I agree that it isn't usually good policy to risk apps overwriting each others
tapes, but in this case we are protected because the NBU media server is zoned
into only LTO4 drives and the other application owns only the 9840D drives.
What I ended up doing is letting NBU do a library inventory and then I deleted
the 9840D volumes out of the media list. Not a big deal for us because the 9840
tapes are for archive and never leave the library and these NBU backups will
have only a couple of months of retention so there will be hardly ever be any
coming and going of media...

I'd recommend you look into native partitioning options for the SL8500.
We have a couple SL3000's that we've purchased the logical partitioning
(not ACSLS) licensing for, and it works great and really easy to setup.
License wasn't the cheapest, but didn't break the bank either.

Personally, I wouldn't like the idea of having a manually implmented
administrative function (ie: barcode rules) protecting tapes I don't
want over-written by another application. I could probably list the
reasons why, but hopefully they're obvious enough...

I don't think you can do that.
I don't have that kind of library but I do have one that I can make 2
virtual libraries out of.
When I put tapes INTO the MAP the library asks me, on the touch screen,
what virtual library I want the tapes to go to. So I have to put the
tapes in separately - put tapes in for library a - inject, put tapes in
for library b - inject

Hi,
I also use ACSLS/SL8500 w/NBU, only two barcode rules but can confirm
they
are working properly. Never tried to preview a barcode rule update
though.
