I think the postfix isn't important to Netbackup - It doesn't care past =
six
digits on the barcode (by default).
=20
I've heard some libraries make a deal out of it but our ADIC doesn't =
and,
IIRC, my past L700 didn't care either.

Yup...figured that...could call them 1/4" for that matter, right?

as long as you have a drive type and a media type that match?

what's the use of the barcodes tagged with the type? like I have "L2"

=20
Something about the library determining the drive/media type?
Haven't looked into that much.

I'm trying to convince the powers that be, that we should buy new media =

a new barcode range before we turn these drives up.....otherwise we'll =
get
all of our LTO2 media randomly inserted into the LTO3 drives, and then =
no

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.

already have multiple stu's, for another reason....not a problem there.

Thanks to Samuel, I think I got what i needed.....will configure the =

create a new storage unit for the HCART3 format.

anyone see a prob with that?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] multiple tape format in one library??????
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.
