No problem with that.  That's the right way. =20
=20
By the way, LTO3=3D=3DHCART3 is just a convenience.  There's no =
coorelation
between the "3"'s in those names.  You could configure them as HCART =
(or
DLT2) for all Netbackup cares.  NB just matches the type in the VolDB =
with
the type on the STU.

5.0
=20
already have multiple stu's, for another reason....not a problem there.
=20
Thanks to Samuel, I think I got what i needed.....will configure the =
drives
and media as different formats ( LTO2 -> HCART2  and LTO3 -> HCART3) =
and
create a new storage unit for the HCART3 format.
=20
anyone see a prob with that?

What version of NetBackup are using? There was a bug in 4.5MP6 that =
didn't
allow multiple storage units for a media server from the GUI, you can =
still
do it from the command  line.

Is anyone using multiple tape/tape drive formats in one library with a
single media server?
=20
for example:
=20
one server, one library
some LTO2 drives, some LTO3 drives.
=20
how do you manage it? can't (from what I can tell) assign each type of =
drive
to a different storage unit (without a second media server).
Do you have both types of tapes, and let NBU assign jobs and tapes to =
drives
as it pleases?
=20
I want to avoid my LTO2 tapes being loaded into LTO3 drives and being
written so that they can no longer be used in an LTO2 drive.
=20
Also, I'd like to send slower (100mb/s) clients to LTO2 drives, and =
GigE
clients to LTO3, etc.
=20
best way I can see to do that is to add another library for the LTO3 =
drives,
so that there's a separate storage units with just those drives, OR add =
a
second media server, and configure zones to allow each media server to =
only
see one type of drive.
