DOT com
