Re: [Veritas-bu] LTO3 mixed LTO2 drive using LTO2 cartridgeswithACSLS

Hi Martin,
I can proof, I have LTO-3 tape drives configured as hcart2 and use them with LTO-2 tape cartridges. I have the second site where just LTO-2 tape drives that is why just LTO-2 tapes for consistency. As soon as I will have a chance to upgrade the second site with LTO-3 drives, I will reconfigure the first (not really primary site) site and then just do the backup with LTO-3 tape drives and keep old LTO-2 drives for restores from LTO-2 tape media. So, the same what Marianne said. Btw, interesting thing, LTO-3 tape drives seams faster then LTO-2 drives even when you use them with LTO-2 tape media.
Regards,
Boris

Yup,
that can be the way.. but they want the ocular proof that LTO3 drives can read and write the LTO2 media's.
for all, the library is STK L5500. Is it support for the partitioning?
getting more interesting here..
Regards,
Martin.

I would personally config the drives as hcart2 - easiest
way out. When you receive your LTO3 media, reconfig your drives as hcart3 and
add your hcart3 media. Your hcart2 images can be restored using the LTO2 drives.
We have a customer doing that - LTO2 & LTO3 all
configed as hcart2, all using hcart2 media. Backups written on the LTO3 drives
using LTO2 media can be restored on any of the drives.
