Why do you say LTO is a downgrade from 9840?  From what I've been told, it
has faster data transfer and the tapes hold 5x as much data... what's the
downside?

Not that I know anything about your problem, except that using more media
servers over SSO should not be a problem.

But what I was thinking when I read your email was:

Woww. Downgrading from 9840 to LTO that is something.
If I was you I would look into 9940 and not LTO. LTO is not even close to
STK9840, STK9940 and IBM 3590
