Bobby,

 

How do you mange the different tapes once they are in the library?  Do
you start the tapes in the pool that you would use them in instead of
the scratch pool?  I am assuming that the LTO2 media is not appropriate
for all your jobs. Do you have both LTO2 and LTO3 drives in the same
library? Do you use LTO2 media in LTO3 drives?

I have the both in the same library at multiple locations.  If you
define them at HCART2, they show as HCART2.  If you define them as
HCART, then they show as HCART.  You have to define them as the same
media type as you defined the LTO-3 tape drives.  That must be different
from the LTO-2 tape drives.

 

The biggest headache is that unless you started out using the last 2
digits of the bar code in your tape label names, you can not make a bar
code that will distinguish between LTO-2 and LTO-3 media.

 

The first time that you inject a new piece of media that is not set as
your default media in your bar code rule, you will have to over-ride the
media type.

 

Bobby.

        Hello,

         

        Quick question. .. Does anyone use LTO2 and LTO3 media in the
same library because of a mandate from management?  Are there any
gotchas? Does LTO3 media still appear as HCART2?

         

        Thanks in advance.
