I have this problem with 2 different capacity IBM 3592 media types. I couldn't work out any way to get NetBackup to use 2 different media types on one drive.

Luckily I have enough tape drives that I was able to set some drives to HCART, and some to HCART2. It means I lose a certain amount of flexibility, but at least I can use both media types, and can specify which backups use which media type.

Cheers
Dean

Does NBU have the capability to use multiple media types in the same
drive based on policy?

My example is a Sun T10000 drive. There are two different types of tape
available. A standard tape that holds 1TB/2TB compressed & the Sport
version which holds about 250gb/500gb. Depending on the data being
backed up, we prefer the sport for faster access times.

Curious if NBU can utilize different scratch pools for this type of
customization or if it is tied to a single media type per drive?
